Chapter Five: A Royal Reappearance

For fourteen suns or seven years Vegeta departed to the familiar redden land and saiyan training commence immediately. The warrior race quickly adapted to the changes in time and strength of all universal beings while their mental state grew powerful as their physical form, forbidding history to ever repeat. The brutality of the Saiyans expanded to new heights but all for the sake of betterment while new laws was casted over the lands, crimpling the idea of death amongst fellow saiyans, especially during training.

Vegeta made it transparent to all, bringing Broly to his knees before crowds that growth will only occur through togetherness. Technology and healing equipment also evolved to facilitate the power of the legend and beyond as Super Saiyan was no longer a myth. A tale of a saiyan so strong became realistic goals then memories as they surged beyond.

—And after Vegeta's tail regrew an ancient ceremony was pending to occur at the Royal Palace. The crowning of the new King awaits to be untaken but Vegeta lack something very important or better yet, someone, a Queen but he never pursue amongst the vast expanse of unmated female pure breeds. Vegeta only gain company of revival strengths from both genders while experiencing more of the saiyan race than he did decades prior. The crown was no longer a goal or was a mate, leaving King Vegeta baffled but as this planet made revolutions, the people multiply, celebrations partake and the ancient race transfigure before the eyes of the gods, whom watched them closely; their second chance wasn't abused nor wasted.

Earth's protectors didn't remain quiet or weak either. Pairs were formed, machinery constructed and even weaponry became a new addition for some as their ki energy mushroomed both unknowingly to the both parties. An interspecies grouping uptake the position of Earth's true protectors for the sake of the blue planet cover with water and blooming with life of all kinds.

So as fist clash and the air bursted with sound of limitless power, it was never expected that Earth would ever be invaded by Saiyans again especially after years of peace and lack of any pure breeds.

But they did, and this time they were Earth's saviours...

Present time— 7 seven years into the future

Capsule Corporation awaken as West City was blanketed by a starless night. The luminousity of the moon peaking behind rolls of blacken clouds, obscuring the beauty of sky. Wind quicken it's pace over the errie setting landscape shuffling through the vegetation in a cold breath as silhouettes moved through the limited amount of light, rattling small organism back into safety.

The two beings crep around the massive structure of Capsule Corporation, a multimillionaire company dead center of the city of lights, money and technology. Voices are various pitch but all containing joy filtered from the spacious backyard as the unknowing invaders with surpressed ki— almost camouflaging the possibility of pinpointing a specific reading as they dashed through the compound. Pausing, they couch lowly observing the gathering from afar: from the large mounts of food to the difference in each specie and the mere interaction all pretentious, almost resembling a family.

The younger man mouth hung in childish awe spilt secondly before an sensation overcome him once again and his orbs flicked electric pink.

"What's the next step?"

Shaking his head, the older of the two stood in all his glory as unheard of ki consumed his body in a blink of an eye then vanish. The man turned, with now stoney black iris, clenched fists and a voice quoted with evil usually voided from his being completely.

"We kill them all."

But before they could take their first step towards the group, possibly leaving death and destruction in their wake, the pairing was interrupted by a voice from their backside.

"You two don't belong."

Swiftly turning the younger man held an glowing pink orb to the face of the voice, then bubbled with laughter upon seeing a child— a little girl. Silky black hair was pulled tightly at the base of her neck with a few flyaways framing her perceived innocent face. Encased in a ruffled orange and blue gi with white boots and tattered gloves, the little girl held a platter of food with both hands, unmoved my the dangerous power before her. Chuckling, the orb dissolve as the young man bend to her level, his chocolate complexion coming into view with lighter brown orbs— almost honey colour and spoke,

"Run along little girl before we kill you," patting her head the man retreated in surprised as the girl's body immediately enclosed in the distinctive hue of the a Super Saiyan but her eyes remained black— she wasn't at the legendary level yet.

"Leave," was all she utter.

Noticing the Saiyan royalty symbol dangling from the little girl's neck, the older man dash from behind his student, snatching the child up by her fragile neck while the patter of food fell to the trimmed lawn with a clang. Shaking the kid, the man's eyes held unmistakable ki of a possessed person or a man consumed by the strength he once craved. Then Goku turned to Uub spoke for the first time,

"Kill her or I will."

Pan's eyes harden unknowingly staring into at her second grandfather for the first time. Shooting a ki blast at his distracted face that was strong enough for Goku's grip to loosen and she dropped into a battle stance instantaneously. With a turned head, Goku now teal eyes gained the attention of his student as he gentle wiped his face and cracked a crazed smile,

"Too late."

Faster than Pan's slightly trained eyes or senses could read, Goku was before her in Super Saiyan three as so was a fist to her face, throwing her timid figure across the front lawn in a burst of crackling sound, gaining everyone's attention. Capturing the fight within a pink dome, Uub smirked at the Z-fighters shocked expressions then panic, noticing grandfather against granddaughter.

"Pan!" Gohan fist slammed the dome, shaking the land beneath as Uub merely took a seat, eating Pan's forgotten food while watching both the fight and Earth's protectors behaviour. A furious combination of ki blasts rock outter walls of the dome as Goku smacked Pan to the ground but the girl stood immediately, increase her strength and released a ki beam from afar, connecting with Uub stupid face and he steamed in anger.

Giggling, Pan nearly avoided Goku's attack, flipping over outstretched arm and finally came into contact with the older man with a scorching fist, pushing Goku back. Distancing herself, Pan fell gracefully back into her fighting stance taking a well needed deep breath, still in false super saiyan mode.

