The next day as promised, Pan brought her Kid self to Sadala, where Cabba took her out to a field to continue their training. The two were currently sparring in the wastelands with the older Pan sitting nearby and observing everything.
"You've gotten better," Cabba said, blocking some strikes. "Your speed's increased, you're much more precise and you really pack power into your punches."
"Thanks Cabba!" Kid Pan said, going for a kick that the older Saiyan blocked. He went for a punch but she quickly grabbed it and attempted to flip him over, but a quick elbow to her back stopped her progress.
"You're thinking much quicker too," Cabba said as he stepped back, taking another defensive stance.
Kid Pan turned around, trying to focus her energy, looking for the proper opening on Cabba, but the boy was pretty well guarded. He did seem open around his legs, so acting quickly she sent an energy blast at his feet, causing him to jump out of the way.
"This is my chance!" Kid Pan flew in and connected a punch to Cabba's jaw. "I did it!"
"Don't get careless!" Cabba said, punching Kid Pan hard across her jaw, knocking her to the floor.
"Ow..." Kid Pan said, struggling to stand.
"Hey, are you alright little me!?" Pan shouted, rushing over to the younger girl.
"I'm fine," Kid Pan insisted, trying to deal with the pain. "Nothing I can't handle."
Pan turned her attention to Cabba, "Please don't be so rough, I'd prefer if you weren't too much like Caulifla."
"I said I'm fine," Kid Pan said. "Don't treat me like a little kid."
"Huh, first time I've been on the receiving end of that line," Pan commented.
"You technically are a little kid though," Cabba pointed out.
"Well, I'm still really strong!" Kid Pan said. "I don't want to be treated like I'm weak. You keep fighting the way you are, I can take it."
"Wow, you've come a long way considering you were terrified of Caulifla," Cabba said. "That or I just don't punch as hard as she does."
"You're less violent than she is at least, and I trust you more," Kid Pan said. "But I also want to be strong enough to fight her again, and win. I can handle a little toughness, it makes me feel stronger after each day."
"You can thank your Saiyan genes for that, each fight makes you stronger, especially if you nearly die," Cabba said.
"Nearly die huh? Maybe I am better off with Caulifla then," Kid Pan said, chuckling a bit. "But seriously, that sounds scary."
"It is, I've recovered from near death before, and it's raised my power significantly," Cabba said. "Soon I'll be strong enough to defeat my enemies."
"Mira and Towa," Pan said. "Once we defeat them, we can rectify all of their damage, and maybe even get little me back home."
"If I go back home, will I still be able to see you and Cabba?" Kid Pan asked.
"Uh, yeah, that's a good question," Pan said. "Will she still be able to see us?"
"If we fix everything, then probably not, Supreme Kai of Time will probably merge the timelines together," Cabba said.
"So, I won't see you two again huh?" Kid Pan realized. "That would be really sad."
"Well, look on the bright side, chances are you won't remember so you won't miss us," Cabba said. "And you get to be with your parents."
"I guess," Kid Pan said.
"But wait, if she doesn't remember, then wouldn't that mean her training here is for nothing?" Pan asked.
"Well her mind might not remember, but her body will," Cabba said. "But then again, this is only my theory, I guess if we want a concrete answer, we should see the Supreme Kai of Time."
"Why don't we? Maybe we can use that training room as well," Pan said.
"That sounds even better, maybe we can invite Caulifla and Kale," Cabba said.
"And I can try to contact Bulla," Pan said. "That way all six of us can train together, we just gotta come up with strong enemies."
"Or one massively powerful foe," Cabba said. "Alright, let's get to it."
Later on at the Time Nest, after getting into contact with Trunks, Cabba and Pan were able to make their way over alongside their allies, including a very curious Bulla.
"It's so weird how you're another version of my brother," Bulla commented to Xeno Trunks. "Like, does it seem strange to see another version of your sister?"
"You were never born in my timeline, so it's strange seeing that I had a sister at all," Xeno Trunks commented.
"Mysteries of the multiverse," Cabba said. "Makes me wonder what I'm like in another timeline. Imagine a timeline where I'm in Universe Seven."
"Or a timeline where Universe Six won the Tournament of Power," Kale said.
"Or a timeline where I got together with Gohan," Caulifla commented, getting strange looks from her friends. "Hey I'm allowed to theorize."
"I'd rather you didn't theorize about that Caulifla," Kale sourly stated.
"Hey maybe he took you in as well, I'd share a guy with you, even Cabba," Caulifla said.
"Can we please not delve into that," Cabba said, feeling awkward.
Upon arriving in the Time Vault, this group of warriors was surprised to see another face there, though not too surprised.
"Gohan? You're here again?" Cabba said.
Gohan turned his attention to the group, "Hey Cabba, I see you and Pan are back and..." Gohan saw everyone the two were with. "Wow, you brought a lot of friends."
"Gohan!" Caulifla flashed a sadistic grin as she cracked her knuckles. "Looks like I'll finally have my chance against you!"
Gohan backed up a little, "Hey easy now, I'm not here for a fight!"
"Tough luck kid, I've been waiting a long time for a rematch," Caulifla said, cracking her knuckles. "And I'm gonna get one!"
"Caulifla, ease up!" Cabba urged. "This isn't the time or place to fight."
"Listen to your friend," came Eighteen's voice as she and Seventeen came into view, alongside Chronoa. "You start a fight with Gohan, and you'll be dealing with me as well."
"Fine by me, I'll take you on as well," Caulifla said.
"Come on Caulifla, now isn't the time!" Pan scolded.
"It's always a good time for a fun little spar," Caulifla said.
"If you want to fight, do it elsewhere," Chronoa said. "I don't need you fighting in here and messing up all my scrolls. You have no idea what type of catastrophes you would unleash on the timelines."
"Plus we're not here to fight, we're here to train," Cabba said.
"Which involves fighting," Caulifla pointed out.
"Well, yeah but..." Cabba wasn't sure how to properly reply to that, she got him good there.
"I'm here to do my own thing right now, if I have time, then later I'll fight you Caulifla," Gohan said. "I could use a good spar to test out the training I received from Lord Zamasu."
"I'm holding you to that," Caulifla warned. "I got a nice ass-whooping with your name on it!"
Kid Pan curiously gazed at the boy, hearing his name struck some familiarity within her. She turned to her older self, "That's Gohan? That's our papa?"
"Huh?" Pan then realized something amazing. "Oh right, you haven't met this Gohan yet." Pan called attention to the young Gohan standing across from her. "Hey Gohan! We have someone for you to meet!"
