Authors notes: Something I should have addressed prior to the prologue is that this, for those who don't know, is a long overdue fan fiction that is basically a revamp of a (very poorly drawn) fan comic I started several years ago in which I attempted to remake DBGT. Given the fact that I got older and busier, I couldn't really keep up with it, and I was also starting to wish I'd done some things (more like a lot of things) better, so I decided to eventually discontinue it and remake it as a fan fiction.

Like I said in the description, check out Moopoopower on DeviantArt for related artworks and character bios, as well as the original comic I made and just general artworks by me.

In this story, I'm going to attempt to pay more attention to characters that GT (and even some of Z) ignored (such as human characters) I'm going to try and make newer characters like Pan, Uub and Bra live up to their potentials as characters and I'm going to avoid putting the focus purely on Goku and his power. I'm also including a few OC's and changing up a few personalities for characters from GT like Valise that were exclusive to that series and characters that appeared little in Z, such as Pan. I will admit, that I don't know if this will turn out better than GT like I hope, but I am certainly hoping that it will and I am going to really try with it to make it an enjoyable fan fiction.

I don't own Dragonball, Dragonball Z or Dragonball GT.

Six Years Later

In the uninhabited mountain lands located several hundred kilometres East of Uub's village, a now sixteen year old Uub faces off against his mentor, Goku. In order to test both Uub's power and how well he could control it, Goku had decided to take the boy on in a very intense sparring match. He wasn't necessarily expecting him to win, but even if Uub lost, if he could focus his energy into effective defensive and offensive moves instead of allowing himself to become consumed by his power out of fear and frustration, causing not much more than mindless destruction, Goku knew his job training this young boy would be well paid off.

The fight had begun with Goku fighting as his regular self, but as it progressed, he found himself having to power up to his super saiyan level in order to keep his lead over his pupil.

As the two continued to spar at ground level, Uub was beginning to feel fatigued and presumed that it must have be showing in his movements as he was beginning to slow down. Realising this, he suddenly sprung back a few meters from his mentor and started to focus a large amount of energy to his hands as quickly as he could to form an attack in the hope of taking Goku off guard and gaining the upper hand. Goku, however, was too quick. Recognising the all too familiar gesture and growing ball of energy, Goku quickly mimicked it and formed a Kamehameha of his own to counter it.

As the two waves collided, pushing the fighters further away from one another, the ground and mountains beneath began to crack and crumble away and the further scenery became illuminated in the glow of their energy beams.

They remained interlocked for several minutes before Uub began to feel himself weaken, allowing Goku's Kamehameha to push further towards him. Uub knew he was losing but he had to keep control of his power. Closing his eyes, he began to focus his energy more and more until he was able to unleash a greater power that wasn't completely out of his control. He just had to remember what he was taught.

Goku could hear Uub letting out a loud scream, attempting to power up further. He could recognise the technique and proceeded to smirk slightly after he managed to get a glimpse of the the red aura emitting from Uub's body in the not so far distance.

"KAIOKEN!" Uub screamed as his body became engulfed in red.

Still locked in the Kamehameha, Uub was no longer losing; in fact the sudden burst of energy seemed to be pushing Uub's wave further than Goku's. As this battle continued however, unfortunately for Uub, Goku managed to regain the upper hand as he got use to Uub's power rather quickly.

Realising that his mentor was once again, gaining the upper hand, Uub increased the level of his kaioken to times two, then to times three, but unfortunately for him, Goku also increased his power by ascending in to his second super saiyan state.

It was lunch time at Satan City Primary School and a group of 10 to 12 year old children were talking amongst themselves, but anyone close enough by could easily tell that the smallest of them was not a part of the apparent friendship group, instead being their target to harass.

Pan Son stared at her feet as to avoid the gaze of the groups ring leader. It was a boy from her class; Daifuku. He and his friends, a combination of kids from other classes, like usual, were mocking her because of her 'un-girly' interests. Yes, they may have all been aware of her involvement in martial arts and they knew she was strong; but every child in that group remained blissfully unaware of what she was truly capable of with her saiyan heritage.

"Why do you always do boys stuff? You know you're a GIRL right? You're only supposed to do girl things not fight or play video games!" Daifuku continued to lamely insult her with his pitiful attempt at sarcasm.

"Sometimes I'm not sure what she is," added a female voice.

"She- sorry IT'S just a freak," added another boys voice, now looking in her direction, "Maybe if you acted like a normal girl, people would want to be nicer to you. You're just like that loser Takeshi you hang out with!"

Pan's brow twitched at the mention of one of the few friends she had her own age.

"A boy who thinks he's a girl and a girl who thinks she's a boy!" Daifuku laughed, "Maybe they should date!"

The kids all laughed as Pan continued to stare irritably at her feet. She wanted to fly off but she didn't want to give anyone around another reason to think she was weird, and walking away was pointless as they'd just follow her.

