In that split second before the two bodies hit, Goku acted on instinct. "STOP!"

The pure, raw desperation in Pan's voice scared him, it scared him to the depths of his soul. He rushed for them, but it was to late. Pan and the Doll's bodies collided, and an explosion and shockwave erupted from them that sent Goku crashing to the ground. Goku looked up, instead of seeing a merged body, a huge ball of energy floated there and began to rise into the air. Red lightning began to race along the energy. He braced himself as shockwaves began to rip from the energy, sending cracks in the earth below them.

"HERESY!" screamed the Elder Kai.

Goku looked at him. "What?"

"ITS HERESY!" screamed the Elder Kai.

Goku looked at the ball of energy sparking with red lightning, growing confused. "What's going on? Why aren't they fusing?"

"Because you idiot!" yelled the Elder Kai, "A Potara fusion is supposed to be a willing fusion! The Doll forced it! She FORCED Pan into the soul merge!"

Goku frowned. "Like you and that old witch?"

The Elder Kai scoffed. "Hardly, the difference is the intent, and with godly magic, that makes all the difference! My fusion was accidental, there was no malice or ill will about it. And while that witch was a greedy old bat, she wasn't that bad at heart. When they began the process, they recognized and accepted what was happening, grudgingly if I must say, they didn't struggle or battle against the process, they let it happen. This though?"

The Elder Kai shook his head with disgust. "This is forced, one will against the other, one will trying to dominate and subjugate while the other tries to survive. It's practically soul rape! I don't... I don't know whats going to happen. Souls are not meant to be forcibly fused like this. I fear for her, I fear for Pan's soul."

A sick feeling forced its way into Goku's stomach. Why? Why had he just stood there and watched until it was too late? Goku gave a startled cry and fell to a knee as another shockwave, the strongest one yet, ripped out of the energy and cracked the Capsule Corp building.

"Then we have to stop this!" cried out Gohan.

"No!" yelled the Elder Kai, "If you try to interfere now you might destroy both of their souls! All we can do is wait out the fusion and pray for Pan's soul."

Goku watched, feeling nervous, as the energy ball began to spin and churn. "W-what's happening now?"

"If I had to guess, a struggle," murmured the Elder Kai, "But, this isn't supposed to be a struggle. It's supposed to be a seamless, near instant transition."

"Has anything like this ever happened before?" asked Vegeta.

The Elder Kai frowned. "The last time a forced Potara fusion happened was well before my time, I think even before Beerus's time, back in the last God of Destruction's term. I know basically nothing about it except that its forbidden, that its an ultimate heresy."

"Oh Pan," whispered Videl weakly, "Please be okay."

"Pan's strong, she won't let that Doll win!" said Gohan with conviction.

"This isn't about winning or losing Gohan," said the Elder Kai, "Despite what that Doll might have said or thought, the Potara fusion is NEITHER yet BOTH Pan and the Doll. It is its own being made up of their souls, minds, and personalities. But, forced like this, I have no clue about how the outcome will turn out."

Suddenly, the red lightning faded away and the energy began to shrink. It began to outline the form of a girl about the same size as Pan had been. Inch by inch, the energy faded, revealing the fused body that had formed underneath it's power.

Goku's eyes went wide with shock as he took in the sight. It was HER. This fusion... it was HER! His mind shot back to the moment he had been about to make his wish to get rid of the Omni-Kings at the end of the first Universal Survival Tournament. The girl who had appeared that he had thought to be his granddaughter, the one who had stopped him from making the wish. She wasn't Pan, she was the Potara Fusion that had just formed infront of his very eyes. He stared at her, pure disbelief coating his face.

The Potara Fusion floated in the air, her eyes closed. It's clothes were a mix of the Kaioshin robes the Doll had worn, and the Turtle/Fox Hermit Gis Pan had worn. The top half was more Kaioshin, lightly dyed a white, orange hue with black outlines. The bottom half was separated by a black belt. Rather than be baggy pants, the bottom half was Gi like clothes in the same color as the top. Her feet were a strange cross between the black shoes Pan had, the Kaioshin shoes the Doll had worn. Her hair was black. Her earrings had strangely changed colors, rather than be the green the earrings had been before, they were a dark red, like the lightning coating the energy ball had been.

Slowly, the Potara Fusion descended to the ground and landed with a soft thud on her feet. She stood there, eyes closed, not moving, not speaking.