"Who me?" Gohan said, before noticing the young Pan standing next to her future counterpart. "Is that..."
"Yeah, it's me, a younger me that is," Pan nudged her kid self over to Gohan. "Go say 'hello'."
"Uh, alright," Kid Pan said, nervously walking over to Gohan. She's never seen him so young, he looked barely younger than her Uncle Goten. "Uh, hi."
Gohan knelt before the girl, "Hi Pan, do you know who I am?"
"I think so, are you my daddy?" Kid Pan asked.
"Sort of," Gohan said. "I'm from another timeline though, so I'm technically not your dad, just another version of him."
"Alright, so you're like my daddy, but you're also another person," Kid Pan said. "So, can I just call you by your name?"
"That's fine with me, your older self does since I'm technically not her dad," Gohan said. "I even did the same when I met my mom as a kid."
"Right, I forgot you ran into grandma when she was younger," Pan said. "Wonder how she's doing?"
"Oh she's fine, I went to see her the other day, she introduced me to her dad," Gohan said. "It was weird seeing my Grandpa Ox looking so scary and intimidating."
"Yeah, hard to imagine a goofball guy like that could be dangerous," Seventeen said.
"The Ox King was at one point a viscous warrior who had the honor of being the second man to train with Master Roshi," Chronoa explained.
"Yeah Goku and Chi-Chi have mentioned that, I know that Grandpa Gohan was the first to do so," Eighteen said.
"Grandpa Gohan?" Caulifla asked. "Wait is that some other Gohan or something?"
"She means my dad's Grandpa," Gohan explained. "My dad named me after his grandfather."
"Which when you think about it, is kind of weird that he called that guy 'Grandpa'," Seventeen said. "I mean, if he raised him, wouldn't he technically be his father? He even gave Goku his Earth name."
"Hey you'd need to ask my dad, but maybe Grandpa Gohan just told my dad to call him 'Grandpa'," Gohan said.
"Best not to overthink it, not like it matters much in the end," Eighteen said. "Though hearing that Goku named his son after someone so dear to him is always a heartwarming tale."
"Since when do you care about heartwarming stuff?" Seventeen pointed out.
"Shove it," Eighteen said.
Kid Pan turned to the two Androids, "Who are those two over there?"
"Who us?" Seventeen asked.
"I think I recognize the lady, but I don't think I know you," Kid Pan said.
"I'm Seventeen, and that girl is Eighteen," the boy explained.
Pan squinted her eyes at Eighteen, "Oh now I remember, wow your hair is longer."
"Longer? Wait, I have a different hair style?" Eighteen asked.
"Yeah, you cut your hair short, you also dress like a business woman," Pan explained.
"Short hair? Business woman?" Eighteen said. "Wait, what am I like in your timeline?"
"Furthermore, what about me? Do I even exist?" Seventeen asked.
"You did, but you were evil, you hurt a lot of innocent people, and you even killed Krillin," Pan explained.
"That little monk? What for?" Seventeen asked. "Wait, I think you mentioned something like this on The Prison Planet."
"Doctor Gero mind controlled you from hell, with assistance from Doctor Myuu, and together they built another Seventeen that you fused with to become Super 17," Pan said.
"You were quite the villain in their timeline," Chronoa said. "You helped a lot of villains escape from hell, of course Goku and the others put a stop to that really quick."
"You were pretty strong as Super 17, you really gave a good fight to Grandpa, and he was Super Saiyan 4," Pan said. "Luckily Eighteen showed up to help and together they defeated you."
Seventeen glared at his sister, "That isn't much of a thrilling fact hearing my sister turn against me."
"Come on, I bet Eighteen hated having to do that," Gohan said.
"According to Grandpa, I think she was almost crying, or at least just really upset," Pan said. "I mean you got wished back since you weren't really evil, grandpa even thinks you purposely took over your fused body to let your guard down, so in a way, you worked with Grandpa and Eighteen to take down Super 17."
"Well, I suppose that's better than knowing they overpowered me," Seventeen said.
"Is that really the worst part of it?" Eighteen asked. "Keep in mind you were being mind controlled by Doctor Gero."
"Yeah, I'll take death over listening to that old fool," Seventeen said. "Still, kind of sucks that my legacy in your timeline is being evil."
"Hey you get wished back at least, last I heard you were living peacefully on an island," Pan said.
"Guess that's better, not by a lot though," Seventeen said.
"At least you won't have to worry about that in your future," Gohan said. "I mean you already have a villain Legacy in another timeline, same with Eighteen. Things just happen."
"He's right, I've never been bothered by the fact that there's an evil version of me," Eighteen said. "Barely bothered me to even kill that version."
"Wow you're heartless," Seventeen joked. "Even I felt some pain getting rid of my evil self, one less attractive guy in the multiverse."
"You're so full of it," Eighteen said.
"Holy smokes!" Came Videl's voice, the girl stepping into view from the vault as she checked out a scroll. "Wow Gohan, you really laid it into Cell!"
"Is that my timeline or the main timeline?" Gohan asked.
"Yours, because that Buu guy is there too," Videl said. "But wow, you really clobbered him."
"Cell, I'll never forget just how terrifying it was to get absorbed," Seventeen said.
"Worst experience of my life," Eighteen lamented.
"Cell's a real creep," Cabba said. "The way he talks down to you, acts like he's all high and mighty."
"Have you seen our fight?" Eighteen asked. "Or any fight?"
"More than that, we've actually interacted with Cell," Cabba said. "Pan and I in our missions have done battle against the likes of Cell, Frieza and Majin Buu, I even went on a solo mission to fight a creature called Baby."
"My solo mission was against Goku Black," Pan said. "Boy was he full of himself."
"Of course, he's a God, they usually are full of themselves," Seventeen said.
"Excuse me but I resent that notion," Chronoa said. "Not all Gods act that way."
"My Supreme Kai is at least pretty..." Cabba tried recalling Fuwa's personality. "Well he's calm at least, but can be a bit boastful."
"Let's just move on from this, now Cabba, you and your party have business to attend to here correct?" Chronoa asked.
"Oh yeah, we want to use that training room of yours," Cabba explained.
"Training room?" Videl asked, her curiousity peaked. "Do elaborate."
"There's a training room here in the Time Nest that allows us to do battle against anyone through simulations," Pan said.
"Which are pretty real and you can set them as strong as you need to be," Cabba said.
"They even have their original personalities, so it's like you're actually doing battle against them," Pan said.
"Whoa!" Videl turned to Gohan. "Dude we gotta try that."
"We will, first thing's first though, I did have a reason for coming to the Time Nest," Gohan said. "I have a friend to see."
