Chamber Day 1

Pan walked into the Hyperbolic time chamber, standing a few feet in the middle of the room and took a brief look around. She had taken brief looks into Earth's version of it, but had never gone in herself. It looked roughly the same to what she saw, a table, in the main room, three other areas leading towards a bedroom, a bathroom, and a storage area.

Pan took a deep breath and slowly let it out. She remembered dad once telling her about the first time he went out to the steps leading into the 'endless void' where the training took place. He had been shocked at the endless expanse, and had been surprised by the gravity. Slowly, Pan walked out from the main area and towards the steps. She took in the the sight, and endless expanse without end, and took her first step off of the edge. She cringed, struggling not to fall to the ground once the heavier gravity took effect.

She decided to find out her normal limits. She knew she could go out farther with the Kaio-Ken, but wanted to figure out how far she could go on just her normal power, she had to keep in mind Odianna's warning. Pan took one step after another until she fell to her knees, unable to go further. She glanced back and scowled, not nearly far enough for her tastes. Pan crawled back a bit until she could stand and started to exercise. She remembered being told getting used to the gravity first before really going into the training was important.

She frowned as the first hour passed. It was quiet...

The second hour passed, sweat starting to pour down her face with effort. It was far to quiet...

At the end of the third hour, Pan decided to take a break, she walked back to the steps and sat down, frowning and looking around. It was to quiet in here. There wasn't any sounds aside from the ones she made. No wind, no people talking, no animals making sounds, nothing. Dad and Grandpa had never mention this, it was unnerving. She was already desperately wanted to talk with someone.

She blinked a few times. "Jeez Pan! Get ahold of yourself, you haven't even been in here a day yet!"

She threw herself back into training, rushing out farther and farther until she collapsed and had to crawl back, she sighed to herself. "This is going to be a long year..."

Chamber Day 7

Pan walked out into the training area, humming to herself. "Another day, another day to train! Hmm, what level should I start at?"

She had finally gotten used to the gravity a bit from the steps. "Lets go... times five!"

Wooosh! The aura engulfed her, and immediately Pan fell to her knees. "Oh wow... gravity plus Kaio-Ken equals a rough time on the body."

Slowly Pan rose to her feet and started thrusting her fists out. "Waja think Pan? Not to bad, right?"

Pan went silent for a moment. "I think Grandpa would think I'm crazy talking to myself like this."

Pan scowled. She hated the silence of this place, it was horrible and really getting to her. She NEEDED to have some kind of sound, she didn't think she'd be able to make it the whole year otherwise. She'd rather have a Saiyan beating her face in, or Odianna kicking her in the crotch again rather than go through a year of utter silence with no one to talk to.

She frowned. "Screw it. Lets kick up a notch and see if I can double it out here. Times ten!"

Chamber Day 14

Pan painfully pulled herself into bed, a trail of blood following behind her. To high, far to high. What had she been thinking? Her attempt at the times ten last week should have been a wakeup call, what was she thinking trying a fifteen? She could have been killed! She still could be, her muscles were pulsating and rippling, ready to burst at a moments notice. Pan rolled onto her stomach, grabbed a pillow, brought it to her face, bit down, and screamed into it.

Chamber Day 21

Pan started giggling to herself as she began doing sit-ups with the Kaio-Ken on. It was kinda funny watching the fiery aura woosh around as she moved up and down. She had started taking enjoyment in small things like that, fleeting as they were. She had been forced to, bedridden as she had been most of this week, as a means of escape.

She rose to her feet, satisfied with her warmup. "Hmm..."

She examined herself and then whispered, "Times ten."

Woosh, the aura ignited around her. Pan examined herself again, after recovering from almost killing herself with the times fifteen screw up, her power had jumped considerably. She frowned, was it a screw up though? She recalled the Saiyan trait that let them grow stronger after recovering from extreme wounds. She stared at herself, taking in a deep breath and then letting it out. This power boost, she hadn't trained a lot this week, yet, she was already so far stronger than she had been. She scowled, this felt like cheating... but...

An awful, awful idea invaded her mind. If she could tolerate the extreme pain, then, she could boost her power very quickly. She fidgeted, it had hurt so much though. She struggled with herself for a time before slowly, her inhibition fell away and she quietly sobbed to herself. She couldn't let them down, she'd do whatever it took, there was an army of Saiyans coming, she didn't have a choice.

