Pan took a disgusted look around them. "Earth again... is she going to have us kill our family again?!"

Vegeta crossed his arms. "I don't feel us anywhere to be honest... except..."

Goku frowned. "You feel that Vegeta?"

Vegeta nodded. "Freeza."

Pan put a hand on her hip. "Him again? Well, its better than fighting our family and friends. Though, he and that Ginyu guy did nothing last time, what is Towa expecting?"

Goku eyed her. "This isn't the same Freeza, Pan. I can feel the difference."

Vegeta cracked his knuckles. "Kakarot, he's mine this time around. I'm going to pound that gold form of his into the ground!"

Pan blinked a few times and searched her memory. The tale of 'Golden Freeza'. The tyrant had trained for a few months and gotten a absolutely ridiculous power boost, being able to match the power of Super Saiyan Blue. She nodded slowly to herself, she'd be able to see the story in action then. They began to fly towards the source of power.

"So, what do you think Towa changed?" asked Goku.

"Probably got Freeza to train to master his Golden Form if I had to guess," said Vegeta, his voice eager.

"Even if she did, there's no way he would have been able to take both of us," said Goku.

Vegeta shrugged. "There's only one way to find out."

Pan subdued and suppressed her guilt over the destruction of Vegetto's timeplane and focused on the here and now. She stretched out her senses, probing the tyrant off in the distance, but wait... next to him...

"Is that Trunks?" asked Pan with disbelief, "What's he doing with Freeza?"

The group stopped momentarily, she could see the others concentrating to confirm.

Anger flashed across Vegeta's face. "Freeza, you bastard...

Vegeta exploded forward, not bothering to mask his energy. The rest of them raised their ki and raced after him. Finally, they stopped over a gigantic palace in front of a lake. Standing over a ledge, looking up at them, was Freeza. Unlike the one Pan had seen last time, he was in his final form. Next to him stood a depressed Trunks in Saiyan armor. Weirdly, he held a tray of wine in his right hand.

Freeza looked up at them, a smirk on his face. "Ah yes, a group of monkeys and a god, right on schedule as the demon woman said."

Freeza turned to Trunks. "Boy, head the the wine cellar and fetch me one of my favorites for after the battle would you? I want one of Earth's most refined wines for this occasion."

Trunks hesitated briefly, glancing up at Vegeta and the others.

Freeza made a tsking sound and waged a finger at him. "They died before with the uttermost ease, if you believe these fools will do any better than your real family than you are mistaken. Lest you want me to kill your mother, you best hurry."

Trunks bowed his head, misery on his face. "Yes, Lord Freeza."

Pan shivered, feeling a wave of raw and pure hatred emanate from Vegeta's ki as Trunks left to obey.

The man flew down and landed a ways from Freeza. "You son of a bitch... how dare you..."

"Oh? You seem rather upset about something dear Vegeta," said Freeza with glee, "Could it be because I put your son in his place like you used to be? Under my foot obeying my every command, that's the only place you monkeys deserve to be, on a leash."

Vegeta ascended to Super Saiyan Blue, a rage unlike anything Pan had ever seen on his face. "I'm... I'm going to BUTCHER YOU!"

Freeza held up a finger. "Ah ah ah, one moment Vegeta, not all parties are present yet."

Vegeta gave him a momentarily confused and puzzled look before a heavy and powerful footfall emanated from the palace. Pan's eyes went wide as a tall, Freeza look alike, emerged from the palace, and stopped suppressing his ki. His was far taller, and far more muscular than Freeza was. His skin looked a little wrinkled, but otherwise, he looked to be a far older and more mature Freeza.

Freeza smirked at him. "Just like the demon woman said. The monkeys are back for more, father."

Vegeta gave a start. "King Cold?!"

Cold grinned and spoke with a deep, powerful voice. "What's the matter Vegeta? You look like you've seen a ghost."

Gohan frowned. "He looks nothing like the King Cold of our timeline..."