"But hey, if you need another sparring partner for this machine, I can totally join you," Videl said.
"That'd be great, but we're sparring more with the simulations than each other," Cabba said. "Should be a good session none the less."
Videl turned to Gohan, "You don't mind, do you?"
"That's fine with me, I just need to see Bulma, we can meet up with you later," Gohan said. "That's if Seventeen and Eighteen don't want to join you now."
"No that's fine, we'll stick around," Seventeen said. "You're gonna need some back up in case Eighteen gets jealous."
"Excuse me? I don't get jealous," Eighteen said. "I'm just curious to see that younger Bulma again."
"Yeah, and make sure she's not after your little Gohan-chan," Seventeen teased.
"Again with that Gohan-chan thing, what the fuck is that even about anyway?" Eighteen asked.
Cabba turned to Pan, gesturing to the training room, "Maybe we should leave."
"Yeah, let's," Pan said, awkwardly following Cabba with the rest of their party, with the exception of Caulifla, who stayed behind to enjoy the bickering.
"Caulifla!" Kale called.
"Ugh, fine," Caulifla said, reluctantly pulling away until it was just Gohan, Chronoa and the bickering Androids.
"I'll just pull up the timeline," Chronoa said. "I hope you know what you're asking of me Gohan."
"It can't hurt having Bulma's knowledge, plus she knows about the time travel anyway," Gohan said.
"I guess so," Chronoa said, using her powers to send the trio to Capsule Corp, startling the two Androids a moment.
"Uh, were we sent back home?" Seventeen asked.
"No, we're in the past," Gohan said. "This is back when Bulma was a teenager. Now remember, she knows who we are but no one else does."
"Fine with us," Seventeen said.
"Also, if you see her parents, try not to let him know you're both Androids," Gohan warned. "This was around the time The Red Ribbon Army was active, and I don't want her dad thinking you two are spies or or anything,. I don't think they've begun their invasion yet but just in case."
"What should we say if he asks who we are then?" Seventeen asked.
"Uh, use your real names," Gohan said.
"But those are our human names," Seventeen said. "And we're not human."
"Hey if my dad can use a human name from Earth, you two can be Lapis and Lazuli for a bit," Gohan said. "I don't even know why you still insist on being called Numbers, you already ditched your Red Ribbon clothes, you should ditch your names too."
"Gohan, you know our lives before being turned into cyborgs wasn't really all that great either," Eighteen said.
"I know but..." Gohan shook his head. "We'll discuss this later, if you can help it just don't give any indication that you were modified by Doctor Gero and had nothing to do with his army."
"No prob boss," Seventeen said with a mock salute.
"We won't compromise this for you," Eighteen said, giving a thumbs up.
Gohan nodded in affirmation and knocked on the Capsule Corp door. This time instead of seeing Doctor Brief, a blonde haired woman appeared.
"Oh, who might you be?" the woman asked.
Gohan recognized this woman as Panchy, Bulma's mother. "Uh, hello ma'am, we're here to see Bulma."
"Oh, a charming young boy wants to see my Bulma?" Panchy then noticed Seventeen. "Oh, two charming young boys. Plus a cute little girl as well."
"What part of me is little lady?" Eighteen asked.
"Eight-er, I mean, Lazuli!" Gohan scolded.
"Oh, Lazuli, such a nice name," Panchy said. "Who might you boys be?"
"I'm Gohan, and that boy is Lapis," the young hybrid explained.
"Oh so you're Gohan, my little Bulma's mentioned you, said you're quite a sweetheart," Panchy said. "Please, come on inside dear."
"Thank you Mrs. Bulma's mom," Gohan said, then turned to the Androids. "Let's go see Bulma."
Gohan walked inside with the two Androids following, both passing a glance toward Panchy. Somehow she looked the same here as she did in their timeline, like if she had not aged at all. Eighteen considered her lucky to keep her looks, Seventeen figured she was secretly a robot or something.
Bulma was in her room, brushing her hair in front of a mirror when she heard a knock on her door. "That you dad!?"
"No, its me, Gohan!" The boy said.
"Gohan!" Bulma quickly got up to open the door. "Back already, that's..." She took note of the two Androids behind him. "Oh, you brought friends?"
"Is that a bad thing?" Gohan asked. "Sorry I didn't clear it with you first but-"
"No it's fine, I think I remember these two," Bulma said. "You were both on planet Vegeta helping fight those villains."
"That's us," the male Android said. "Call me Seventeen."
"You can call me Eighteen," his sister replied.
"Alright, should be easy to remember, as long as I don't get you two mixed up," Bulma said. "A bit unconventional to be numbers though."
"Can you keep a secret?" Eighteen asked.
"Uh, sure," Bulma reassured.
"Promise you won't freak or anything, and don't tell your parents," Seventeen said.
Bulma turned to Gohan, looking nervous, "I'm not going to regret this, am I?"
Gohan shook his head, "You have my word, you do need to be in the loop of things though, promise you'll hear them out."
"Uh, alright," Bulma said, turning to the two siblings. "So, what's your story?"
"We're not fully humans, we're Androids created by Doctor Gero," Seventeen said.
"We were a part of the Red Ribbon Army," Eighteen added.
"The Red Ribbon-" Gohan quickly flew over to cover her mouth.
"Don't say it out loud!" Gohan pleaded, pulling away from Bulma.
"Sorry, I was just surprised," Bulma said. "I heard of the Red Ribbon Army, they're actually rivals to Capsule Corp, and I heard they weren't very nice."
"They're not, complete jerks," Eighteen said. "Especially Doctor Gero, that old bastard wanted me and my brother to conquer the world for him."
"We were also programmed to kill Gohan's dad, not that we went through with it," Seventeen said.
"You were programed to target Goku? What for?" Bulma asked.
"Just keep an eye out, you'll see for yourself soon," Gohan said.
"Uh, alright..." Bulma nervously replied, the warning sounding almost ominous. She focused back on the twins, "So, you're both Androids."
"I mean if you want to be technical, we're Cyborgs," Eighteen pointed out. "We're just part of Gero's Android experiment."
"Android Experiment?" Bulma asked. "Say, you mentioned you were Seventeen and Eighteen, does that mean there were more?"
"Yeah, back in our timeline there's also an Android 16. Unlike me and my sister, he's fully robotic," Seventeen explained.
"There was also a Nineteen and Twenty," Eighteen said. "Twenty is actually just Doctor Gero, he put his brain into a robot body."
Bulma looked a bit weirded out, "Seriously? That's so weird."
"Well he's a creep, that's for sure," Seventeen said.
