Good morning, afternoon, or night. I am sorry about my lack of writing and updating; it's just that I am rather busy and all. I decided to make a fanfic crossover with DBZ on this manga called Freezing, I read it a long time ago, but I stopped reading it after how the author foolishly handled the situation with the main heroine named Satellizer L. Bridget because of what a character did to her and how he and another character who is just as responsible pretty much got away with their actions towards her.

Even after the experience: she had during a certain arc with one of her tormenters in the series. Satellizer should have been much worse from that experience yet for some ridiculous reason, she turned out fine and was cured of her trauma in the new arc I decided to read years later after the cancellation or hiatus of the series.

Personally, I find it very insulting, unrealistic, and even offensive to those who deal with or have gone through abuse and trauma from their past to those responsible (I know I don't speak for them as a whole, but it was absurd either way).

Besides, the anime version I found out about made it worse for me. So, I decided to make this fanfic, and I also want to give this series the respect it deserved before I lost it in the Bali arc. It would have been more memorable if it wasn't for the terrible writing, even if it had been canceled or on a hiatus.

Not to mention there is another character who also suffered inhumane treatment in that arc, and I want to portray that character in a better light with the help of the half-Saiyan meeting this person earlier on. There was so much wrong and stupidity within the story that I honestly want to fix it, and the fact some people were fine with the ending of that arc is just appalling.

The ending of the arc sends the wrong message to its viewers, and anyone who defended them even now after all these years, makes me question their sanity. The author clearly didn't know what he was doing, so I will correct it from start to finish. I plan to have Gohan make this happen. Also, I know I have changed my title again, but this will be the last time because I didn't know a good name for this series until now. This series will be called Beauty & Rage.

I decided to call this series Beauty & Rage because I want the readers to feel the beauty in the storytelling and characters yet feel the rage for or towards characters from both franchises if possible (especially the two people who wronged Satellizer).

It doesn't matter if they were influenced by others because it just takes away the accountability for their actions, continues the cycle of the blame game, creates a toxic victimhood mentality, makes themselves look worse than they actually are, and it's just plain dumb. I also decided to make this fanfic on how the situation should've been handled and how we should interact with people who suffer from abuse or a phobia that was triggered by events in their past.

In this story, I intend to make Gohan and Satellizer have a rather compelling and touching relationship when they meet and once he learns about her past. She and Gohan will try to help each other mentally grow in their own way. Maybe even spiritual growth as well.

It can also teach those who suffered from abuse and trauma how to help themselves if possible. This story will be the primary focus of my series because this kind of stuff is important and how we should handle a situation with the victim and the abuser (it's debatable about the abuser and if peaceful methods haven't worked on them).

A sense of closure for those who went through abuse and trauma, if you will. I don't want anyone to misunderstand, I fully intend to have these individuals answer for their wrongdoings, and I plan on using Gohan to make this happen as well because his presence will cause a change in the Freezing story. How much change Gohan will bring to Freezing is a secret.

The name of the arc where Gohan will have them answer for their actions is The Darkest Part of Me. Not entirely on my feelings but more on Gohan's because I genuinely believe he would do these things to them after all he has been through if Gohan is truly angered by those who brought pain and suffering onto his loved ones, especially those he deeply cares about more so then others.

He has shown signs of cruelty and sadism to wicked people before. It makes sense why he would when you think about what he had to go through as a child. Of course, Gohan's personality will change because of his time with the people in Freezing; however, it will not be a complete 180 of his character or individuality.

Some people might find it very harsh or justified punishment for abusers. However, if you had read Freezing before as I had and know about these characters, then I am sure no one will complain about what Gohan will put them through. Either way, you can all look forward to seeing what will happen when the time arrives.

As much as I want to post my work, I would like to think things through before I actually make an update before posting it. I don't like last minutes changes and think my work is fine, only to add more to it like right now.

Of course, this isn't a substitute for therapy or anything, just something helpful and insightful for others whether they went through trauma and abuse or not. This fanfic will also have topics like forgiveness, redemption, love, and revenge.

This isn't going to be some Naruto-like scenario where everyone gets reformed on ridiculous levels for what they have done in the past or present. Some will change for the better, and some won't. I am sure I don't have to tell anyone what kind of characters won't reform in this fanfic. I don't want to reveal too much to my audience. At least anymore than I have.

If you want to know more about Freezing and this subject, then I advise you to read the Freezing manga chapter 20 for yourself or look at the wiki of the series; using the main heroine's name.

I also humbly request readers not to mention either of them in your reviews until it is revealed because I don't want any readers of this fanfic to be spoiled about these characters if they wish to find out in this fanfic instead.

I will allow comments talking about these events when it has been revealed in this fanfic. I rather you didn't talk about all of it until I reveal the individual who also plays a role in the Bali arc. If you didn't know, I am using the scrapped Gohan design again for this because I like this look more.

Of course, I also intend to make this series as funny and entertaining as possible for my readers. I apologize if this is too long, I am kinda getting used to the right amounts of words for my readers and wanted to make sure those who don't know about either franchise have a good idea of what they should expect from them, give a good opening, and the foreshadowing of what to expect in the future if possible.