Cold looked up at him. "That, foolish monkey, is because your time traveling 'Trunks' killed me in my second form, before I could transform."

Gohan's face turned pure white. "That was only his second form?! If he had transformed back then..."

Cold grinned. "None of you would have stood a chance against me."

A nervous bead of sweat rolled down Goku's face. "Okay, well, two of them, both probably with gold forms. That might explain things."

"Two?" mocked Cold, "You are forgetting someone else."

From the palace walked a third member of Freeza's species. While his form was similar to the first two, his coloring was different. He was far more purple, and the metallic orb on his head was thin and blue instead of large and purple like the others.

"Cooler...," muttered Goku.

Cooler looked up and grinned. "Surprised to see me, monkey?"

"Okay... this might be bad," said Chronoa fearfully.

Purple energy began to engulf the three members of the cold family, their energy rising rapidly. Goku and Gohan immediately turned Super Saiyan Blue, flew down to stand next to Vegeta, and braced themselves.

"BEHOLD!" roared King Cold, "BEHOLD THE MIGHT OF MY CLAN!"

All three of them, their muscles bulged and their power erupted far beyond what Pan could wrap her mind around. The grew a few inches, and their color scheme changed. Freeza turned gold and purple. Cooler turned Silver and white. Cold turned platinum and gray. Their aura's changed to match their primary colors, gold, silver, and platinum. Pan trembled, their power had exploded to the point where she couldn't even properly probe them with her senses without a viscous feedback effect, they might as well have god ki and be un-sensable.

Pan's eyes danced back and forth between the cold family and her family/friends. Vegeta, Goku, and Gohan looked utterly shocked and surprised. She didn't need to be able to feel their god ki to know how nervous they were. All of them however, weren't paying attention to Freeza or Cooler. Vegeta, Goku, and Gohan were all locking eyes on Cold. So was Chronoa, and she looked terrified. It occurred to her suddenly that Chronoa, being a god, must be able to sense god ki. She might be able to properly compare Cold's power.

"How strong is Cold?" asked Pan.

Chronoa nervously answered, "I... I-I don't know."

"What do you mean you don't know?" hissed Pan.

"I'm not a fighting god! I rule over and help direct the flow of time. Battle isn't part of why I was created. As such, things of that nature weren't woven into my creation. I was forced to learn a few things of that nature from my Time Patrollers and from when I had to face Demigra in the far past, but that's it!" explained Chronoa.

Demigra? Pan sounded the name over in her mind, but it brought up no memories. She had never heard of or met someone with that name before. Still, despite knowing nothing about him, the name 'Demigra' left a bad taste in her mouth.

"I'll fight Cold," said Goku, trying to sound calm.

"Kakarot," said Vegeta, "I will only ask this once, are you sure you can handle him?"

Pan blanked for a moment, had she just heard CONCERN from Vegeta towards her Grandpa? Just how strong was Cold?!

Goku sheepishly scratched the back of his head. "Not really, this is probably going to hurt a lot. You and Gohan are going to need to hurry with your own fights."

Vegeta scowled. "I wanted to take my time with Freeza, a shame."

"Ho ho ho," mocked Freeza, "If you think you can match me Vegeta it will be my pleasure to crush such fool thoughts."

Cooler crossed his arms and scowled, looking at Gohan. "So I have to clean up the trash? He couldn't even stand up to us for a second last time around."

Gohan glared at him. "I'm far stronger than I was when Freeza attacked us in our own timeline."

Cooler smirked. "Is that so? I hope you don't bore me, boy. After all, you bored me so much with your pleading and mercy talk the last time we met that I couldn't help but bring your beaten form along as I killed your friends, destroyed your city, and found your dear wife and daughter to torture and kill before your eyes. Which reminds me, that girl floating up there, is she your child all grown up? I wouldn't mind killing her twice..."

Cooler didn't get another word off before Gohan gave a cry of rage and smashed a fist into his face, sending him flying. Gohan immediately pursued him and kept smashing him around like a rag doll, knocking him into the distance.