"We've seen other Androids from other timelines, such as and Android 13, who was kind of a pain," Eighteen said.
"There's also an Android 21, she's much more dangerous," Gohan said. "Oh and there's Cell too, not numbered but still an Android. Unlike the others he's a Bio-Android."
"Bio Android?" Bulma asked.
"He was made from the Cells of many different warriors, like my dad, a guy named Vegeta, even Frieza," Gohan explained.
"Wow, so bizarre," Bulma said, then turned back to the twins. "Why were you two turned into Androids? Or Cyborgs?"
"Hard to say, part of us thinks it's because it was easier to make a human stronger than build one from scratch," Seventeen said.
"Or he wanted us so we could be fed into Cell," Eighteen said. "Help him achieve his Ultimate Perfection."
"Wow...this is a lot to process," Bulma said. "I mean, the science behind this is pretty amazing, but it's also worrying that someone like that is out there. Did you two want to become Cyborgs?"
"We didn't ask for it, it just happened," Seventeen said. "Can't take it back now though, what's done is done."
"Don't feel sorry for us, we're over it by now," Eighteen said. "We're living happily with Gohan and his family."
"They've kind of taken an older sibling role," Gohan said.
"That's cute, it's nice that you three have each other then," Bulma said. "My sister lives pretty far away so I don't get to see her often."
"You have a sister?" Seventeen asked.
"Oh did I never introduce her in your timeline?" Bulma asked. "Wait, does future me know you?"
"Yeah, you've met us, Sixteen lives at Capsule Corp in our timeline, but you still never mentioned a sister," Seventeen said.
"Guess it never came up in conversation, but I have a sister named Tights, she made friends with some alien a long time ago," Bulma said. "Think his name is Jaco."
"The Galactic Patrolman?" Gohan asked. "That's kind of cool."
"So, is there a reason you're here Gohan? Aside from formally introducing me to your friends?" Bulma asked.
"Yes, it's about what we discussed yesterday," Gohan said. "You mentioned you wanted to go back to the Time Nest."
"Yeah, what about it?" Bulma asked.
"I spoke with the Supreme Kai of Time, she might be willing to give you a chance among the Time Patrol, you could really do some neat things, if you're interested," Gohan said.
"So, I can actually work there? Like see all the different types of technology?" Bulma asked.
"Yeah, exactly," Gohan confirmed. "You might be able to do just about anything."
"Are there any cute guys there as well?" Bulma asked, both Androids raising their eyebrows at the comment.
"Huh?" Gohan of course forgot a moment that this Bullma is a teenager and a bit boy crazy. "Uh, I guess. There are guys but I'm not one to tell who's cute or not."
"I've seen some attractive looking patrollers," Eighteen vouched, Gohan getting a bit jealous.
"Try to take this opportunity seriously though Bulma, this ca be huge for you," Gohan said.
"Yeah, you're right, I'll make the most of it, promise," Bulma said. "Just let me tell my parents, be right back."
Bulma quickly went to fetch her parents, leaving Gohan in the room with the Androids.
"Gotta say, she doesn't look half bad in this timeline," Seventeen noticed, getting a glare from Eighteen and Gohan.
"Are you for real? Keep in mind she ends up with Vegeta," Gohan said.
"The one in our timeline, but this one, she seems up for grabs," Seventeen said.
"Don't make this awkward," Gohan said. "Besides, if she were interested in you, she would have said something sooner."
"Maybe she's trying not to make it obvious," Seventeen pointed out.
"Put a sock in it," Eighteen said.
"Yeah, put a sock in it," Gohan reiterated.
"Fine, be jealous then," Seventeen sassed.
Minutes later, Bulma returned back to her room, "Alright, I'm back. I'll check this out first before making my decision."
"Wait, what exactly did you tell your parents?" Gohan asked.
"I just told them that I was going on a trip, they don't mind," Bulma said.
"I guess it makes sense, you did go traveling all on your own to find The Dragon Balls," Gohan said.
"What did you need The Dragon Balls for?" Seventeen asked.
"I was deciding between a Lifetime Supply of Strawberries and The Perfect Boyfriend," Bulma said.
"I would have wished for a car," Seventeen said. "Or a big boat to sail around the world."
"Wow, that's pretty neat," Bulma said.
Eighteen shook her head, "Such shallow wishes."
"Says the girl who would have wished for clothes!" Seventeen said.
"Alright, you know what little brother?" Eighteen began to warn.
"Can we please get going? I don't want to keep the Supreme Kai of Time waiting," Gohan said, then contacted the Time Nest. "Alright, we're ready."
Within a few seconds, Gohan and company were transported back to the Time Nest, where Bulma would get a huge opportunity.
While this was happening, in the training simulation room, Cabba was using the remote to set up a sparring session for himself and his group. First up was a simulation of the Universe 4 fighter Ganos.
Pan was trading blows with the talented fighter, he was tough but nothing she could not handle. "I saw your battle against Master Roshi, if he can beat you, so can I!"
"Don't overestimate your abilities!" Ganos said, trying to overtake Pan.
During this, Caulifla and Kale were doing battle against the simulations of Goku Black and Zamasu.
"Seeing Goku this intimidating is unusual, yet intimidating," Caulifla said, carefully dodging his attacks.
"You will not escape my wrath, foolish mortal!" Black shouted, going for a ki blast that Caulifla deflected, then flew in with a kick to his head.
Zamasu went hard against Kale, but the normally shy girl was holding her own against the corrput God. "It's so unusual fighting a Supreme Kai."
"Unusual? You mean blasphemous," Zamasu said, going for a swipe, Kale barely dodging.
"He's tough!" Kale said, blasting Zamasu away from her. "But I'll be tougher!"
Nearby, Bulla and Kid Pan were doing a team up against a simulation of Frost, as suggested by Cabba.
"So this is a Frieza race guy," Bulla said, trying to attack. "Not as tough as Cooler at least."
"Don't you underestimate," Frost said, parrying a blow and punching Bulla back. Kid Pan tried a punch but he was quick to block. "I am the strongest of my Universe!"
"Sounds bogus," Bulla said, flying in with a kick to his head. "Bet you're not stronger than The Saiyans."
"I am! Stronger than those of Universe Six and Seven!" Frost said. "That Vegeta will regret the day he took that cheap shot at me!"
As he went for a punch, Bulla ducked and elbowed him in the gut, "If you can't beat my dad, don't claim to be the greatest!" Bulla then whacked Frost with a mighty uppercut, Kid Pan flying in with a kick.
"Impressive, almost as if Frost is actually here," Cabba commented.