She cupped her hands to her side and began, "Kaaa-meee-haaa-meee..."

She hesitated one final time before thrusting her hands forward. "HAAAA!"

She twisted her arms and forced the kamehameha wave to turn and twist around, aiming straight for herself...

Chamber Day 28

Pan slowly walked out of the bedroom and sat down on the steps covered in her own dried blood leading to the endless training area. She brought her knees up to her chest and wrapped her arms around them. Her eyes were droopy, and she still felt exhausted. Twice this week she had blasted herself to oblivion. Her clothes were in tatters, her tears were used up, there was blood all over her bed and the chamber, and her pain threshold was shot. Right now, she could hardly even feel her power, forget trying to check what kind of progress she had attained. She needed to sleep, but had remained sleepless for all of last night. She merely sat there, letting the hours go by, brooding to herself.

Chamber Day 35

Pan got up, moving out to the training area before examining herself once more to confirm her fears. She had only just noticed it last night in the shower, noticed her stupidity. Almost killing herself a few times for a quick power boost, sure, her ki had gone up quite a bit, but her body had been wrecked and weakened. She had practically not moved at all for the last two weeks due to being bedridden, her muscles has weakened and lost a little bit of mass due to the lack of use and huge abuse she put them through. If she had a bag of senzu beans, maybe almost killing herself over and over again could have worked, but without them, it was a fool's strategy. She had a lot of time to make up, she was going to have to re-tone her body. Hopefully it wouldn't be more than two to three weeks with a bit of extra eating, and she'd be back in tip top shape.

She began exercising in silence. She wished someone had been able to come in with her, they would have pointed out what she had been doing wasn't right. Not only that, training alone wouldn't be as effective as training with a partner. She could never push herself alone as hard as a partner could. She sighed in frustration before devoting herself to recovering from her mistake.

Chamber Day 42

Pan had to admit, as much as she had started to loath being part Saiyan since she had learned of Terra's history, it had its advantages. She was already back on her feet, body fully recovered, and pushing herself. She was reminded again of her mistake when, even when she had recovered, her body and ki even stronger than before, she hadn't been able to sustain a times fifteen Kaio-Ken. Her body still needed to adapt to the pressure.

Baby steps then. "Times eleven!"

Pan threw herself out into the training area punching and kicking the air as she flew deeper. She had yet to reach the point where the flames and ice her Grandpa had once described to her appeared. She knew when she reached that point, things would really get intense. Until then though, she had to keep it up and trudge forward.

Chamber Day 49

Pan sat on her bed quietly. She had remembered that the time chamber, it was the place when her dad had become a Super Saiyan. It had just hit her all the sudden, she had her chance in here to get something she had wanted all of her life. She knew how to do it, to use intense emotions, rage, the pain of loss. Her dad had been able to do it in a few months with Grandpa's help. Surely she could do the same. She could easily imagine the others being hurt and killed and try to force it to trigger... as much as she didn't want to put herself through that...

But...

Every time she imagined it, the glow of the Super Saiyan form she had once treasured, she saw him. The face of the Saiyan who had murdered the mother of those two kids back when she had first arrived on Terra. She saw in her mind, made up faces of the Super Saiyans and Ascended Super Saiyans who had devastated this world. The history, what Odianna and the others had went through...

She held up her hand, imagining it one last time in the yellow glow of a Super Saiyan, before she lowered her hands. It was gone, the desire. She couldn't find herself wanting to be like them. She didn't want to be Saiyan anymore. She'd grudgingly accept the ability to recover quickly and come back stronger, but, she didn't... she didn't need that horrible yellow power! Not to mention, if she revealed she was part Saiyan, she couldn't predict how the others would react, she might end up dead.

Her held up her hand again and ignited the Kaio-Ken, admiring the red glow. "THIS! This is what I want! This is the only power I need! I don't need the strength of those monsters!"

She lowered her hand again, closing her eyes, and snuffing out the aura. "I... I just hope I can become strong enough to save everyone without the power of a Super Saiyan..."

Chamber Day 56

"ahmeeee-haaaaaa!" Pan cried out, thrusting her arms out and shooting off another of her Grandpa's energy waves.

She watched it disappear into the distance before losing her Kaio-Ken and falling to her knees. "Damn... why is... each level so... hard compared to the last...?"