No one else had moved yet.

Freeza chuckled to himself. "My oh my, how I almost wish I could be that monkey right now smashing my oh so dear brother's face in."

"Now Freeza," scolded Cold, "You should play nice with your brother."

"Oh if I must father," said Freeza, his tone bored.

"Stop ignoring me you damn lizard!" roared Vegeta.

"Now Vegeta, why would I need to pay attention...," began Freeza.

The tyrant disappeared and sucker punched Vegeta, smashing him down the cliff and into the lake below. "...to someone so weak?"

Freeza took a brief moment to smirk at Goku. "I wouldn't mind killing you a second time, but my revenge has already been sated. I hope you enjoy your time, bonding, with my father, ho ho ho."

Goku wordlessly watched Freeza descend the cliff and move to engage Vegeta who exploded from the water and rushed to engage him. Goku crossed his arms and turned to King Cold, studying him.

Pan watched it all from above, hoping and praying her Grandpa could come through...

Goku gave King Cold a once over with his eyes, wondering how he was going to pull this off. From what he could sense, Cold was far strong than Freeza right now, and this Freeza was FAR more powerful than the Golden Freeza he had fought himself. It was more than obvious to them that the tyrant and his family had continued to train after taking over the Earth.

Goku decided to start off with small talk and try to see just how similar Cold was to his son. "I'll admit, from what I sense, you're pretty strong."

Cold half-bowed and mocked. "How kind of you to say."

Cold flashed him a menacing smile. "But in truth, you have no idea. We haven't even started getting fighting, let alone warmed up yet."

Goku forced himself to remain calm, that wicked smile told him all he needed to know about Cold's personality. But, what Cold had said, he was either bluffing, or Goku knew he was REALLY in over his head. He was going to need his Kaio-Ken to even keep up with him. If Cold was drastically holding back, like Freeza had done at first when they had fought on Namek, he would burst up to a times twenty if need be to try and match him. Well, there was only one way to find out...

"Kaio-Ken!" Goku cried out, letting the red aura overlap with his blue one, and rushed at Cold.

They began exchanging blows, neither putting to much effort into it, trying to feel out the others power. Goku received the short end of their first spar, feeling the first crushing blow hit his face and floor him to the ground. Cold casually stepped over him and put his hands behind his own back, clasping them together and walking around as he waited for Goku to stand up.

"I'm disappointed monkey, I'm not even trying and you've already been beaten down once," mocked Cold.

Goku rubbed his sore face and eyed the tyrant. "Yeah well, don't count me out yet. Kaio-ken times five!"

Goku's power jumped and he rushed at Cold...

"HOW DARE YOU ENSLAVE MY SON!" screamed Vegeta in mind numbing rage, cocking his fist and smashing it into Freeza's face, sending him sprawling away.

Freeza stopped and righted himself, a momentary flash of anger on his face before he calmed. "Temper temper my favorite pet monkey. If you surrender, I may release him from his direct service to me, send him out as a purger, and let you take his place. After all, your son is a poor replacement for you, he lacks that spark of foolish defiance that I so enjoyed beating out of your eyes time and time again. He's just no fun."

Vegeta rushed him and threw another punch, which Freeza caught and then used to twist his arm around and pin it behind his back. "Oh Vegeta, just like on Namek, how could you ever think you could defy me?"

"LIKE THIS!" roared Vegeta, swinging his foot up to boot Freeza's forehead.

Freeza gave a startled cry and flew backwards, clutching his head. "Damn monkey prince! I'll..."

Vegeta was in front of him before he could react and backhanded the tyrant across his face, drawing blood. "You'll what Freeza?"

Freeza glared at him. "I'll break you."

Vegeta let his rage simmer and boil. "Oh really? You failed to do that my entire time that I had to endure your rule. What makes you think you'll succeed this time?"

Freeza smirked. "Because this time, you actually have someone you care for. I already have your family under my thumb and..."

Vegeta's gaze darkened. "You fool... you dare? You dare to try and use them against me?"