I know that in Freezing, we don't know exactly how powerful Maria is, but I decided to put my own ideas on what limits she and the Nova have. I also know that in Freezing we don't exactly know the actual timeline of certain events that play out unless it is outright stated.

I will try to make the best organic connections possible in this fanfic when Gohan meets certain characters. Finally, if there isn't anything in Freezing that wasn't touched on or explained then I will try to come up with my own ideas for them. I don't own the Freezing or Dragon Ball franchise, and Happy New Year. I hope you enjoy this fanfic.

Parallel World Arc

Chapter 1: Prologue

In the year 2014, a young man named Gengo Aoi made artificial pillars to test the theory of the wave of singularity which became his first experiment. During the time, no one believed in Gengo's theory, but he wanted to prove them wrong and won't give up, showing the special waves that are sent to humans, was beginning to experiment in, to develop special and distinguished devices in the lake, and meeting a female alien lifeform who materialized before him. The female alien informed Gengo, she is an alien from another world, who was on a mission sent by her people called Nova. The female Nova was sent to be the vanguard of the human race.

Despite her mission to destroy them, Maria sympathized with mankind and chose to help Gengo fight for humanity's future. Gengo named the female nova Maria Lancelot. With this, Gengo executed his plan using all the information through Maria with a single-point wave reflector that was installed in locations around the world to unite everyone, which became effective thanks to the Nova. The device allowed Gengo to recognize the transcendence that created the whole world as "Nova" and the organization that fights them called Chevalier.

In 2022, a young Gengo Aoi, accompanied by Alfred Hughes, is shown in negotiation with Howard L. Bridget, an 18-year-old boy whose the head family of one the richest and most influential families in the world in determining how humanity should combat the Nova threat.

Howard is also the CFO of Chevalier. Gengo proposes two plans: Pandora, a super-soldier project that would create a few, but outstanding warriors, or Valkyrie, which would develop Stigmata for use in ordinary people and would produce regular soldiers, but in a much larger number. The Pandora Project is selected to commence.

When the Nova invaded Earth, Maria fought single-handedly against them in the early clashes before her presumed death. Her body became crystallized and was sealed away. Despite Maria being unable to fight against the Nova; Gengo Aoi developed genetically modified girls who undergo intense training at special military schools to become soldiers and learn how to fight the invaders from another dimension.

These females are known as "Pandora". Pandora possesses superhuman strength and speeds ten times stronger than an average person due to the things called "Stigmata" on her back, along with powers that respond to their bodies.

The Pandora is also given male soldiers whose primary role is to neutralize the Freezing field emitted by a Nova so that their Pandora may attack them called "Limiter". Because of this development; Gengo Aoi is regarded as the smartest man alive or even in human history thanks to his achievements.

These teenagers are placed in schools called Genetics which are worldwide military academies operated by Chevalier. In 2050, Maria Lancelot's body was transferred to the deepest and most vital level under West Genetics. From it, Gengo Aoi developed and perfected the Stigmata system, which gave birth to Pandora. Maria's body still remains under the academy, and she is considered the "Mother of all Pandora" to this day. She was even called the "Holy Corpse" because they believed she died but Maria is secretly still alive with Gengo's knowledge.

Maria and Gengo also had five daughters and a son who is the youngest of their children. These five daughters are called Legendary Pandoras, and these women are the strongest among all of the Pandoras. They are also the original prototypes of the Pandora soldiers created in 2022.

They were developed and grew up in a laboratory. Although they are "100 times" stronger than the average Pandora in modern times, their bodies were unstable due to their massive strength as a result. The daughters have been sealed away in suspended animation to prevent their deaths. Their existence is top secret information from the outside world.

Their son's name was Ryuuchi Aoi, and he had two children with his wife Orie. A daughter and a son. Their names were Kazuha and Kazuya Aoi. Kazuha is a seventeen-year-old girl, and she is officially entering West Genetic while her ten-year-old brother Kazuya is at home.

During Maria's time in status; she used her Nova's abilities to look at other parallel worlds outside the one she was meant to destroy. Maria saw a lot of things from different universes; however, there was one universe that fascinated her the most.

In this universe, there were species of a proud warrior race called Saiyans who conquered and destroyed planets under the rule of a galactic tyrant known as Frieza. The Saiyans can use ki and had monkey-like tails with a suit of battle armor. They live on Planet Vegeta and can turn into giant apes capable of destroying all in their path when they look at a full moon.

There was a low-class Saiyan warrior named Bardock with his group of fellow low-class Saiyan friends named Borgos, Fasha, Shugesh, and his best friend Tora. They were talking among themselves about Bardock's children named Raditz and newborn son Kakarot; who was meant to be sent to planet Earth soon.

The boy looked like a spitting image of his father except for the scar on his dad's left cheek. Fasha, the only female in their group, joked about Kakarot becoming the Legendary Super Saiyan, which is the highest form of Saiyan achievement when he is an adult.