Nothing happened for about a minute before Videl spoke. "What's going on? She's not doing anything..."

The Elder Kai frowned. "The bodies may have fused, but, the mind and soul might still be struggling."

Vegeta crossed his arms. "Hmph. I thought a Potara fusion was supposed to be powerful, I hardly feel a damn thing coming from..."

They all stopped, their eyes going wide, as a ripple in the ground emanated from the Potara fusion. Goku began to sweat as he felt her ki heavily rise. So this is what it was like to feel a Saiyan Potara fusion's energy, rather than just be a part of it. Slowly, the fusion opened her eyes, revealing, to Goku's confusion, red irises.

"Neither of them had red eyes," Goku murmured in confusion.

"The earrings weren't red either," said Gohan.

"The eyes are said to be the gateway to the soul," said the Elder Kai, "You all saw the red negative energy that forced fusion created. The fusion is marred, an improper merging of soul and body. There will be many strange things to represent that, in body and mind I'd imagine."

The Fusion held up a hand and looked it over. "..."

She lowered her gaze, slowly examining herself, she spoke with one single voice, rather than a double echo. "This is... me?"

She clenched a fist, a little bit of ki engulfing it. "My... ki?"

Goten grew confused. "She seems surprised?"

Trunks nodded slowly. "Yeah, that's kind of weird. We never did this when first became Gotenks."

Goku said nothing, but, he was equally confused. He didn't remember Vegetto doing this either when he and Vegeta had temporarily fused. The fusion had instantly been aware of himself and had moved right to fight Majin Buu after a brief show off of power, same with Vegetto against Zamasu. The Elder Kai was right, this was going to be strange.

"Memories... I'm... Pan and the Doll?" whispered the Fusion in disbelief.

A dark look crossed her face. "The Doll..."

She spoke with hatred, "If the Doll was right in front of me, I'd strangle the life out of her for what she did to Pan."

"Hmph," said the Elder Kai, "Even that abomination knows what the Doll did was wrong."

Beerus landed a ways away from the Fusion. "So, shall we continue where we left off before Son Goku interrupted?"

The Fusion glanced to Beerus and frowned. "I have no real desire to fight you. I'll give you one chance, and only one, to back down. Otherwise, if you attack me, I will defend myself, and I will kill you without hesitation."

Beerus raised an eyebrow. "You seem rather confident of that."

The Fusion smirked. "I am."

"Then I suppose we will have to see," said Beerus.

The Fusion scowled. "I might hate the Doll, but she's right about you damn gods and angels. You act with impunity and disregard for everyone and everything that isn't more powerful than you are."

She turned to glare at up at Whis. "You created the Doll just to steal Pan's power, and then planned to dispose of it afterwords. You might be more despicable than the Doll itself."

"Wait, what?" said Goku.

The Fusion turned to look at him. "That's right Grandpa. The Doll overheard them. I think they feared that green energy Pan could use."

Goku turned and narrowed his eyes, glaring at Beerus. "Is this true?"

Beerus almost looked a little guilty. "Gods will do what they have to do."

Goku felt a huge spike of anger, how could they do this, how could they betray them, betray Pan like that? For what reason? "I can't believe you do something so sickening! You and Whis are the ones who led to this happening, to that forced fusion. You know what Beerus, whatever happens now, happens. I'm not interfering on your behalf."

Vegeta crossed his arms. "Agreed, they reap what they sow, I will not step in."

Beerus scowled. "I do not need your help, nor do I need your approval. Never forget, I am a God of Destruction, its not my job to be fair."

"Oh but you would have needed their help," said the Fusion, an almost sinister grin on her face, "Not that it would have matter. All of you together wouldn't have stood a chance, not against me."

The hair on the back of Goku's neck began to stand up. There was nothing cocky or false in her tone. She was one-hundred percent dead serious in her belief of superiority. Either she was overconfident as hell, or she had something up her sleeve. A nervous bead of sweat dripped down Goku's face. In the fusion's eyes were an unfamiliar, deathly look that hadn't been there even at Pan's worst when she had fought against Coli.

Beerus chuckled. "You are quite sure of yourself, little Paoll."

The Fusion narrowed her eyes. "Excuse me? Paoll?"

Beerus began to mock her. "Didn't you know its proper procedure to mix the names of the fusees for a fusion? Must a god explain everything to a mortal? Since you never introduced yourself, I thought I might as well give you a name."