He threw back his head and laughed. "That might have mattered in my own timeline, but, I already know the fate of my family here."

He brought down his head, sad look on his face. "As much as I loath it, they are fated to die when you and your family do. To be honest, their deaths are a kindness to them in itself, freedom from their enslavement to you. It's a kindness I almost wish someone had given to me when I was a child before you could get your hands on me."

Vegeta began to shake, allowing his rage to overtake him. "Before this is over Freeza, I swear to you, you will know the HELL I lived in under you rule, and you will BEG for mercy, and I will deny you it!"

Gohan threw himself at Cooler, smashing into him with punches and kicks as hard as he could over and over again. "They were innocent! How could you just murder my family in cold blood?"

Cooler blocked a hit and countered, jabbing Gohan's face and forcing him back. "You know, you said the same thing to me last time before I killed you, and do you know what my response was?"

Gohan glared at him. "Probably something cold-hearted and merciless."

Cooler smirked. "Touche, you know my family well."

Cooler released a barrage of death beams, forcing Gohan to dodge and continue to dodge. "You know Cooler, my daughter uses that move better than you do."

Cooler stopped suddenly, disbelief on his face. "She uses my clan's move?"

Gohan surged forward and smashed a knee into Cooler's face and floored him to the ground. "Yeah, and like I said, she does it better without even one percent of your power."

Cooler exploded towards him. "You DARE mock me?"

Gohan jumped over Cooler's attack and smashed a leg into the back of his head, knocking him to his knees. "Yeah, I dare. To be honest, we've only just begun and I can tell you wont really be a challenge. Freeza is stronger, and your father is far beyond either of your levels."

Cooler rose to his feet and turned towards Gohan, a smirk on his face. "Oh? Is that right?"

Gohan frowned for a second, wondering where this confidence he saw on Cooler's face came from. "Yeah, I hope you don't mind, but, I'm not going to bother wasting my time here with you for long."

Cooler's smirk transformed into a grin. "Perhaps you are correct. In THIS form I am no match for either my brother or father."

Gohan narrowed his eyes. "Your point?"

"Tell me, monkey, did we meet in your timeline?" asked Cooler.

"Briefly, you fought my dad, and he crushed you when he went Super Saiyan, even with your fifth form," said Gohan.

"Ah! So you know of my fifth form, good, that makes this explanation easier for your little monkey brain to understand," jabbed Cooler.

"This 'silver' form you see me in now is an extension of my very being, its not exactly its own transformation like Freeza and my father in their sealed forms that limit their power," explained Cooler, a devious look on his face.

"As such, it is not confined to just one form. Now, CONSIDER," shouted Cooler.

Cooler's body grew in size, his muscles bulged, his ki surged, and connected horns grew out of his head as a face mask slide over his mouth, "WHAT HAPPENS WHEN I COMBINE MY FIFTH FORM AND MY SILVER FORM!"

Gohan took a step back, shock on his face. "Unreal..."

Cooler burst forward and slammed a fist into Gohan's stomach, lifting him up into the air and then slamming him to the ground with a swat of his tail. "Yes monkey, my power is 'unreal'."

Cooler picked him up and drove a knee into him before backhanding him to the ground, a savage glee in his voice, "When this day is done, all of my foes; you, your father, your child, the god, the monkey prince, my brother, and my father shall lay dead at my feet and I will rule the universe!"

He stalked forward and slammed a foot down on Gohan's chest, causing him to scream in pain...

Pan was sweating buckets, trying to watch all three fights going on from her vantage point in the air. Only Vegeta looked like he was somewhat winning. Cold was toying with Grandpa, who had gone Kaio-Ken times ten, and dad was getting obliterated after Cooler transformed. She trembled fearfully, she rarely ever felt doubt in her families ability to fight and win, but this was insane. The Cold Clan was evenly matching, and even overpowering them. She had always been told that back in the day, these guys were just brainless unskilled brutes who relied on raw power to enslave the universe with their Planet Trade Organization. That was clearly not the case now, they had trained to fully hone and bring out their power and abilities. They fought with skill and intelligence, and it was obvious they could feel ki and react around that.

