Chapter 17: Aftermath

A month has passed since the 32nd World Martial Tournament and Pan was just flying around the world to past her previous record she did with her father. She wanted to continue her race to improve her speed. She was happy to win the tournament, but she was surprised to see her favorite grandpa in the crowd. She knew she saw him. She knew he was there smiling at her for her victory. If only he was still there so she could wrap her arms around him and say she did it for him.

But it did help her know that her grandfather was watching her. She was at least happy to know Goku have seen her victory and she must know that it was him who motivates her to be a greater fighter. At least she knows he's watching her and everyone in the Z Fighters.

Pan finally made her way back home after flying around the Earth for two minutes in ten laps and now she wants to see her friends. She descend to the floor with a small green track suit that her father made her wear. She personally didn't like it, but her gi was being washed. The daughter of Gohan enters her home and quickly changes to a red T-shirt, blue jeans, black fingerless gloves, and black boots with her bandanna on her head. Videl and Gohan were at work for Saturday, so she could go to Kami's House.

Trunks and Bra was with their parents either helping Capsule Corporation with their mother or training with their father. After the tournament, Bulla was mostly training in the gravity room if she's not hanging out with her friends. For Trunks, he's helping Bulma trying to come up with new inventions and doing business practice with other company. On his spare time, he uses the gravity room to improve his strength and skills so he can be strong to protect his family and the world.

She knows that they are always busy because they are the Briefs, so she decides to fly out and head to her destination. As she was fling away, there she saw her uncle Goten with his girlfriend Valese sitting in a ferris wheel. Goten begin to train more, but only on weekends. He has to deal with working as a Stock Clerk in warehouses and he almost got fired when he was getting food in the warehouse. Pan decides to wave at her uncle from above, and the pair look up and wave back with a smile. They look cute together, and she knows that her uncle might proposal to Valese soon.

Meanwhile, in Kami's House, Krillin, Android 18, and Lee's grandmother were in the house enjoying a nice of fish while they watch Uub, Marron and Lee sparring at the shore. The adults were entertained to see the young fighters given everything they got. Lee then went back to shoot several ki blast at Marron and Uub. The two quickly avoid the ki blasts as they begin to shoot their own. Lee quickly starts to hit the incoming blast away to the sea before he blocked two kicks from Marron and Uub.

"Nice reflex Lee," said Marron before she kick Lee down to the floor.

Lee landed on the sand hard, but he jump back up to punch Marron on the stomach. She grunted in pain before jumping up in the sky and forms a large ki blast. Uub and Lee quickly throw a small ki blast to push the large ki off of Marron's hands.

"Hey! I was going to use that!" she shouted before Uub and Lee begin to fight like they did in the tournament.

The two were blocking and hitting each other before they clash their fists with their faces on the same time. Marron then begins to form a ki attack. She shoots a yellow beam heading toward the two fighters, but it went above them and breaks apart. Uub and Lee quickly look up to see small ki blast falling towards them. They begin to move away from the blast before two other ki blast charges at them. Uub was fast enough to dodge it as it went to the sea, but Lee was fast enough as the ki blast hit him. He was launched back, but he stood his ground.

He holds his stomach before he begins to form his extra arms. He then begins to shoot many ki blasts with his four palms at Marron and Uub. The two fighters then start to hit the ki blast away as they were strong enough to knock off them off. Before they could see what was coming for them, Lee knee both of them on the stomach and then shoot a ki blast from each palm at them.

They were launch back before Lee then uses his third eye to shoot a small ki beam. The beam went towards the two and it explodes in contact. Lee was breathing heavily to see smoke covering the sight where Uub and Marron are at. He watches the smoke clear off and Uub and Marron were still standing with their gi burned and torn a bit.

"Wow, that was impressive Lee," Uub said as the fighters approach each other and high five each other. "You have improved so well. You can have the same level as Marron."

"Hey he's not going to beat me that easily, but I'll be thrilled to face you again," said Marron as the three laughs at their little friendly rivalry.

Krillin chuckled seeing how the three are getting along as their own sparring partners. He then looks up in the sky to sense someone familiar was coming.

"Hey Pan is coming," Krillin said loudly in the house as everyone see the girl descend to the shore.