"The Legendary Super Saiyan?" Maria muttered to herself as she watched them go off to a distant planet.

Bardock and his team were assigned to take down a planet called Kanassa; a species of fish-like humanoids who have the power to see the future. The Saiyans used the full moon to defeat them and eventually reverted back to their normal selves in the morning. They were talking among themselves until the sole survivor of Kanassa emerged from the rubble.

He attacked Bardock and gave him his precognitive foresight ability, so Bardock could see the horror of his end, just like the alien and his people did at their hands before being killed by the Saiyan. The low class went out cold as his team rushed him back to Planet Vegeta with their space pods.

"If what he said was true, then I will have to watch how things play out to the end..." Maria said with interest

Maria can see and hear everything happening in front of her but they couldn't see or hear her. Maria can also look at people's past through their minds and communicate with them through telepathy. Unfortunately for Maria; she couldn't look into Bardock's mind because her powers have certain limitations while in her state. The only thing the "Mother of all Pandora" could do was watch things continue outside Bardock's mind.

"I wonder what kind of visions he is having right now..." Maria said with interest and curiosity.

As Bardock's team returned to base with their unconscious leader, they left for a distant planet on Frieza's orders. Maria decided to switch from watching Bardock to seeing what was about to happen with his team, and she was surprised to witness them being killed by some of Frieza's men.

Tora wanted an explanation on why they were doing this to them as their leader Dodoria told him it was because they were growing too strong. So Frieza wanted them dead for being a possible threat to him in the future.

She saw Bardock arriving, and he was shocked to see his team deceased except for Tora, who told him everything during his final moments in Bardock's arms. Bardock took Tora's scarf and was covered in his blood as he looked at the state Dodoria, and his gang left his team in despite everything their people had done for Frieza until he saw Dodoria's men.

Bardock attacked and killed every one of them until their ringleader showed up and attacked the Saiyan with an energy blast through his mouth. Dodoria believed he killed the Saiyan as he fled only to reveal Bardock survived but was mortally wounded as he went to Planet Vegeta to inform the Saiyans about Frieza's betrayal and plan to kill them. As his space pod sent him to the planet. The space pod with his son was being sent to Earth.

Despite the extent of his injuries, Bardock tried to tell them about Frieza, but they wouldn't listen, so he decided to confront Frieza himself. Maria honestly couldn't tell if he was either brave or stupid, but she had some respect for him because his resolve to change the future for his people reminded her of Gengo.

Bardock flew out into outer space and saw several of Frieza's men leaving his ship to engage with the injured Saiyan. Bardock was doing surprisingly well for himself and took down many of his men as the Saiyan demanded the ruler of most of the known galaxy to face him. Frieza ominously appeared from his ship in his hover pod as his henchmen backed away from Bardock and stopped attacking him.

"That's Frieza...?" Maria spoke in a perplexed manner; as she examined the infamous alien dictator.

As Bardock continued his speech on how they were done with him, Maria turned to look at Frieza for her to see his reaction. Despite not physically being by Bardock's side, Maria felt intimidated by the lizard-looking alien's stoic facial expression. Even from his eyes, Maria can tell that Frieza has no problem killing anyone who stands in his way, even if they are a member of his own family.

Bardock gathered energy in his right hand and threw an energy ball at his former boss, who was still gathering energy from his index finger he revealed in front of everyone.

"This doesn't look like it's going to end well..." Maria deduced with a concerned look with some nervousness in her voice.

Frieza laughed manically and created a massive energy ball that absorbed Bardock's attack.

As many people were incinerated by the attack, Bardock lost some of his clothes as his eyes became white. He muttered that his son shall be the one to avenge them, much to Maria's surprise. During Bardock's final moments, he had a smile on his face, before the warrior screamed out "Kakarot" as he vanished into the sphere it destroyed Planet Vegeta.

Maria then turned her attention to Earth to see if she could find the boy and sure enough, she saw that he is discovered by an old man named Gohan, who decided to call him Goku. From then on; Maria watched how Goku lived his childhood with his "grandpa" Gohan, and he was a rowdy child until he fell off the cliff causing the infant Saiyan to badly injure his head.

The boy seemed playful even innocent compared to his previous behavior. Goku looked at the moon and accidentally killed his adoptive grandfather; however, the boy didn't remember anything he did in his primal form. Maria was also surprised that prehistoric creatures were still alive on this Earth, yet they were all dead in Gengo's world.

Eventually, Goku met a young girl named Bulma, who was looking for orange mystical orbs with red stars on them from one to seven called Dragon Balls; if all seven of them are collected, they will be able to summon the eternal dragon named Shenron capable of granting a wish.

One of the Dragon Balls happens to be in Goku's possession the four-star ball that originally belonged to his grandpa Gohan. Goku was against giving it to her but he reluctantly decided to go on an adventure with her to find the rest of them. On their journey, Goku met many interesting people and did amazing things along the way.