She gulped. "They... they can't win..."

"Have faith, they'll pull through," said Chronoa, "They've come through worse."

She hesitated, wanting to believe her, but froze when another agonized scream from her father. She glanced towards his part of the battle, seeing him pinned against a wall and being hit over and over again. This was to much, she couldn't just watch this happen! She gave a cry of fury and ascended to Super Saiyan 2, rushing down towards her father and Cooler.

"Pan wait! Stop!" cried out Chronoa.

Pan ignored her and cupped a hand to her side. "Kamehameha!"

She released the energy wave at Cooler and watched it hit him, exploding and sending dust everywhere. When it cleared, Cooler still stood, definitely unharmed, but it had the desired effect of stopping his beat down of her father. Cooler turned his head and locked eyes with her. A shiver ran down Pan's spine. Cooler blurred, dropping Gohan, and reappearing directly infront of Pan. She froze, fear paralyzing her. Rather than attack, Cooler studied her.

"Tell me child, your father says you can use my Clan's move, the death beam, would you care to demonstrate?" inquired Cooler with interest.

Pan steeled herself, the more time she could buy her father to recover his strength, the better. She glared hatefully at him and aimed a finger at his right eye, unleashing a purple beam of energy. When he didn't even bother to dodge or block it, allowing it to hit his eye and do nothing, she couldn't help but grate her teeth in frustration. She knew she was severely outclassed, but that was just insulting.

Cooler let out a hearty chuckle. "My my my, so he was telling the truth after all. You can use my Clan's move, and you focus the beam quite well. Had we been remotely similar in strength, you would have put that beam through my skull. Bravo, now..."

Cooler disappeared and reappeared behind her, grabbing her hair and yanking her head back, causing her to scream. "Would you care to indulge just where you learned it from?"

She spit up at his face. "From one of your kind who wasn't a complete monster!"

Cooler smirked. "Is that so? Care to give me a name?"

"Zeroes," spat Pan.

Cooler grew puzzled. "That's not a name I'm familiar with. Mayhaps some outcast dredge or something. Perhaps after this I'll go and hunt him down. Now, to continue..."

Cooler turned and aimed a finger down at Gohan, who was far below on the ground panting and trying to catch his breath. "I disagree with his assessment of your death beam being better than mine. Shall we compare?"

"DAD LOOK OUT!" screamed Pan.

Gohan barely managed to throw himself out of the way before a death beam could blow through his skull. Gohan continued to run and scramble out of a deadly barrage of beams until one caught the back his left leg and blew clean through it. Gohan screamed and fell to the ground. Pan's eyes went wide with fear and she gave a cry, smashing an elbow into Cooler's face, only to watch it do nothing to the tyrant. Cooler gave a chuckle and threw Pan to the ground. The impact was jarring and crushing, leaving a crater and knocking her out of Super Saiyan 2. She buried her face into the ground in shame, just a toss to the ground and he had already beaten her...

"You know, I was cruel last time, making you watch your wife and child die before you. Perhaps I'll try letting the child witness the parent's death first, how does that sound monkey?" asked Cooler with merciless glee as he landed next to Gohan.

Pan watched, her fear growing more and more as Cooler stalked forward and kicked Gohan's face, bloodying his nose. "Dad... no... no... please no..."

Her entire body trembled in a level of fear she had only known few times in her life. Once when Odianna had been about to kill her, and once when she had been delirious near death after her fight with Kojin. Her father was going to die, and there was nothing she could do about it. After him, she'd die, then Cooler would go tip the tide against Vegeta and finish Grandpa off. No no no no no!

A faint green glow began to shimmer around Pan's body. "Daddy..."

Cooler began to beat Gohan, kicking up into the air and then punching him over and over again before backhanding him to the ground. "Pathetic monkey. For all the power you gained, its worthless before my might! Now DIE!"