"Focus your attention to me," Came Hit's voice. Cabba turned to the simulation of his Universe 6 Captain. "Any slight distraction can cost you everything."
"Heh, speaking of being actually here, I could swear you're the real Hit," Cabba said, getting into position. "Alright, let's' keep going!"
The two flew in, colliding their blows against one another. Cabba went for a few quick strikes but Hit was fast, dodging them through his time skip and landing some blows on Cabba. The boy powered up, trying to focus more on defense than power.
Hit zoomed in again with a punch, Cabba blocking and trying for a kick, but one time-skip later, Cabba is back on the floor, courtesy of a surprise kick from the assassin.
"Gotta keep trying," Cabba said, struggling to stand.
As Pan continued fighting Ganos, she noticed something troubling in the corner of her eye, that being the spar Videl was having.
Being the arrogant girl she was, she choose to do battle against Cell. The girl was in over her head as she was getting smacked around by the simulation Android.
"What happened to all that talk from before?" Cell taunted, knocking Videl over again. "You may think you're the strongest, but in the end, you're just a measly Earthing child, you won't amount to greatness."
"Hey screw you!" Videl went for a kick but Cell whacked her away.
"What a disgrace," The Bio Android said.
"Oh no! I gotta help her!" Pan was about to fly in but Ganos stood in her path.
"You're fighting me!" He went for a punch that Pan quickly blocked.
"Out of my way!" Pan tried punching Ganos, finding herself in a quick clash against the transforming warrior. "Cabba! We have trouble!"
Cabba noticed that Videl was being completely overwhelmed by Cell, "I gotta end this!" He reached for the control but narrowly avoided an attack from Hit.
"Focus on your own battle!" Hit said, trying to attack again.
"Alright, I don't think the real hit would allow someone to get hurt!" Cabba said, trying to parry an attack, but taking a blow to the side, causing him to drop the control. "Oh no!"
"I got it!" Pan tried flying to the remote the Ganos had blasted her from behind, causing her to overshoot.
"I'm not through with you!" Ganos flew right after Pan, the girl powering up to fight him off.
"I'll give it a try!" Bulla tried flying toward the remote. Frost went to intercept but Kid Pan tackled him from the side.
"I won't let you!" Kid Pan said, attacking Frost with some punches, but the alien had elbowed her away.
Bulla got in close but she was startled by a blast that came from the nearby Caulifla vs Black brawl. She attempted to refocus but Frost had flown in and rammed her from behind.
"This is too much!" Cabba said, noticing everyone's struggles. "Did I make the enemies too strong!?"
Videl still tried attacking Cell, managing to get a flew blows to the Bio Android. Once she found momentum, she went for a few hard kicks, getting him in the chest and head. She flew back and charged an attack. "KAMEHAME-HA!"
Videl sent a beam at Cell, but the evil Android pushed back at it. Eventually he powered a Kamehameha of his own that pushed through Videl's.
"Oh shit!" She quickly dodged to the side. She hoped to not leave too much of a pause between attacks and flew to attack Cell, but he blocked her kick and punched her hard in the stomach. With Videl stunned, Cell lifted the girl up by the neck, "So ends you, little girl."
"No! Videl!" Pan shouted. Ganos tried to attack but Pan ducked and elbowed him hard, following up with a Maiden Blast that knocked Ganos away. Pan then quickly dashed toward the remote, immediately turning off all the simulations.
"Hey! I was having fun over here!" Caulifla shouted.
"Be quiet! The rest of us were getting overwhelmed," Pan said, checking the remote. "Cabba, do you know what happened?"
Cabba looked over the remote himself, "Yeah, I made the difficulty a little too high, I'm lucky Hit didn't kill me."
"Hey if that Goku Black guy was just someone in Goku's body, and I still held my own, does that make me stronger?" Caulifla asked.
"Not now Caulifla," Cabba said, making his way over to Pan. "Hey, are you alright?"
"I'm fine, guess he took me by surprise," Videl said, checking her body. "I don't get it, I should be stronger, I trained with Goku in the Time Chamber place, I learned that beam of his."
"You definitely held your own, if that were the real Cell, you probably would have done better," Cabba said, hoping to keep her confidence high.
"That's good to know," Videl said. "Never thought I'd say this, but think I've had enough training for now."
"Not me, bring back Goku Black! I want to test myself further against him!" Caulifla said.
"Another time, let's get Videl out of here for now, plus Pan looks tired," Cabba said.
"I'm not tired," Pan replied, then saw Cabba gesturing to her kid self. "Oh that one."
"So weird that you're both the same person, but I've seen two Gohans, two Gokus and two Vegetas, even the two Brolys," Videl said. "So maybe it's not that weird."
"Oh, speaking of Broly, next time we come here, I want a shot against him," Caulifla said.
"Wait, which Broly? The evil one or the one we were friends with?" Pan asked.
"Whichever, they're both freakishly strong," Caulifla said.
"I kind of miss that Broly, and I miss Cheelai," Bulla said.
"Yeah me too, we should see if we can get her to come," Videl said.
Cabba led his group outside the simulation room where Chronoa had just met up with Gohan, The Androids and Bulma.
"Is that my mom?" Bulla commented.
This got Bulma's attention, focusing her eyes on the other turquoise haired girl, "No way, she looks just like me!"
"She should, that's your daughter from the future," Chronoa said.
"My daughter!?" Bulma turned to the girl. "So I grow up to have a son and a daughter?" Bulma made her way over to Bulla, "Wow, you look so pretty. Guess it helps having a mom like me."
"I'll say, you look almost exactly like me!" Bulla said.
"You two can pass as twins," Cabba said.
Bulma took note of Cabba, "I think I remember you." She took note of the others, "All of you. I think you were all on Planet Vegeta as well."
"That's us," Caulifla said. "So you're who Gohan came to see?"
"Yeah, that's me," Bulma said. "I'm Bulma."
"Name's Caulifla," the brash Saiyan woman said, then gestured to her friend. "And this is Kale."
"Hello," Kale greeted.
"I'm Cabba, I'm a Saiyan like Caulifla and Kale," the boy introduced.
"Name's Videl," the Earthling girl said, doing a quick wave.
"I'm Pan," the daughter of Gohan said, then gestured to her other self. "She's also Pan, but younger."
"Are you really Bulla's mommy?" Kid Pan asked.
"That's what I'm told," Bulma said. "Speaking of my kids, where is my son?"
"He's with some Time Patrol students, the version you met at least," Chronoa said.
"What of the other version? Bulla asked. "The one who came to The Prison Planet? How's he doing?"