A pervy "Turtle Hermit" old man named Master Roshi was the mentor of Goku's grandpa and became his teacher as well. He disguised himself as a man named Jackie Chun in the 21st World Martial Arts Tournament and won because he wanted to teach his pupils the importance of humility.

A desert bandit named Yamcha was a skilled warrior and shy towards attractive women around his age like Bulma. He eventually became a womanizer but still a capable fighter and good friend of their group.

A young girl named Chi-Chi asked Goku if he would marry her when they were older and he said yes; however, the child didn't know what marriage meant or even was.

A Buddhist monk boy named Krillin wanted to train under Roshi to become strong and became Goku's best friend. He eventually became one of the strongest humans on Earth.

An infamous military group called the Red Ribbon Army looking for the Dragon Balls for world domination, only to be brought down single-handedly by Goku. Some followers managed to escape, especially a certain scientist.

A strong three-eyed warrior named Tien, with his friend, Chiaotzu wanted revenge on Goku for "killing" their mentor hired by the Red Ribbon Army in the 22nd World Tournament but Tien changed his ways because Master Roshi told him he is wasting his potential and made amends with Goku.

An old green goblin-like creature named Demon King Piccolo was imprisoned by a martial artist to stop him from wreaking havoc on the world but he was freed. Mutatio was the name of the warrior and the mentor of Master Roshi. He was on a quest to find the Dragon Balls to restore his youth. He succeeds in regaining his youth but was killed by Goku.

The Demon King poured out the last of his essence to create a child to kill Goku. Goku wanted to meet Kami but ended up seeing a spitting image of an old Demon King Piccolo. Soon, he learned Kami is the original and expelled the evil in his heart which created King Piccolo, so he could be the new guardian of this world. His predecessor refused to give up his job until he got rid of his wickedness.

Goku became an adult, who wanted to fight in the 23rd tournament with his friends, only to learn Piccolo (King Piccolo's son) under the alias "Junior" was partaking in this tournament as well. He fought Piccolo in the finals and won the tournament much to the Saiyan's delight and even Maria's as well. Kami was about to kill Piccolo but Goku stopped him because if he dies then Kami dies as well, taking the Dragon Balls with them.

Goku decided to spare Piccolo as he swore to one day kill Goku and rule this world. A year later, Goku and Chi-Chi had a child after they got married and Maria found him adorable.

"Aww! He is so cute!" Maria smiled affectionately at the family's child. She almost felt like she was watching the birth of her grandchild. "I hope he doesn't act like his dad before he fell on his head. Horrible little monster..."

"I also hope he doesn't do any crotch touching like him either..." Maria sweatdropped with a grim voice

They decided to name him Gohan since the boy liked the name and as years went by Goku decided to take him to Roshi's island to see his friends again. It was short-lived when a Saiyan appeared in front of them. The child also had the same voice of his dad when he was little.

It was his older brother Raditz, who demanded to know why Goku didn't conquer Earth yet he learned Goku lost his memories and lost his tail a long time ago. Raditz explained everything to Goku but he refused to have anything to do with the Saiyans.

Raditz was getting annoyed and decided to take Gohan instead if Goku won't join them and submit to his demands. Goku was easily taken down by his brother who took Gohan with him by force. Piccolo appeared and offered a temporary truce to take down Raditz since Piccolo followed him here and knew he was no match for the invader on his own either.

Maria was actually getting excited by this turn of events yet she was still worried about Gohan's safety. Maria decided to see what Raditz was doing to him and found his "uncle" throw him into his space pod. Goku and Piccolo showed up and fought Raditz, they were overwhelmed as Raditz knocked Goku down as he was crushing his ribs and sternum.

Goku's scream of agony awakened something in Gohan as he burst out from the space pod and attacked Raditz, surprising everyone including Maria. Raditz then knocked Gohan out and tried to kill him only for Goku to save his son, much to Maria's relief. Goku gave up his life and allowed Piccolo to kill him and his brother. Before Raditz passed away, he told Piccolo there were two more Saiyans far stronger than him and they heard their talk about the Dragon Balls.

They will be arriving in one year, so Piccolo kidnaps Gohan because he knew Gohan's power will be useful in their fight. Piccolo explained everything to Gohan and decided to train him but needed to survive in the wilderness first. Gohan was exposed to the moon at some point which caused Piccolo to destroy it and get rid of his tail. During his time alone, the Son of Goku experienced, just how dark and cruel the world really is, along with the importance of being strong. Maria watched as Gohan's confidence grew and his relationship with Piccolo was like a second father and son. She even laughed when Gohan called him a "Big Green Uncle".

It has finally been a year; just like Raditz said they arrived, and their names were Vegeta and Nappa. They also told Piccolo, he is an alien from Namek despite the warrior thinking he was a demon. Gohan and Piccolo were accompanied by Krillin, Yamcha, Tien, and Chiaotzu, who were training to fight the Saiyans. Nappa brought out creatures called Saibamen which were as powerful as Raditz; the Z warriors lost Yamcha in the process, even though he was winning. Krillin was enraged by this and killed 3 of them. The last one was killed by Piccolo.