Pan's eyes bulged, she screamed at the top of her lungs, her green aura growing in size. "DADDY!" and suddenly lost consciousness.

Gohan laid on the ground, his Super Saiyan Blue form lost, staring up at Cooler defiantly. "Do your worst..."

Cooler chuckled and pointed a finger at him. "As you wis-."

"LEAVE MY DADDY ALONE!" came a primal scream from Pan.

Pan in her base state, coated with small aura of green energy, came out of nowhere and smashed a fist into Cooler's face. Gohan watched, in disbelief, as she cracked his face visor and sent him flying. What the hell!? How did Pan just do that? Pan flew after Cooler and began to beat him into the ground, screaming in mad terror the entire time despite the fact that she was devastating her opponent. Her ki was completely erratic, chaotic, and uncontrolled, radiating her fear.

"You WRETCHED monkey child!" shouted Cooler, rising to his feet and backhanding Pan across her face, sending her reeling back.

Pan staggered a bit and feel to her knees, clutching her head suddenly. She gave a horrific scream of pain and fear before green energy erupted out of her body. For a brief moment, Gohan watched as her eyes and hair adopted the color of the green glow that surrounded her body. In one brief motion, faster than Gohan could follow, Pan embedded her fist into Cooler's gut, driving it completely through his body, elbow deep. The tyrant stood there, stunned, before he fell backwards and to the ground. Pan stood there, trembling, before she fell to her knees and then fell backwards as well, losing the green glow and coloring, and her eyes closing.

Gohan rose to his feet and limped over, staring down at his daughter in disbelief. That green energy, that was the same thing he had seen coat her when she had teleported from one dimension to another, but, it hadn't changed her hair nor her eye colors last time, nor had it given her power. The raw power he had briefly felt from her when her hair and eyes had changed colors... it eclipsed them all. Just what in the world WAS that green energy?

Goku and Cold had frozen, their fists inches from eachother's faces. Both of their heads were turned, staring off in the distance towards where Gohan and Cooler had been fighting. Slowly, they separated and exchanged glances.

"Tell me, monkey, what we felt just now, was that...," Cold began uneasily.

"Pan," whispered Goku, not understanding how Pan had just momentarily gained such an insane amount of energy.

Goku let his Kaio-Ken aura drop, mindful to keep an eye on Cold, but the elder tyrant was to stunned to act. They both were. He could feel Cooler's life-force fade away. Somehow, Pan had just killed him, and easily. One moment Cooler had been at huge pinnacle of power, then within thirty seconds he was dead. What in the hell...

Vegeta held a bloody and battered Freeza in a choke hold, but felt too paralyzed to finish the job. He released Freeza, ignoring the tyrant and merely staring off into the distance towards where Gohan and Cooler had been fighting.

Freeza grated his teeth nervously. "Vegeta, EXPLAIN, NOW! What the hell was that?"

Vegeta's rage and hatred had expired the moment the sensation of Pan's energy had washed over him, and despite himself, he found himself answering, "I don't know..."

Towa watched through her crystal ball in disbelief. "What the hell was that?! How did she just gain that enormous amount of power?"

The other Towas and her brother Dabura watched silently, grave looks on their faces.

Towa ran a hand through her hair, agitation coating her face. "Without all three of them its over. The Cold Clan should have won this, all that time wasted... just what the hell was that?"

She growled and rose to her feet, clenching her fists. "No more games, I need a guaranteed way to kill them, whatever that power was, it needs to be exterminated, and I think I know just the god to do that for me."

A sly grin spread across her face as she pointed her Demon Time Ring, created a tear in space and time, and walked through it...

Gohan looked up, seeing Chronoa flying towards them. She landed, spared Pan one very confused and somewhat fearful glance, before she knelt down and healed Gohan's leg and then the rest of his body. He her a curt nod as thanks before resuming staring at his daughter, trying to wrap his mind around what had just happened.