"He's doing white well," Chronoa said. She reached for a scroll and showed the other Future Trunks of the Super timeline future. "There he is."
The boy was seen conversing with Mai, the two not in the midst of battle, but rather sitting together at a park bench. It was a pleasant sight for everyone to see the boy smiling and genuinely happy, especially those who know of his struggles.
"He looks so happy," Gohan said. "That's so great."
"Not bad for a kid who came from a Post Apocalyptic Future," Chronoa said.
"What happened in his timeline?" Bulma asked.
"It was destroyed by The An..." Chronoa had to remember that Seventeen and Eighteen were both present in the room. "By some villains."
"That's terrible," Bulma said. "But it looks like he's doing better."
"He is, he's mostly come to peace with it," Chronoa said. "Same with the Trunks here."
"How similar are their time paths anyway?" Caulifla asked.
"Very similar, it's hard to explain," Chronoa said. "Well maybe not hard but long and complicated."
"So what is it exactly you do in The Time Nest?" Bulma asked.
"My job is to preserve the many timelines across the dimensions, if there's an anomaly, I usually send someone in to fix it," Chronoa said. "Hence the origin of the Time Patrol."
"So you fix things that aren't suppose to happen then?" Bulma said. "Which is why you sent Gohan to my timeline?"
"Precisely, he was suppose to go in, deal with the problem, and leave," Chronoa said. "But the task was much more difficult than expected."
"Didn't expect Oren and Kamin to be so much trouble, plus Towa was there," Gohan said.
"Yeah I remember those freaky twins," Bulma said. "Where are they exactly?"
"Here in the Time Nest," Chronoa said, showing an image of them in a cell. "Along with other troublesome foes." Cumber, Laggs, Android 21 and Fu were also seen in cells.
"So bad guys like them mess with the timelines? Is that it?" Bulma asked.
"Yes, either by sending in someone who's not suppose to be there, or by powering up someone and making them stronger than they're suppose to be," Chronoa explained.
"When Pan and I did it, we encountered old villains such as Nappa, Frieza and Cell who had their power raised," Cabba said.
"We had to defeat them without drawing too much attention to ourselves, like giving away who we were," Pan said.
"I can handle a little deviation, because normally I fix it," Chronoa said. "I just need the evil dealt with first."
"But if it gets too bad, then you end up with another timeline, like yours," Gohan explained.
"Or sometimes someone makes a foolish mistake and it results in a separate timeline," Chronoa said, gesturing to Gohan.
"Hey mistakes happen you know!" Gohan said.
"Yeah, at heart I do blame Trunks for causing all this, but it still doesn't change the fact that you got way too curious," Chronoa said.
"What's done is done, can't change the past," Gohan said, then realized what he said. "Well you can but...oh you know what I mean."
"So is that why there's so many timelines?" Bulma asked. "Some changes were too big?"
"Not quite, some are official," Chronoa explained. "Pan comes from a timeline where certain things that happened in one timeline didn't happen in hers. It wasn't caused by anyone, aside from Toki Toki's egg."
"Toki Toki?" Bulma asked.
"My pet owl," Chronoa said. "He's around somewhere but whenever he lays an egg, it usually means another timeline."
"Uh, 'he'?" Bulma asked. "Don't girls of the species lay eggs?"
"Don't ask," Chronoa said. "Point is that Pan's separate Timeline was meant to happen, but Trunks's was not."
"Well now you're mostly caught up, do you still want to be a Time Patroller?" Gohan asked. "You don't have to go out and fight, Supreme Kai of TIme will find something you can do."
"We need technical assistance as well," Chronoa said. "Think you'd be up to that?"
"Of course, sounds fun," Bulma said.
"Good to know," Chronoa said. "I'll get you set up soon. Maybe you'll be able to help out Cabba and Pan."
"Wait, will I need to leave my home?" Bulma asked.
"No, that won't be necessary," Chronoa said. "Not right now at least."
"Alright, sounds great," Bulma said. "But what should I tell my parents?"
"I'd prefer if you didn't tell them anything, in fact try to keep all this on the down low in your timeline, things are still happening that might require your presence, if the timeline hasn't changed too much that is."
"If anything is wrong in her timeline, I'll be more than happy to help," Gohan said.
"Same," Cabba added. "Me and Pan can take care of things."
"It would be easy," Pan reassured.
"Alright, I'll get you set up, come with me a second Bulma," Chronoa said, Bulma following after her.
"This is perfect, great for the Time Patrol," Gohan said. "Bulma will help keep everyone safe."
"And hopefully make it easier to track down Towa and Mira," Pan said. "We still owe them for what's happened."
"Yeah, I kind of want a chance at them myself, especially Towa, which means I need to get ready," Gohan said.
"Wanna try that simulation room?" Caulifla suggested, gesturing to the room.
"Oh yeah, sure," Gohan said.
"Great, let's-" Pan noticed an oncoming guest, that being the Hera girl that Chronoa took in. "Hi Zangya!"
Gohan turned to Zangya, the woman turned to see everyone present. Many weren't sure what to say, some didn't know her too well.
"Hey, remember me?" Gohan asked.
The woman rolled her eyes in annoyance, "There are way too many of you here." She walked out the room, leaving everyone confused.
"What's her fucking deal?" Caulifla asked.
"She looks pretty," Kid Pan said.
Pan wasn't sure what to make of this either, so she said the first thing on her mind, "Training Room time!"
Moments later in the training room, Gohan and The Androids stood ready for battle.
"Who do you got for me?" Gohan asked.
Pan turned to Cabba, "Mind if I?"
"Uh, alright," Cabba said, handing over the control.
"Alright Gohan, here's an enemy for you," Pan said, bringing one in. Standing across from Gohan was the leader of the Shadow Dragons, Omega Shenron.
"My, what do we have here?" Omega asked.
"He looks tough," Gohan turned to Pan. "Who is he?"
"Omega Shenron, one of the Seven Shadow Dragons, made from the negative energy caused by wishes on the Dragon Balls," Pan said. "Each wish had a negative consequence, Omega Shenron was actually born from the wish to revive everyone that Frieza killed on Planet Namek."
"So the deadliest of the Dragons was made from a wish involving Frieza huh?" Gohan turned to Omega. "Seems fitting."
"What about us?" Seventeen asked. "Got something for me and Eighteen?"
"Sure do," Pan said, using the remote to summon a very familiar looking enemy, "This, is Super 17."
The Android Twins turned to face the fused Android, needless to say Seventeen himself looked weirded out, "That's suppose to be me?"