It was taking longer and longer for her body to adapt to each new level of the Kaio-Ken, and was starting to frustrate her. Two weeks and she was barely at a times fourteen. Even with that, eleven through thirteen still felt shaky to hold. Not to mention, her body was slowly starting to show signs of heavy exhaustion again.

Pan sighed to herself. "Maybe the rest of the day off then, a long break would do me some good."

Chamber Day 63

Pan was upside down, using one arm to push herself up and down while humming to herself. "Two-hundred and niiineeety niiineeee, doo doo doo, three hundreeeeeeed!"

Pan flipped herself upright and floated in the air, wondering what to do next. Exercising the same was every day was getting boring, she needed to train someway else or she was gonna go crazy. Maybe...

Pan hopped on one leg and began to spin, trying to see how long she could go before she lost balance and got dizzy. A minute later she fell on her butt and laughed a little before frowning. Not really an effective training method.

She sighed and sat down, extinguishing her Kaio-Ken. What else could she do though?

Pan laid down in the gravity, putting her hands behind her head and just staring up into the white void. "Hmm..."

She rolled over onto her stomach and propped her head up with her hands, a thought striking her. "Maybe I should practice techniques?"

Chamber Day 70

Pan put two fingers to either side of her forehead. "Solar flare!"

Blinding flashes shined out from her, enough to stun and disorient any opponent looking at her. She nodded with satisfaction. Okay, one more technique down, check! While she loved her Grandpa's Kamehameha wave and preferred it over everything else, she had paid attention to his friends whenever they spared. Not to mention, she was her father's daughter as well...

She put her hands together over her forehead, "Masenko-HA!"

She thrust her hands forward and unleashed a blast, BOOM, it hit the ground and exploded. She nodded in satisfaction before frowning and glancing at her hands.

"D-destructo disk!" she shouted.

She cringed as rather than the thin deadly disk attack, she still got a fat pizza with soft edges. She growled with annoyance and threw it to the ground, she had a rough time mimicking some attacks. She really wanted this attack, outside of someone absolutely ridiculously stronger than her, no one could actually block it. It would rip through defenses, and if she could goad a Saiyan into blocking it, easy kill.

Speaking of impossible to defend attacks, she playful put to fingers to her forehead. "Mr. Piccolo, I wish I had asked you how to do the Special Beam Cannon."

She sighed and lowered her hands. She had used a lot of time trying to replicate this ability. She could make a piercing beam attack, but honoring her father's teacher and making it one hundred percent identical with the same power had eluded her. Especially the spiral part of the beam itself and the super high energy output it had.

She scowled, a lot of techniques that looked easy to do hadn't been as such. The tri-beam from Tien Shinhan was deceptively difficult. She could get the same shape, but, nowhere near the same energy output. Whenever Tien did it, it was a really heavy attack, it also looked like it drained him a bit, but she wasn't sure how or why.

She hesitated as her thoughts turned towards Vegeta. She had tried a few times to replicate his Galick Gun and Final Flash. However, she had stopped trying after a few hours of practice when a thought had stuck her. She wasn't sure Vegeta would like her using them. She was fairly certain if he ever caught her using his moves, especially without his explicit permission, he'd flip out. Mmmm, yeah, probably for the best to leave those techniques alone.

"Kamehameha!" Pan suddenly cried out, throwing an energy wave out, then twisting it to come back at her.

Rather than hit her, it passed through her afterimage and exploded into the ground. Pan grinned, it had taken her a bit to figure that one out, but, she was very satisfied with that technique. Though, against stronger opponents who could easily follow bursts of speed, or against someone with really good senses, the afterimage wouldn't be that effective.

Pan frowned, there was one great annoyance she had all this last week. Her friends she had made since coming to Terra, she hadn't learned any signature techniques from them. In fact, she had barely seen them use any ki based attacks at all aside from basic and heavy blasts. It was curious, surely they had to have one, the fox school had to have some kind of special attack. She scowled, she wanted someway to honor them...

Then again...

"Kaio-Ken!" she shouted.

She studied the red aura, and in her mind, went through the motions of the fox style of combat. Maybe she already was honoring them. The Kaio-Ken was the technique of the gods, sure, but, it was a technique that they lived, breathed, and would die by. It was more their own than the gods.

Pan extinguished the red aura and then sat down, nodding slowly before she began to brood on another subject. "All these techniques and styles... they're what I've been taught and replicated. But, what about ME! What techniques have I brought to the table? None."