"Gohan, I'll look after her, you have to go help the others," said Chronoa.

Gohan took one last look at his daughter, not sure if he should be fearful or awed, before he nodded and took off. Vegeta would probably be mad, but he ought to help finish Freeza so they could both help against Cold. He flew over Goku and Cold, noting that they weren't fighting anymore, merely looking in Pan's direction. Dad looked a bit worse for the wear, but this downtime would let him regain his strength. He kept on flying and stopped far above Vegeta and Freeza. Both of them had stopped fighting as well.

Gohan moved a bit behind them and began to descend, waiting until he was level with them before shouting. "Vegeta!"

He burst forward, turning Super Saiyan Blue, and smashed Freeza towards Vegeta. The man recovered from his surprised and slammed a fist into Freeza's face. They knocked the tyrant back and forth a bit before Freeza recovered and flew away from them, trying to gain some distance. They pursued immediately, launching ki blasts to keep him off balance. Vegeta put on speed, overtaking the tyrant and kicking him up into the air.

"Galick Gun!" shouted Vegeta, shooting a beam that hit the tyrant and exploded.

Freeza fell out of the air and slammed into the ground below, losing his gold form. Vegeta landed next to him, held out a hand, and blasted him into oblivion without another word. Vegeta glanced up at Gohan and they took off towards Goku and Cold.

"Gohan, what the hell was that?" shouted Vegeta as they flew.

"Finish with Cold first," said Gohan, "I'll try and explain after. To be honest, I'm really not sure."

They landed next to Goku a moment later, who was having a stare-down with Cold.

The elder Tyrant looked annoyed. "So, both of my children have perished. Pathetic. I suppose if you want something done right..."

Cold gave a roar, and his muscles and power exploded in size. "...you have to do it yourself!"

Goku tensed. "It's like Freeza's one-hundred percent form on Namek, huge power, chugs energy."

Cold smirked. "All power comes with some kind of price."

Cold blurred and disappeared, reappearing and planting a fist deep into Vegeta's gut, doubling him over before smacking Gohan to the ground with his tale before rushing at Goku.

"Kaio-Ken times twenty!" shouted Goku, dropping all pretenses and rushed Cold.

They smashed into eachother, exchanging blows as fast as they could. Gohan rose to his feet and glanced up at them. He couldn't intervene in this, it was far out of his level. He sorely wished he had asked how to use the Kaio-Ken with Super Saiyan Blue. Vegeta rose to his feet and joined him, staring up at the titanic struggle going on between Cold and Goku.

"There both going to drain themselves rapidly," warned Vegeta.

Gohan nodded. "We will have to be ready to intervene at a moments notice."

Both of them cringed and raised their arms to brace themselves as a shockwave of energy hit them. Gohan glanced up to see Cold and Goku grappling one another, hands crushingly gripping one another. Energy sparked and rained from them, bombarding the area below them. Both Cold and Goku began to yell, their power swelling and aura's increasing in size.

"Show offs," muttered Vegeta, an annoyed vein throbbing on his forehead.

WHAM

Both of them broke loose of the grapple and sucker punched one another, smashing into eachothers chins. They both spun away, stopped themselves, and immediately rushed back towards each other. Gohan watched, both with his eyes and senses, as their power started rapidly dropping. Cold's muscles started deflating, and Goku's Kaio-Ken aura started shrinking.

Gohan cupped his hands to his side, assuming the kamehameha stance, and waited. Vegeta followed suit, readying himself to use a final flash.

"You filthy monkey! You dare lay a hand on me?!" roared Cold, backhanding Goku away in a fit of rage.

"Kamehameha!" shouted Gohan.

"Final Flash!" roared Vegeta.

The energy waves exploaded from them and rushed towards Cold. The elder tyrant glanced down at them, scowling with annoyance. He raised his arms and braced himself. To his surprise, Goku came at him from behind, booted the back of his head, unbalancing and causing him to drop his guard as the energy waves neared.