Super 17 glanced at his opponents, starting with his other self. "Huh, I forgot how weak I used to look."
"Weak!?" Seventeen looked infuriated.
Super 17 then turned to Eighteen, "Hey sis, gonna try to beat me? Good luck."
"Wow, I didn't think you could be so smug," Eighteen said. "Well not the first time we've fought another version of ourselves, even if it is just you this time."
"Let's do it," Seventeen said.
Gohan powered right into Super Saiyan 2, "Alright Shadow Dragon, let's go!" Gohan lunged in and delivered a punch across Omega's face and immediately blasted him back. Gohan flew in and landed several blows on Omega's torso, surprising the spectators.
"Wow, look at him go!" Cabba cheered.
Omega tried a punch but Gohan ducked and hit the creature with an uppercut, "Nice try!" He then kicked Omega across the head. "Come on, I thought you were tough!"
"You pes!" Omega rushed in to attack but Gohan blocked a punch and kicked him back.
Meanwhile the Androids were double teaming against Super 17, the evil Androids struggling a bit to defeat his opponents.
"Come on, don't tell me I get weaker in this timeline," Seventeen taunted.
"This is too easy," Eighteen said. The two then did a spin kick to his chest and zipped around delivering blow and blow and ending with a double elbow to Super 17's back.
"Wow, they're doing really well!" Kale said.
"Wait to clean house Gohan!" Videl cheered.
Gohan continued to smack around Omega Shenron while The Androids smacked around Super 17. Gohan knocked Omega into the air, then teleported to knock him back down and charged an attack. "Kamehame-HA!"
With a mighty beam sent his way, Omega took the blast head on, and was left on the ground in pain. Meanwhile The Androids had kicked Super 17 down and started raining down ki blasts.
"I really thought he'd be better, or are we just stronger?" Seventeen wondered.
"I think we are," Eighteen said. "Let's end this."
Pan was amazed by what she saw, "Hm, maybe I should raise the difficulty a bit more." She used the control to spike up the power of the villains.
As Gohan flew over to attack Omega again, the villain dashed over and punched Gohan hard across the jaw, knocking the boy back. "Holy crap!"
"Think you're gotten the best of me? I have barely begun to use my full strength!" Omega rushed in for another punch to Gohan's stomach and elbowed him down.
Meanwhile Super 17 activated a barrier and flew up to attack Seventeen with a full body ram and kicked Eighteen aside. "Come on, get serious!"
"Huh, looks like he's stepping up," Seventeen said. "Fine by me, let's stomp on him."
Seventeen flew in with Eighteen on the other side, both trying to overtake him again but he sidestepped both of them and elbowed them away.
"The villains stepped their game up," Bulla commented.
"Hey come on Universe 7, fight harder!" Caulifla cheered.
Gohan was now struggling against Omega, hard as he fought, he had difficulty keeping up, and ended up taking a strong knee to the gut and got knocked aside while Seventeen and Eighteen were knocked into him by Super 17.
"Hey watch it!" Seventeen shouted.
"Don't blame-Watch out!" Gohan tried to warn, moving his friends out the way while Super 17 had flew in and punched Gohan across the jaw.
"Wanna be a hero huh?" Super 17 aimed his fingers. "FLASH BOMBER!"
The evil Android hit Gohan point blank and knocked him to the ground below. Seventeen and Eighteen charged some ki from behind and fired, but Super 17 turned around and absorbed the attack.
"You know didn't Doctor Gero design us so that we didn't have to do that?" Seventeen acknowledged, though before Eighteen could answer, Omega flew in and elbowed them both hard in the back and kicked them down toward Gohan.
"This is getting bad," Cabba worriedly stated.
Omega then charged his ultimate attack, the Minus Energy Power Ball, charging as much ki as he could before sending it down at Gohan and The Androids. The trio quickly stood to push it back, but it proved to be much more difficult than they expected.
"What the hell is this power!?" Seventeen shouted.
"Such dark energy! Is this the power of The Shadow Dragons!?" Gohan said, going Super Saiyan 3 in an attempt to push it back.
"Hahaha, it's futile! Give up!" Omega said.
"I'll help them," Super 17 said, reactivating his attack. "Flash Bomber!"
Now the trio had two attacks to withstand and push back, Gohan nearly reaching his limit, and The Androids nearly at the peak of their power.
"I think it's too much for them!" Cabba said. "Pan, dial it back or turn it off!"
"Uh, right," Pan said, looking down and frantically trying to find the off button. "Uh, where is..."
"At the corner!" Cabba reminded.
"Right, how did I forget that!?" Pan sai, quickly shutting it off, both Omega Shenron and Super 17 disappearing, along with the Minus Energy Power Ball.
Gohan quickly collapsed to the floor, breathing heavily from the ordeal. Seventeen and Eighteen weren't tired but they were very much relieved to be done with that.
"Gohan!" Pan said, running to check on him, the boy powered out completely. "Let's get you to bed."
"R-right," Gohan said as Pan assisted him, hoping to find a nearby room where Gohan could lay down.
Back home in Gohan's timeline, Goku is still seen testing the limits of his Super Saiyan God powers, trying to see just how long he could hold onto it.
"Impressive form Kakarot," came the voice of Vegeta, surprising Goku.
"Oh, Vegeta, it's been a while," Goku said. "Finally done with your space training?"
"I'll never be done, not until I'm the strongest," Vegeta said. "Also, I wasn't in space just to train, need I remind you that Frieza is out there?"
"Don't gotta tell me twice, that's why I'm trying to master this Super Saiyan God form," Goku said.
"How exactly did you reach that level of power?" Vegeta asked.
"A ritual, five other Saiyans transferred their power onto me, and it helped me unlock this potential," Goku said.
"What five Saiyans? The closest we have to Saiyans are our sons," Vegeta said.
"Time travel remember?" Goku said. "My granddaughter helped Gohan, so did some friends of hers."
"Oh right, the boy's time traveling tales," Vegeta said. "Still, getting your power that way, feels like a waste."
"I'm not too proud, but I didn't have a choice," Goku said. "I think it's possible for you to reach this power on your own though."
"That's how I plan to do it," Vegeta said, powering into Super Saiyan. "Now, I want to test this power of yours, prepare yourself Kakarot."
"Oh, a spar?" Goku got into position as well. "This should be fun."
The two began their showdown, Goku showing off the absolute power of a Super Saiyan God.
Meanwhile in the Time Nest, Gohan was seeing laying down in a room with Pan, Kid Pan, Seventeen, Eighteen and Videl surrounding him, trying to recover from the over use of his energy. "Didn't expect that surge of power."