She scratched her head. "Hrm... how in the world do I go about inventing a technique?"

Chamber Day 77

Pan had to admit, making up a technique out of nothing was a lot harder than she ever would have thought it would be. Randomly throwing out weird shaped ki blasts and making up names was dumb. Trying to give a specific form and function always had her drawing up blanks, coming up with something useless, or having her make techniques that were pretty much carbon copies of things she already knew.

She sat down, stumped. "Hrm... well..."

Well, maybe she should start from scratch. What exactly was she looking for with a technique? Raw power? Well, she had the Kamehameha wave and the Kaio-Ken to give her that. Utility? She had the Solar Flare and the Afterimage covering that. A finishing, deadly attack? The Destructo Disk, once she worked out a few remaining kinks, would give her that. A quick attack with a decent punch? The Masenko worked there, along with regular ki blasts. Making anything in those categories would just be redundant.

She tilted her head back and rubbed her chin. She really already had her bases covered, so maybe she should look at it from a different perspective. What did she personally want out of it? Something 'her', to call her own? Something awing? Something scary? Something to send some kind of message?

She thought it over before she decided. "All of the above."

She DID want to send a message. She wanted something so powerful, so awe inspiring, that would drive fear into the Saiyan's hearts and make them never want to come back to Terra! Something that would make them question themselves and wonder maybe if the gods themselves were passing judgement on them.

Pan paused suddenly, a whisper passing her lips, "Judgement..."

She grinned. Judgement, now that was a powerful sounding attack name. Gears in her head starting spinning, and within the hour, she had the basics of the attack she wanted forming within her mind...

Chamber Day 85

Pan knew she had spent far to much time messing with techniques, far to much time taken away from training. But she wanted this, wanted this so much ever since she had came up with the idea. The last week had been spent finally mastering the Destructo Disk, and then pouring herself into creating and tweaking the appearance and power of her new technique. It was ready... at last it was ready to use!

"Kaio-ken times twenty!" she cried out, pushing herself far above her limits.

She rushed out into the training area and planted her feet down to the ground. She glowered at an imaginary enemy, trying to glare death at him. She held out her hands to her sides, red energy gathering in her hands. She slowly brought her hands together, aiming into the sky.

RIPPLE! PULSE!

Her energy surged up high into the sky far out of vision, but still under her control. Pan immediately knelt down on one knee, bringing her hands down and slamming them into the ground before screaming one word at the top of her lungs.

"JUDGEMENT!"

BOOOOOM! The energy she had sent into the sky crashed down as if from the heavens by a god upon her imaginary foe, bringing him to his knees, pressing him into the ground, and then exploding. The explosion sent Pan flying and knocked the Kaio-Ken out of her.

She laid on the ground, huffing and puffing with exhaustion before a grin slowly spread across her face. "Awesome... my own attack..."

Chamber Day 92

Three months, Pan was pretty sure she had been in here for around three months. It was time to measure he progress. She felt a little giddy and eager, she had been looking up to Aideen and Odianna since her training with the Kaio-Ken had begun. She would always respect and adore her Grandpa, but, these were the first two woman fighters she had ever met. Miss 18 was strong, but she never really fought. Pan was eager to compare herself to her two teachers and friends.

"Times fifteen!" Pan cried out!

Wooosh! The Kaio-Ken engulfed her and held. She could hold the Kaio-Ken for a bit, and sustain it in bursts for awhile longer. She still felt a little rattled using this level, but it was acceptable. She wasn't up to the twenty that Aideen had, but...

Pan examined her strength. From what she recalled of the day she went into the chamber, she easily matched Aideen's power at times twenty, maybe even stronger...

Eight years old and already about to dwarf her friends power at age twenty. Just by being part Saiyan she could easily spit on so many years of hard work and training. She felt a little ashamed. At least when Aideen burst up to twenty-five and thirty, she was still ahead of Pan, but, not for much longer. Not to mention, those levels were a one time thing, they would gut Aideen's power for the rest of a battle.

Pan relaxed her Kaio-Ken and moved to sit on the steps, wondering where to go from here. Even if she was as strong as Aideen, she couldn't actually match a regular Super Saiyan, probably not even a first time Super Saiyan. Forget about the grade forms, which we far stronger. A mastered Super Saiyan, or a Super Saiyan 2 could probably kill her just by looking at her funny.

Ah what a buzz kill...

Oh well, she was only three months in, she still had another nine to go...