ZIP

Goku instant transmissioned away as the energy wave hit the surprised Cold and exploded. The tyrant fell out of the dust cloud and hit the ground, hard, groaning in pain.

"Damn filthy monkeys!" hissed Cold, trying to rise to his feet.

Vegeta planted a boot on the back of his neck. "That's enough out of you."

Vegeta smirked. "Its a shame this has to end. You under my boot is exactly where your kind belongs."

"Vegeta, end it," ordered Gohan.

Goku nodded, huffing and puffing, dropping out of his Super Saiyan Blue state, "Y-yeah..."

Vegeta scowled, blew a hole through the back of Cold's head, and rushed off towards Chronoa, the others following suit, flying fast to escape the grayness of stopped time spreading from Cold. They landed next to the god, who was sitting next to an unconscious Pan. Chronoa raised a hand and formed a time barrier, shielding them. They all sat down and stared at Pan silently.

"So, what happened?" asked Goku.

Gohan scratched his head. "Well, I'm not really sure. Cooler was beating me to death, and Pan kind of freaked out. She started glowing green, like she did when she teleported between dimensions, and crushed him. For a moment, right when her power spiked, her hair and eyes also turned green. She pretty much one-shot him when that happened."

"So she was a green Super Saiyan?" asked Goku with confusion.

Gohan shook his head. "No, her hair was normal, not spiked, and her power didn't feel like she was in a Super Saiyan state."

Vegeta rubbed his chin in thought. "Hmm, I doubt this energy has anything to do with being a Saiyan. It seems far more happened to Pan when she was swallowed by that portal than just gaining the ability to travel to other dimensions."

"So, are you gonna heal her or what?" Goku asked Chronoa.

The Kaishin of Time scowled at him. "I did! She's ki exhausted at the moment, physical injuries have nothing to do with it. Give her time to rest and wake up."

Goku winced. "Oh, sorry."

Vegeta crossed his arms, rubbing his forehead. "I ought to be pissed, you and your family always seem to be one step ahead of me, but..."

"That was like ten steps," said Goku bashfully, "Heh, Pan, you always complained about not being strong enough. That sure ain't the case anymore."

Gohan frowned intently. "I'm not sure she had any control of it dad. That was the first time I've ever seen her use that energy to fight, and when she was using it, she seemed completely out of it."

He sighed and reached over, ruffling Pan's hair. "I just hope she'll be alright..."

Pan flinched at the touch, groaning and slowly opening her eyes. "D-dad...?"

Gohan leaned his head over and kissed her forehead. "Hey Pan, how are you feeling?"

She stared up at him in a daze. "You... beat... Cooler?"

He hesitated, looking up to exchange glances with Goku and Vegeta. "Umm..."

"Yeah he did, it was really close," lied Chronoa all of the sudden.

Gohan frowned at her. "Supreme Kai of Time..."

Chronoa held up a finger to silence him.

Pan nodded weakly, her eyes drooping. "Good... I'm glad... you..."

Pan's head tilted to her side and she passed out before she could get another word off.

Gohan glared at Chonoa. "Why would you lie to her?"

"Because, that's to much power for someone to handle at her age. You SAW what it did to her, you felt that chaotic ki. She had absolutely no control over it, nor any memory what happened. If you tell her about that power, she'll seek it out nonestop, what happens if she figures out how to use it and accidentally kills someone with it? None of you would be able to stop her if she went ballistic," warned Chronoa.

Gohan crossed his arms. "I seem to remember you telling us to have faith in Pan."

Chronoa glared at him. "Yeah, well, there's a difference between an intentionally evil act, and her having no control over herself and harming others. To be honest, I think we should drop her off back in the real timestream, she's to dangerous to keep with us at the moment."

"What if she found out back at home and none of us were there? That'd be even worse," said Goku.

Vegeta nodded. "Agreed, we need to finish up this Towa business, kill the damn witch, and then head back and deal with this new development with the grandbrat. Kai, get us some food, wait for the grandbrat to wake up and eat, then we leave..."