Nappa decided to fight them all by himself; Chiaotzu and Tien threw their lives away to stop Nappa, but it was in vain. Piccolo entrusted Gohan to help them take down Nappa, but he ran and hid. Greatly angering his mentor. Before Nappa could carry on his assault, Vegeta told him to wait for Goku to show up if they thought he would make a difference.

"Despite how horrible Tien was in the past, I forgive him for his past behavior," Maria said as she looked at his lifeless body. "He already paid for his wrongdoings before he died. Huh?"

While they waited for Goku's arrival, Maria noticed a robotic bug watching them from a distance, but it was destroyed when the bot followed Nappa as he went on a rampage to entertain himself. They went back to fighting as Goku still didn't show up yet. When Vegeta sensed Goku's energy, he urged Nappa to kill them all and will go to Namek for the Dragon Balls. Nappa was about to kill Gohan until Piccolo gave his life to save him.

Maria couldn't believe what she witnessed and cried during his final moments with Gohan with her hands covering her mouth. Her view of him completely changed for what he did for the child.

"Piccolo... Gohan..." Maria muttered tearfully

Goku saved Gohan from Nappa and defeated him. With the help of Gohan, Krillin, and Yajirobe; they managed to defeat Vegeta. Before the final blow was struck, Goku asked Krillin to let Vegeta live because he wanted to fight him again to become stronger.

They decided to go to Namek and ask the Namekians if they can use the Dragon Balls to bring their friends back to life. Gohan, Krillin, and Bulma went to Namek without Goku because he was still recovering from his injuries. They arrived on Namek but they were not alone, Vegeta also arrived on Namek for his own reasons but worse of all... Frieza was here as well.

This instilled great fear in Maria because if Vegeta was that much of a problem for them on Earth, then they had no hope against Frieza. As Gohan and Krillin tried to lay low on Frieza, who was with Dodoria and his right-hand man Zarbon; they witnessed their cruelty towards the Namekians. Gohan decided to jump and saved a Namek child named Dende from them.

As they escaped from Dodoria, the two separated and Gohan found a lot of Namekians killed by Vegeta. Maria's heart was moved by Gohan going out of his way to bury every Namekian, who was killed by the Saiyan. Speaking of Vegeta, he managed to kill Dodoria and eventually Zarbon as the prince stole a Dragon Ball from Krillin.

Vegeta thought he had all of them after stealing them from Frieza but Gohan stole the only one he left hidden. The Nova was genuinely creepied out by Vegeta's weird behavior but she glad it ended with a knee to the gut instead of what she thought he was going to do to the boy. Maria was quite pleased the prince didn't notice the Dragon Ball and wanted to see his reaction but Maria was at a loss for words when she saw the fury in his eyes and adrenaline in his voice. The Nova could swear his screaming can be heard even in this universe. Vegeta found them but he offered a truce to get the rest of the balls because Frieza's strongest men known as the Ginyu Force were about to arrive.

They were too late as their leader gave all of the Dragon Balls to Frieza but he couldn't summon the dragon to grant him immortality because he needs the password. Meanwhile, Gohan and the others were fighting for their lives against the Ginyu Force; they would've died if Goku hadn't shown up with the amount of training he did before he arrived. He was in a healing tank after the ordeal with Vegeta still on their side.

While Frieza was being distracted the strongest Namekian named Nail. Krillin and Gohan got the password from Dende but they decided to use them without Vegeta, unfortunately for them, the Saiyan Prince found out and wanted his wish to be immortal but the creator died which means the dragon died with him. Things only got worse when they were discovered by Frieza; Piccolo was brought back and fused with Nail to give them an edge but it wasn't enough.

Vegeta tried to take advantage of his zenkai; a genetic trait that allows a Saiyan's power to increase immensely when recovering from near-death injuries, by having Dende heal him. It wasn't enough to beat Frieza either; the ruler of the universe killed Dende and Vegeta. Goku arrived to fight Frieza and the Saiyan Prince made a plea to Goku to kill Frieza to avenge the Saiyans. Even Goku was no match for Frieza, so he decided to use the Spirit Bomb to finish him.

It was much bigger and stronger than the one he used on Vegeta but it failed. At this point, Maria was thinking Frieza must be some kind of god to survive that and capable of even moving from the impact it had on Namek. To her knowledge, Maria can think of a few Novas who could beat Frieza though she doubts they are as durable as him.

Frieza "killed" Piccolo and then he killed Krillin; Maria feared this really is the end of Goku and Gohan until the older Saiyan was furious at the demise of his best friend. Goku's pupils disappeared and he screamed at the top of his lungs as his hair and aura became yellow. His pupils became teal as he stood in confidence with a defiant and powerful stare. Goku has finally become a Super Saiyan, which left even Frieza in pure shock and awe.

"Go-Goku...?" Maria asked breathlessly

Goku was dominating Frieza throughout the whole fight until the tyrant tried to blow up the planet but they had to finish it quickly before it explodes. Goku allowed his arch-enemy to reach his full power because he wanted to mentally break Frieza. To make Frieza know that even at his absolute best, Goku can beat him and lose to the one thing he hated most. A simple Saiyan monkey.