The girl that spoke previously approached her.

"Seriously though, you'll never get a boyfriend if you don't start acting like a normal girl. Boys hate it when girls-"

She was cut off as a dirt clod that had been thrown hit the side of her head.

"It's not a girls job to cater to what boys like," a feminine sounding voice lectured the group as the owner of it approached, " just as it's not your job to assume what all boys like, and being in a relationship isn't something that everyone wants in life, especially not a bunch of school kids!"

As the girl, her brown locks now decorated with grey-brown dirt particles, turned to abuse the person who messed up her hair, she froze as she saw Bra Brief approaching.

Uub slowly opened his eyes to see the blue of the sky being tainted with a few thin, white clouds.

"Oh good, I was worried I overdid it and knocked you out!" Laughed the familiar voice of his mentor amidst a relieved sigh.

Pushing himself to sit, Uub found himself facing Goku.

"Damn," Uub let out a soft laugh as he stood, "I thought I had you for a second."

"So did I. Either way, you did really well Uub!"

"You really think so?"

"Yeah; in fact, I think it's about time for our official training to end."

Goku continued to smile after his words, spoken so nonchalantly. Uub just stared, taking in what he had just been told. Was Goku for real? Did he really think Uub was strong and composed enough to be left to train himself?

"Are you serious Goku?..."

"Yeah. I mean, you may not have won that fight, but I could definitely tell how much stronger and more in control of your power you had become since the last time we fought like this. Honestly, I think you should be just fine on your own now."

Uub's stunned face began to turn into a huge, slightly teary smile.

"Well done Uub!"

Goku was interrupted by a small but strong pair of arms wrapping around his midsection.

"Thank you Goku! It's all thanks to you that I got this good!"

Goku let out a kind laugh as he rested a hand on his students head. "Hey, it wasn't just me you know. You were putting in a lot of hard work to make yourself a stronger person, and helping you also helped me become stronger to, so I should thank you as well."

Uub pulled away, a little embarrassed about his sudden outburst of emotion but not regretful.

"You just have to remember to keep training hard when I'm gone!"

"Of course," Uub responded enthusiastically.

"I'm so bored!" Sighed a lavender haired man from behind his work desk.

"Hey, at least in you're a high position man," retorted another young man, this one with spiky black hair.

"Goten, why are you even in my office anyway? Shouldn't you be working?"

"I'm on my lunch break, and what better way to spend it than entertaining my best friend while he works!"

"Late lunch break, it's nearly 3. Anyway, you should be spending it with Valise in you guys' dojo…"

"Oh don't be like that! She's not in today anyway, so it's just me and this little monkey."

Goten playfully poked the belly of the giggling baby sitting in his lap.

"Why did I not notice her until now?" Trunks sighed, "ugh, this paper work really is exhausting my brain."

"How could you not notice Sammi?" The baby in question made a series of playful sounds in response.

"Clearly I'm not in the mood to pay attention to my surroundings right now…"

"Why don't you take a break and help me demonstrate some stuff for my afternoon class when I go back?"

"I suppose I could. Anything to get away from this stuff for a little while."

"I thought you wanted to be involved in the family business."

"I did, but that doesn't mean I enjoy every aspect of working for Capsule Corp."

Suddenly, a foul smell caught the young men's nostrils. Both of their heads turned to Sammi, who smiled amusedly at them in response.

"So I'm just going to leave Sammi hear while I go to the vending machine and-"

"DON'T YOU DARE!" Trunks warned.

"Thanks for helping me out…" Pan spoke a little shyly as she walked.

"Didn't have much of a choice," responded Bra, walking beside her, "you looked like you were about to murder them."

"I wasn't…"

"Good! Because no matter what someone does, violence is-"

"Never acceptable against a defenceless opponent, I know I know. You sound like my dad, which is weird considering who your dad is…"

"Well my dad more so sees weak opponents as not worthy of his attention, but same thing, kind of…"

Pan laughed.

"Anyway, why don't you just tell those kids that Mr. Satan is your grandfather? They'd back off if they knew you were the 'world champs' granddaughter."

"I don't know… It just doesn't feel right to use my family to make people like me…"

"It's not about making people like you Pan, I'm just saying, it'll keep them off your back. Popular for things like that or not, if you know how to tell who your real friends are, I don't think there's anything to really worry about. "

"I suppose… I guess that explains why people are so scarred of you," Pan joked, "given how powerful your family is."

"Hey, they're scarred of me because I'm a strong fighter. And my intelligence, confidence and feminine charm just add to the intimidation I emit!"

Both girls laughed a little, but not as to completely refute Bra's last comment. She certainly was Bulma and Vegeta's child.