"You think you're all powerful by somewhat holding your own?" Goku's unsuspected question distracted the youngest hybrid enough for Uub to reduce the distance between him and her, slamming Pan into the walls of the dome and she screamed as the inner walls electrified. The skin burn as Uub applied pressure on her face against the dome— right before her parents and everyone else.

"Why are you doing this?!" Piccolo ruff voice came from the mist of the large group as Pan's screams grew and the glow evaded her person. Finally, Goku approached the group with a smile that mirrored his old self— and raise a hand, he signal for Uub to pause. Tears streamed from Pan's burnt face, adding to the young girl's pain.

"Goku..." ChiChi turned away teary eyed from her husband unseen for years. Gently Bulma patted the younger woman's back while keeping a brave face as to her, it seems history had repeated itself but now, it's reverse. Noticing the interaction, Goku remained silent until Uub dropped Pan to the floor and the sound retrieve him from the realm of his mind.

Scoffing, Goku spoke to the group in the first time in a decade, "I want her dead."

That's all it took for Gohan, Trunks, Goten, Piccolo, Android 17 and 18, Marron, Bulla and all the trained earthlings to power up to their full strength and blast against the dome while ChiChi, Bulma, Puar and Oolong ran for safety. The world seem to shook at the magnitude and spectrum of lights that eclasped Capsule Corporation catching humans attention, whom just shrugged and walked away uncaringly.

—And through the drapes of smoke, in hope that below was a scenery of destruction and possible help for Pan, the Z-fighters heard was Goku's taunting voice that said, "How foolish."

Then, as the wind transported the clouds of smoke in perfect timing for the Z-fighters to see Pan's last attempt to instant transmit outside the dome, only for her damage frame to come into contact with the walls upon exiting and the girl shouted in seemingly endless agony. Falling on her face, Pan's breath waver as she coughed up blood in attempt to clear her lungs in dire need of oxygen.

Uub tsked, "Silly girl, no one can enter or escape here. It's more than a dome, it's like my personal dimensions," turning to the crowd he cracked a smile, "Pretty cool huh?"

Their face scourer in response.

Pointing at Bulla, Uub boldly sent a wink her way, "Don't do that to your gorgeous face, baby." Pushing his mate behind, Goten teal eyes harden at the man while simultaneously spiking his ki, daring him to continue,

"The moment you stop this cowardly way of fighting, I'm going to end you."

"May the best man win." Uub mockingly bowed to further taunt the hot headed saiyan but noticed calm blue eyes starring in his direction, and before the young man turned to continue on his path of destruction he mouthed to Marron, 'you'll be mine'. The half-andriod merely rolled her eyes in disgust.

Whistling, Uub trekked towards a fallen Pan still taking deep breaths. Kicking over her broken frame, he kneeled, "I told you to run away kid, look at you now," faking sympathy, Uub stood then spoke in a sing-song voice, "Oh well, die now. It was fun."

Gohan could only absorb the sight, shaking in a mixture fury and fear. His beautiful daughter tortured and beaten by his own father and student— the oldest hybrid couldn't expressed the way he felt at the point in time but surely wanted a miracle.

Goku then lifted Pan by her worn out gi and stared in Gohan's direction, "Pathetic. You're not even going to try to save her?" Goku tsked, "Some father you are."

Gohan gapped in pure shock before his eyes concreted and aiming to truly stated just feels about his father but Pan did it for him. Gaining enough strength, Pan patted Goku's face with a bloody palm and as he looked down at the child, to only see a finger. More specifically, the middle one.

And with one open eye and a lopsided smile, Pan spit a mouth of blood in Goku's face.

"Atta girl," amusement decorated Andriod 17 face, this girl posses an inexhaustible flame. On the next side also floating, Videl snorted, her daughter obviously has exactly what Goku lacks.

"I taught you well," Bulla said as a smirk washed over her worried features. Pan was truly something else but when Goten squeezed her palm, it communicated non-vebally that this won't end well. Grasping the necklace, her fingers brushed over the complex symbols meaning Princess, wondering where her father was at a moment like this.

Glancing back at the situation, Goku's eyes told her death was upon us, as he threw Pan's light frame into the higher walls of the dome, watching sadistically as the electricity attacked her for the last time. Crouching, he charged up a kamehameha blast— and as Pan fell unconsciously from above the beam was released from Goku's cupped palms speeding in her direction.

In one final attempt, the Z-fighters attacked the dome with all their might but it was all in vain. Their desperate cries fell upon deaf ears as Goku spoke with a blank face,

"Farewell... granddaughter."

BOOM!

Upon explosion tears downcasted Gohan and Videl's face and as well as others. Pan's ki signature completely disappeared causing the final breaking of Gohan. Rivers of tears layered his features as his body enclosed in the mystic form and he cried openly for her; his only child. He cried for Pan and for not being a good father, unable to save her.

"So sad," Uub wipe a false tear observing the scenery, "She should've listen."

Goku just stood to full height, dusting his hand over his traditional gi and server the group's distraught emotions. His plan was ingenious but executed simply, "This was too easy, I expected more."

Trunks slammed his palms against the door gaining his attention, "She was a child! why Goku, why would you kill your own granddaughter?!"

Then as the dust cleared once more, a voice spoke instead of Goku's but the crowds reactions copied those they usual did for him. Quietly, the figure emerge holding an unconscious Pan close gently wiping away the blood off her face. He paused openly glaring at his past revival with ablazed orbs,

"I never thought this day would come, the day I'll end you...Kakarot."

Vegeta merely raise his gloved hand and folded his fist. It was from way above the battle cry of King Vegeta was heard leading a group of choosen warriors to attack.

And together they all shouted,

"FOR VEGETA!"