Gohan eventually came back because he thought Frieza killed his dad and stall him but it turns out Goku was still alive. Maria is proud of how much the boy has changed and displayed such bravery despite being so young; sure, his father was brave from the beginning and faced his enemies without fear but Gohan wasn't brave from the start yet look at him now. He was willing to die on a doomed planet with the greatest evil in the universe.

Maria was startled at seeing everyone who died on Namek except Krillin be brought back to life and those people went to Earth, along with Gohan, Piccolo, Bulma, and even Vegeta.

Goku and Frieza were the only ones remaining as they continued their fight on a planet that was going to blow up. Maria's whole body shivers as she can feel the hatred and intensity of the titanic battle between the two unfold in front of her, along with the history, before all of this happened.

Maria honestly can't remember the last time she ever felt this excited. The Nova burst out laughing when she saw Goku slapping Frieza that it made her actually body laugh as well. She rooted for Goku the entire time and praised him for blowing him up with a ki blast. Maria also laughed at how Frieza cut himself in half and even harder at the face he made from his final attempt to kill Goku. Time was short for Goku as he couldn't operate Frieza's ship but he found a space pod and managed to escape.

It sent Goku to an unknown planet called Yardart, who healed him as Maria went to see how Gohan and the others were doing on Earth. After bringing Krillin and the others back to life, they found out Goku was still alive but he wished not to be returned.

Maria genuinely wanted to scold Goku for wanting to be on a foreign planet than coming back to his wife and child on Earth. She could've done that if she borrowed some energy from her daughters; however, she chose not to because the "Holy Corpse" was too interested to see how Goku's and Gohan's story would play out without her interference.

It has been two years since the events on Namek and Maria hasn't checked on Gohan or Goku for a long time. The Nova decided to examine if there was any change since then and she was in disbelief to see Frieza on Earth but a good portion of his body is robotic with his father King Cold attacking Gohan and the others.

"Why are you still alive?!" Maria shouted

She couldn't believe he is still alive and he had his father who is much stronger than him by his side. As all of this unfold she looked everywhere for Goku but she couldn't find him until an unknown space pod appeared from the sky.

Maria hoped it was who she thought it was and the person inside was Goku. The Saiyan defeated them with everyone miraculously surviving the ordeal and finally putting an end to Frieza for good.

"And this time... stay dead!" Maria said aggravatedly

As everyone celebrated their survival; Maria, once again, noticed the same robotic insect spying on them from a distance.

She decided to get a better look at it this time, and it was from the Red Ribbon Army. Maria decided to ignore it since Goku and the others survived far worse, so anything this wasted-up organization produces couldn't possibly pose a threat to Goku and the others compared to someone like Frieza.

Three years later, Maria came back to see what has came back and saw Gohan learning a few tricks from Piccolo and Goku. Piccolo taught him how to make clothing with ki while Goku taught Gohan the moves he learned from King Kai and even mind reading.

Eventually, she returned to see Gohan running as fast as he could to his house. Maria found all of Goku's friends, even Vegeta outside of their household as if they were waiting for something to happen. The Nova can tell whatever has them on edge can't be good. She also noticed a child in Bulma's arms but didn't care too much about it.

Chi-Chi informed Gohan that his dad has passed away from a heart virus and this time, not even the Dragon Balls can bring him back. Maria was heartbroken to hear this information, and she wanted to hug the young half-Saiyan. The woman herself was greatly saddened by Goku's demise.

The Mother of all Pandora almost felt like she lost another one of her children after hearing about Goku's permanent demise as she watched his entire journey since he was a baby. His story made her laugh and made her cry. He will be gone, but Goku shall live on forever in her memories. Maria's heart also went out to Gohan after losing him again.

Being only a child he had to see his father leave for the other world because of an illness that would not allow him to be resurrected but this was only the beginning. A few days later, a scientist named Doctor Gero from the Red Ribbon Army, created artificial beings; who had a never-ending amount of stamina to the point that artificial beings wouldn't grow tired.

Every since the 22nd World Tournament, Gero's insectoid nano-borg has watched and surveyed every battle Goku fought except for his time on Namek. The scientist believed the twin siblings, the black-haired younger brother Andriod 17, and the blond older sister Andriod 18 are powerful enough to avenge the Red Ribbon Army; however, Dr. Gero didn't expect 17 and 18 to end up being his killer.

Worse of all, they are much stronger than Frieza and King Cold. This advanced form of technology would be the end of this Earth's mightiest warriors and drive the world into ruination.

Chaiotzu, Yamcha, Tien, Krillin, Yajirobe, Piccolo, and even Vegeta was no match for them... each one fell victim to the androids in front of Gohan, the now, eleven-year-old little boy who could only watch them suffer and die since childhood... his friends, his teacher, and even his father... died in front of his eyes only while being so young... how was it possible for a child to suffer so much without any rest?