"Anyway," continued Bra, "you should at least learn to stand up for yourself if you can't ignore what people say and do to you. Getting physical and being mean like them aren't the only options you know. Anyway, I should hurry home; I'm supposed to be training with my dad."

They waved each other goodbye as Bra flew off into the distance towards Capsule Corp.

Pan decided to walk a little more before taking off home to do her homework and get ready for her evening training session with Piccolo. She supposed Bra was right, but Pan just didn't know how to stand up for herself like that. Maybe for the time being she could just try ignoring them as Piccolo recommended when she briefed her bully situation with him.

Just as with most afternoons, Vegeta was training in his gravity room.

Recent years had been peaceful, but that did not stop the saiyan warrior from continuing to put his body and mind through intense training on a regular basis. Friends and family, little as he would like to admit, had managed to give him a soft spot over the years, but that wouldn't impact upon the development of his strength, in fact there were some occasions in which having loved ones helped to push his ambitions. The whole idea of 'having something to fight for' seemed laughable to him in his younger days prior to making a life on earth; he'd never have imagined back then that it was something that he'd come to understand.

Now, he was attempting to push himself into reaching his most recent goal; achieving and maintaining the third level of super saiyan.

Ever since he'd managed to momentarily go into a super saiyan three state two years ago, he was determined to do it again, but since that one incident, he had not been able to reach his goal. Vegeta was fairly certain he knew why though. What he used to push himself into that state was something that even he refused to do again.

It was while on the verge of reaching that state that Vegeta, desperate to reach such a close goal, imagined, as vividly as possible, himself in the most devastating and enraging position he could ever be in. He mentally put himself in a situation where he was being forced to watch Bulma, Trunks and Bra being tortured and killed before his very eyes.

His lover and his children; all bleeding, bruised, bones broken, skin torn, limbs severed; all of these images he made as real as possible in his mind. He'd never spoken a word of it to anyone and probably never would. The thoughts he had made even him feel ashamed and disgusted to the point where he could only keep the mental scene for a few seconds before dismissing them and losing his new found power and passing out from the mental and physical stress.

Pushing the memory aside, he scoffed at himself and put his focus back on his workout. He had a feeling he'd need to be in top notch to prove himself soon.

Night had set in and Goku, Uub and his family were beginning dinner in the medium sized family hut. It was the younger two siblings turn to prepare dinner that night, and they made sure to make plenty of food to compensate for Goku's appetite.

The young cooks, one a young girl and the other a slightly older boy, looked at Goku, seeking approval, as he scoffed down his first bowel of curry and rice. As he quickly finished, Goku noticed their stares.

"This food is great!" he complimented honestly as he reached to refill his bowel, "you two did a great job."

The kids smiled at each other in response.

"That's very good to hear," began Uub's mother from across the small dinner table "as this will be your last meal with us before going back home I hear."

Uub's mother was a fairly small middle aged woman who Uub's facial features resembled. She was a rather rambunctious woman but also very kind and welcoming.

"Yeah that's right" Goku responded enthusiastically, "Uub's done really well in his training and can pretty well train himself now."

"We're very grateful to you Goku," Commented Uub's more serious father, an average sized middle aged man with small eyes and a similar hair style to Uub.

"Ah don't mention it. It was great to train your son!"

Goku noticed the sad looks on the faces of Uub's younger brothers and sister.

"Hey, don't worry guys! I'll come and visit you heaps, since I know instant transmission, it'll be easy!"

The kids perked up a little.

"And you know, Uub might need some sparring partners! You guys can help him out from time to time, since I taught you all a bit of stuff to."

"Make sure you all gang up on him!" Uub's grandmother, who was also present, added, making the kids laugh.

"Hey wait Goku!" the eldest of Uub's younger brothers spoke up suddenly, "If you know how to travel places so quickly with instant transmission, why didn't you visit your family and friends more!"

"I really wanted to," responded Goku, "but I knew if I did, I'd get caught up spending time with them and lose focus on training Uub. But now that I can see how much he's improved, I can trust that he'll be fine without me keeping watch all the time."

Uub looked a little guilty, which Goku quickly noticed.

"But hey! It was my actions that gave you that power in the first place Uub, so it was my responsibility to help you master it."

"And you did well in doing so," Uub's grandmother commented again, "which reminds me, I have a gift for you to give to your deer wife and the rest of your family as gratitude for being kept from you for so long. I'll give it to you before you leave in the morning."

"Wow, really? You didn't have to do that, but thank you."

"It's no trouble; and given how long you've been away, showing up with gifts might lighten your punishment for being away for so long."

The kids all let out a brief laugh.

Goku scratched the back of his head, giving a sheepish grin.

"I can't say I'd blame her if she's mad. I have been gone for a while… again…"

"Well, you were doing something good, so I'm sure she'll come around," Uub's mother reassured.

"I sure hope so… I do put that wife of mine through a lot of stress…"