Pan smile to see Marron, Uub, and Lee with their gi torn and burn from their spar. The three decide if they want to be stronger, Uub was going to train them. Marron just does it for fun, but for Lee he wanted to improve his skills and abilities just so he could be the greatest fighter out there. Even his grandma was impressed how Uub is trying her grandson.

"Hey Pan!" said the trio as the granddaughter of Hercule Satan and Son Goku approach them while waving at them.

"Hey there, I see you guys have been busy," said Pan.

"Yeah, we were doing a triple fight between the three, and I could tell that Marron and Lee are growing stronger than before," said Uub smiling at the two fighters he was training with.

"Hey I 'm going to wipe the floor out for you when do become strong like my mom and dad,' said Marron with a confident smile.

"Now come on, I'm also here too," mentioned Lee. "I want to become strong like you guys."

Pan smile at the three fighters and friends. Since Lee and his grandmother move in Kami's House with Krillin and Android 18, Lee manage to train with Marron if Marron felt like it and he would go up to Kami's lookout to trained with Uub in the time chamber. Pan has trained with Uub once in the time chamber, but she has never seen Lee in a sparring match or she has ever faced him.

"Well it sounds like you guys are having fun," said Pan as she watch the three fighters chuckle at the truth.

As the young fighters were in the shore looking at the sea they notice two figures flying towards the small land. They look closely to see two people flying in the air. Krillin exit from the house and walk towards the younger fighters and begin to wave at the two incoming people.

"Hey Tien and Chiaotzu!" Krillin exclaimed as the two Z Fighters descend to the ground.

Lee was amazed to see the new arrival, one of which looks like an excellent fighter. The tall man has green gi bottoms, a green gi too that only wrap around one of his muscular shoulders. But one thing Lee was also amazed to see was the third eye on his forehead. The third that he thought he was the only one who has it. This was a surprise before he decides to continue looking at him and the smaller person next to him.

"Hi Tien and Chiaotzu!" all the young fighters except for Lee said.

"Hey guys, it's nice to see you getting strong," said Tien with a smile on his face.

"Wow, you guys have really grown up," said Chiaotzu while he looks up at their tall height.

"Man you guys should have come in the tournament! They really give everything they got!" Krillin mentioned with a smile on his face.

Tien smile to see the kids from his friends train to be the next defenders of Earth. He realizes how much potential they have to be stronger than any of the old Z Fighters except for Vegeta and Goku. Android 18 and Lee's grandmother came out of the house to see the new visitors. Lee's grandmother took one look at them to be shock of the warriors. Tien and Chiaotzu look at the two women to see one of them look older yet somewhat familiar.

"Hey you, you look familiar," said Time as the rest of the group now looks at Lee's grandmother.

"I-I know you two. You were the best students in the Crane school. I'm Yumi Keno, and I want to introduce you to someone special."

Lee look at his grandmother as she approach and Chiaotzu watch the elder woman approach to the group of the younger fights and brought out Lee. Lee look at the two former Crane students as they look at him back with such equal surprise. Tien was surprise to see a younger triclop in front of him.

"Hi little guy, what's your name?" asked Tien as he knee down to Lee.

"I'm Lee," he responds in awe.

"Lee, that's a nice name. I'm Tien and this is my good friend Chiaotzu."

"Hi!" said Chiaotzu as he floated in front of Lee. "It's nice to me you!"

"It's nice to meet you too," said Lee as he shakes Chiaotzu's hand.

The group smile to see Lee happily meeting Tien and Chiaotzu. Yumi smile at how happy Lee was. She was very happy to take care of Lee in his youth to now and now she was fortunate enough to see the former students of the Crane living happily with the people she and Lee have been with for a month.

"Alright let's get back inside so we can have a good meal," said Krillin as the group enters the house.

They enter the house and had a large feast. Everyone was eating varieties of food to make almost everyone full. They talk, they laugh, and they had a great time. Even after the meal, Tien brought a volleyball and play a game. Pan, Marron, and Uub as one team while Tien, Lee, and Chiaotzu as another team. The rest watched as the volleyball game starts and they were a great time to have people around. And somewhere in the other world Goku is watching them and he's happy to see everyone having a good time.