Maria watched as Gohan was on the ground in agony covered in his own blood with bruises on him. His face was full of horror and sadness yet his eyes were full of tears, shame, and guilt for his own weakness for failing to protect those he loved from danger. Gohan had his put head down as his tears were falling on the ground.

"I'll kill you... I'll kill you..." Gohan muttered to himself as his ki and hair was rising.

"What?" Andriod 17 said mockingly as he pulled the left side of his hair while trying to lean closer towards the child "Speak up, kid, I can't hear you."

Gohan lift his head up with his eyes completely white and screamed at the top of his lungs.

"I SAID I"LL KILL YOU!" Gohan shouted as 17 comically backed away from the child as the ground shook with his hair turning blonde and had teal pupils.

"Little shit...!" Andriod 17 said as he rubbed his ear with his sister chuckling behind him. "He almost ruined my hearing..!"

Gohan was breathing hard as his ki was rising and causing a strong breeze to come in their direction. The young half-breed reverted to his original form his eyes were fueled with rage and sorrow as he glared at the ones responsible for all of this mayhem. His gaze was turning from teal to black every second before it became black.

"Oh, look what we have here, 17. He almost turned into the "Legendary Super Saiyan". I was so frightened. Whatever were we going to do?" 18 stated in a condescending matter. Gohan raised his head to stare at them with murderous intent but it didn't phase them one bit.

"I'll get you two for what you have done!" Gohan shouted as he locked eye contact with them, got on his feet, and walked towards the duo with the ground shaking after each step. "Do you hear me?! You will pay!"

18 rolled her eyes at his declaration before making eye contact with him.

"Don't fool yourself, kid." 18 replied bluntly. "We all know it wouldn't make a difference if you did obtain it... even Vegeta couldn't beat us as a Super Saiyan, so what can you accomplish when he has failed?"

"Shut up!" Gohan shouted as he flew towards her as fast as he could before the woman dodged his punch, kneed him in the gut, and punched him across the face through four buildings with little effort.

As Maria watched the boy get beaten up by the duo as they were toying with him, she knew there is no way the child could win. Goku and his friends have gotten out of bad situations before but Maria was certain this world is doomed.

The Nova wanted to save Gohan but Maria didn't have the means to help him until she had an idea on how to rescue him from certain death. Maria used telepathy to communicate with her daughters who are still in status.

"My daughters... hear me..." Maria called out to them in a calm and loving voice like any real mother would to her children. "Lend me some of your energy..."

Gohan was sent straight to the ground and let out a giant cloud it created a large crater. Maria looked through the smoke and she was horrified at the sight of the badly injured child. Gohan's eyes were black and blue.

He was laying on the ground with a good portion of his purple gi torn revealing the fist imprints underneath the fabric, writhing in agony to the point he couldn't even stand up, bleeding hard from his head as it leak almost all of his face going down to his torso.

The androids looked completely fine as they descended on top of a building far away from Gohan's location as the duo found the boy.

"17, let's kill this brat." 18 said casually as she kept staring at him. "If we let him live as he is now, he could be a real threat to us later."

"It wouldn't be fun to kill him now. I'd like to have a good challenge every now and then compared to playing Life on Easy mode all day but I guess your right, sis. Better safe than sorry." 17 replied as they both prepared to powerful energy wave together.

"Hurry, my children, hurry!" Maria said with urgency as the android's energy blast was getting stronger and could fire any second.

"Die!" They both said as they fired at the mortally wounded boy as it went straight toward him.

As the beam got closer and louder; Gohan weakly opened one of his eyes before closing it with some tears coming out.

"Dad... Piccolo... please forgive me..." Gohan said with great shame and sorrow in his voice before he vanished from being caught in the blast and it made a nuclear bomb-size explosion.

Meanwhile...

Outside of a certain school...

"We Pandora of Japan West Genetics shall always be ready to protect mankind!" An elderly female dressed as a nun said into a microphone in a room with a lot of girls wearing their schoolgirl Pandora uniforms standing attentively. "In Tandem with the rest of the Chevalier's forces from the unknown threat of the Nova."

"Do not forget, that every lecture and practice drill will help you in your mission to protect the lives of you, your comrades, and by extension, the rest of mankind as well! Never forget that you are all Pandoras. This is your duty as those who were born with the skills to protect mankind!"

All the females left the room as two certain females spoke up among them.

"I think I'm gonna take another nap after classes are over." The teenage green-haired German girl with a side pony on her left side said as she yawned and stretch her body while walking.

"I told you not to stay up so late." A very buxom long brown-haired Korean teenage girl scold her friend as she looked at her roommate.

"Hey, you two~. Did you forget what day it is?" A teenage Japanese girl wearing glasses with dark brown shoulder-length hair asked as she approached them

"Ah, Shion."

"Apparently, a Burger Queen is opening near here at lunch," Shion said smiling.

"Oh yeah, that's right."

"A Burger Queen, huh... so they're trying to make money here, too."

"What's wrong with that? Where do you think Genetics gets its money from?" Shion replied. "Only whiners reject the fact we live in a Capitalist society."