"Same here, those guys got strong out of nowhere," Seventeen said.
"Sorry, that's on me," Pan said. "While trying to give you a decent challenge, I may have put your health in danger."
"Don't worry about it," Seventeen said.
"Yeah, it just shows us just how much more training we need," Eighteen said.
"Pan, is Omega Shenron really that strong?" Gohan asked.
"Well, Grandpa and Vegeta did need to go Super Saiyan 4 just to stand a chance, but they did well when they fused into Gogeta," Pan said.
"Super Saiyan 4," Gohan remembered the form. He looked to his tail, trying to figure things out. "To go Super Saiyan 4, I need the power of the Great Ape, and to do that, I need to control the Great Ape form."
"That's how Grandpa and Vegeta achieved it," Pan said. "Are you going to try to achieve that power?"
"Of course, if I'm gonna be stuck with this tail, I might as well make full use of it," Gohan said. "I wonder if that room could simulate the blutz waves?"
"I can ask," Pan said. "Anyway will you be alright in here?"
"Yeah, I just need a few minutes to get my energy back, I'm not that hurt after all," Gohan said.
"You heard the kid," Seventeen said. "Let's give him some room."
As they started to pour out, Videl stopped a moment, "I'll be right with you. I have something to tell Gohan."
"Make it fast," Eighteen said.
Videl nodded and walked over to Gohan, kneeling beside him. "Hey, I fought Cell in that room."
"You did? Wow. How'd you do?" Gohan asked.
"He mopped the floor with me, but I think it's because the difficulty was too high," Videl said. "It was cool though, I actually faced a dangerous enemy on my own and did pretty well. Got some hits in."
"That's great, I'm glad you're not hurt," Gohan said.
"Those simulations are pretty real, aren't they?" Videl said. "That's some cool tech, imagine all the things you can do with them. Of course the most you can do is fight. But I wonder if you can program personalities? Like see what if a bad guy was actually good?"
"Huh, that would be interesting," Gohan admitted.
"Well, I should leave you to yourself," Videl said. "But, before I go...is there any other type of training you want to do?"
Gohan began to blush, "Uh, Eighteen is right outside, if she sees is then she might flip."
"We'll make it quick, and if anything bet I can make a quick cover," Videl said. "Besides, there is something I want you to do for me."
"Huh? Like what?" Gohan asked.
Videl gestured Gohan to wait and peeked outside the door. No one was nearby, and Eighteen was currently conversing with Kale.
Going back inside, Videl started to pull her pants down, "Remember yesterday, I did that new technique with you?"
"Yeah..." Gohan said, then was greeted with a face first view of Videl's private regions.
"Return the favor, but make it quick," Videl said. "You want to be able to do this with Eighteen don't you? Get that practice in, girls love this technique."
"I'll do my best," Gohan said. "I don't know what to do exactly though."
"Use your tongue," Videl said. "Pretend it's Eighteen and treat it like an ice cream cone."
"So you want me to imagine two things?" Gohan asked.
"Just shut the fuck up and lick me," Videl said. Without wasting any more time, Gohan did his best, tracing his tongue across Videl's flower. It tasted much better than he expected and he continued to lick, Videl moaning in pleasure.
"Don't take too long, stick it in if you have to, treat it like a race, it's easier if you find the sweet spot," Videl said.
Gohan wasn't sure what that meant, but he figured to try harder, really getting in there, Videl panting in pleasure.
"Great work, keep it up," Videl urged.
Meanwhile outside, Bulma had approached Eighteen, "Hey where's Gohan?"
"In the other room, he's resting after some intense training," Eighteen said, gesturing to the door. "Videl should be there, probably bragging to Gohan about something. Tell her to hurry up."
"Sure thing," Bulma said, making her way to the door. She lightly knocked, "Gohan? Videl?" She heard some panting and gasping, it sounded very pleasurable.
"Oh Gohan...you're so good," Videl was heard saying.
Bulma knew what was happening, Gohan mentioned a girl was helping him with certain things. Peeking inside, he saw Videl sitting in a way where Gohan had access to her vagina, the boy likely licking and doing great.
"Hm...not bad," Bulma said. She waited outside a few minutes and let Videl have her fun. Eventually the girl had her orgasm, Bulma wondering if she got Gohan all over his face. Seconds later she was seen leaving with a big relieved smile on her face. "Hey Videl."
"Huh?" Videl turned to Bulma. "Oh, hey Bulma. Were you out here long?"
"Not really, I just wanted to check on Gohan quickly, I heard he's a bit beat up," Bulma said.
"Yeah, took a beating before, handled it super well," Videl said. "You can go see him if you want, uh but if it smells weird in there, it's probably some pain medicine, nothing to make note of."
"Interesting, well thanks for that heads up," Bulma said, Videl relieved she believed her. Of course Bulma knew she was making that up but she would let her have her little deception.
Bulma made her way into the room, where Gohan seemed to be pretty happy himself. The boy noticed his friend enter, "Hey Bulma, what's up?" Bulma did not answer, she just closed the door behind them, seductively eyeing the boy. "Uh, Bulma?"
"Sounds like you and VIdel were having a little fun in here," Bulma said with a wink, Gohan getting a bit nervous.
"Uh, fun? What fun?" Gohan said, hoping to derail Bulma's suspicions.
"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone, if you do something for me," Bulma said. She knelt beside him, pulling off her shirt. "Videl's cute, but she's a little on the flat side." Bulma exposed her breasts to Gohan, the boy blushing immensely. "And you seemed fond of these yesterday. I know I said 'no' before but considering just how 'experienced' you seem to be, I'll let you have a little fun here. Eighteen has a nice set of boobs herself, you're gonna need to know how to properly fondle and care for them."
"Uh, alright," Gohan said.
"We'll make this quick, Eighteen really wants you to rest up after all," Bulma said, pressing her breasts against Gohan. "But it will be fun."
"Yeah, fun..." Gohan said, slowly grasping onto them. "They feel nice."
"Good to know, now start massaging," Bulma requested, Gohan complying with her orders.
Outside, Eighteen is seen resting against a wall, but all the while something nagging at her. "Why do I have the feeling something's going on?"
"Yo sis! Check out this ride I just borrowed!" Seventeen called from outside.
"Borrowed!?" Eighteen looked out to see Seventeen recklessly driving a car with it's own chasing after him. "Dammit! Seventeen give him his car back!"
More training needed to be done by Gohan, both to get stronger and to further pursue his romance. But of course, he wasn't the only one with romance on the mind, for Pan herself continued to long for her friend, and hoped one day Cabba could be all hers.