"Anyway, did you hear the news?" Shion asked as she walked with her friends around campus.

"News?"

"There's a rumor about a junior transferring in."

"A Junior?"

"What's so rare about a transfer? Is she some kind of troublemaker that got kicked out of her other school?"

"No, no... far from it. Listen and be amazed..." Shion said to her classmates. "Apparently this new Junior is Gengo Aoi's granddaughter."

"Aoi Gengo... you mean that expert on Nova research?" The Korean girl asked with interest but was unaware of a blue-haired girl running straight towards her.

"WATCH OUT!"

"Eh?"

The running female headed into the Korean girl but her head bounced away from the collision of the buxom girl's big boobs making a "boing" noise. Korean girl fell on her butt while the other one seemingly landed on her head.

"Did you hear that?"

"They went "boing~"."

"Ow ow ow... what was that?" Korean girl asked annoyed still on the ground. "Watch where you're-"

All they could see is the girl's light-blue dress was covering the upper half of her body, including her face but revealing her white panties and slender legs in an awkward position. She was wearing clothes much different from their standard West Genetics uniform.

"Hoho! That's the stuff! A young gal always gotta wear white!" The German said with enthusiasm.

"What are you some old lecher?" Shion asked her. "This isn't the time for your stupid jokes..."

"Quit admiring her panties and try to actually help her out for crying out loud!" The Korean said as she got off the ground and towards her. "Hey, are you okay?!"

"Doubt it, she ran into "Yumi the Gorilla" after all..."

"I bet she'll have to be in intensive care for about three weeks."

"You two!"

"Ouch..."

"Ah, sorry, are you hu..."

The light-blue fabric revealed a girl, who has back-length dark blue hair that has sides tied to her back and amber eyes. She had a bruise on her head with tears coming out.

"Ah... Mommy! I got a bump on my head! I can't get married anymore! Uwaahhh!" She cried loudly.

"S-Sorry!" Yumi replied trying to control the situation. "I'll take you to the Recovery Center right away!"

"Where am I? Who am I?" She asked as the girls had faces full of worry and concern.

Shion gulped

"I-it can't be... did she really lose her..."

"Just kidding~ I'm fine." She replied cheerfully as the three girls fell behind their backs with their legs standing up.

"Hey! There are some jokes you shouldn't make, got that?!" Yumi scolded by pointing her finger at the girl.

"Ah, did you believe me?" She asked with a smile "Sorry, you all seemed so serious, I couldn't help it..."

"No biggie, you ran into a "Titty Monster Gorilla" after all." The German said wrapping her arm around Yumi and pointing at her. "It wouldn't be weird if you really did lose

your memory."

"Who are you calling a "Titty Monster Gorilla?!"

"It's true, you do kind of owe me, though."

"Owe you?" Yumi asked confusedly.

"Yeah, since it looks like I'm a little for my first day now, thanks to you running into me and all~," The female said still smiling.

"It's already lunch..." The German said to her. "That's more than "a little"."

"And you're the one who ran into me..."

"You're pretty funny," Shion stated. "Are you a junior? Where's your uniform?"

"Ah, Gramps made this specifically for me."

"Gramps?"

"By the way, are you all seniors here?" She asked the three females.

"Er, yeah..." Yumi confirmed

"It's nice to meet you!" She said smiling. "I'll be transferring into the junior class here at the academy starting today. I look forward to learning together with all of you!"

"T-transfer..." Yumi asked curiously "Wait... are you Dr. Gengo Aoi's...?"

"Eh? You know my Gramps?"

"There's not a Pandora around who doesn't know that name," Shion replied smiling.

"Well then, allow me to re-introduce myself! I'll be a junior at West Genetics starting today. My name is Kazuha Aoi and I hope that you will all help me improve my skills as much as possible."

"I'm Shion Nayfield."

"Elize Schmitz." The German girl informed.

"Yumi Kim."

"I hope we can get along," Kazuha said as they heard a loud thud to their right side where the trees and bushes are located on the school ground.

THUD

"What was that?" Yumi asked as they looked at each other and got cautious.

Shion volunteered to investigate as she walked toward the direction where the noise came from. Shion decided to look through the bushes until she screamed out loud and recoiled in horror with her hand covering her mouth but the girl was still standing. Her eyes locked on the figure in front of her.

The three rushed in her direction to see what she found and it was Gohan laying there unconscious while weakly grunting from his wounds.

"What the hell happened to him?!" Yumi shouted with a horrified yet concerned look on her face. "Who would do something like this to a child?!"

"We'll worry about that, later!" Elize said in a serious tone as she picked him up with care. "Right now, we need to get this kid to the Recovery Center, immediately! Our doctors are even better than the ones, who work at the most expensive hospitals!"

"Elize is right, Yumi!" Shion agreed as she regained her usual calm and collected behavior. "We need to hurry and save this child right now!"

As the three girls ran as fast as they could to get Gohan the medical attention he deserves, Kazuha had an unreadable expression on her face as she followed them to the Recovery Center with her gaze more focused on him than anything else.