The Fusion glared at him and spoke with pure malice in her voice. "Like hell you will. Pan was a weakling who refused to follow her own path. She caved into everyone's expectations of her again and again, whether they were her grandpa's or Odianna's, choosing to value other's will over her own. The Doll was a honor-less, conniving, scheming, unforgivable betrayer who'd throw away anyone else's life at a moments notice without a care. I don't want anything to do with either of those two wastes of space."

Goku looked at the Fusion in disbelief. She sounded like she despised, like she hated BOTH Pan and the Doll. She literally treated them as separate, lesser entities. He could understand that feeling towards the Doll, but towards Pan?! From what he could remember, even when he and Vegeta had been fused, Vegetto had always thought of them as two halves of who he was. This loathing and heightened self-importance was completely alien to him. It made him wary of the fusion with Pan's face, because it certainly was NOT his Granddaughter, not anymore...

Beerus seemed amused. "So, what DO you wish to call yourself then?"

The Fusion's face took a passive, uncertain look. "..."

She closed her eyes, thinking it over, and reached a hand up to fiddle with her ear, like a nervous habit. One of her earring's accidentally fell off, she reached down and snapped it out of the air before it could hit the ground and began to put it back on before she paused. Slowly, she brought the earring out in front of her, studying it.

The Fusion grinned. "Potara."

She put the earring back on. "You may call me Potara."

Goku's eyes went wide. Potara, that was the last thing that the Fusion had said before she disintegrated at the Universal Survival Tournament. She had been whispering her own name, as if trying to remember it. Wait a minute...

Goku's face paled as he remembered Bardock's warning...

Bardock turned to Goku. "Kakarot, you remember that person, don't you? The one who stopped you from making a certain wish at the end of the Universal Survival Tournament?"

Goku stiffened, a shocked look crossing his face. "How do you know about... that person?"

Bardock merely smiled and poked his head. "I can see the past too because of the ring."

Goku nodded slowly, his eyes briefly turning towards Pan before going back to Bardock. "What about... that person?"

"When the time comes, and you meet that person again...," began Bardock.

Goku's eyes went wide. "Wait, what? That person's alive?!"

Bardock hesitated. "Not yet... well... in a manner of speaking, ish... grrr, its hard to explain without endangering that future."

Bardock took in a breath and slowly let it out. "When the time comes, and you meet that person again, you need to stop that person from trying to commit the same mistake you were going to make with that wish of yours. If that person tries it, that person will die and everything will spin out of control. When the moment arrives, and you'll know it when it does, tell that person to have faith in 'them'."

Goku stood there in a stupor. Bardock knew, he really, really knew what was going to happen. He understood now why Bardock had spoken carefully about her 'not yet' being alive. But, what Bardock had been hinting at, how far out of control was this going to spiral? Was this seriously going to escalate into Potara challenging the Omni-King himself?! Bardock told him that he couldn't let her, let Potara challenged the Omni-King, if she did, she'd die and everything would go wrong. So then... when was the right time to intervene? He didn't know... for now, he'd watch and wait...

Beerus raised an eyebrow. "Giving no honor to those who created you? Hmph."

Potara scowled at him. "As far as I'm concerned, the earrings and the godly fusion magic themselves deserve the honor, Pan and the Doll were merely the vessels. But enough about that, I'd rather we focus on the here and now..."

Potara's face took an almost maniacal look. "Pan could never figure it out, but the Doll did! She and she alone understood what it took to use Pan's green power."

Beerus narrowed his eyes. "Oh?"

Potara closed her eyes and ground her teeth, her body starting to tremble. "Fear, it was always fear that awakened the power, pure, raw, fear."

Goku's eyes went wide as a faint green aura began to emanate from the Fusion. No way... was she calling to the Green power at will!?

"AHHHHHH! roared Potara.

The sky around her ripped open and four green tears formed. Green energy shot out and flowed into Potara, bathing her in its power. The Earth rattled, the wind picked up, clouds formed, the sky darkened, and bolts of green lightning ripped along the clouds. Potara's ki disappeared a moment later as the infusion of power finished and the unnatural weather faded.

Unlike the last time that Pan had tapped into the power, Potara did not look crazy. She was calm, cool, and collected after the initial wave of fear to summon the power. She had the soft hint of a smirk, incredibly cocky, on her face. Her eyes and hair had gone green, radiating with a power that made his head spin even if he couldn't feel it.

Goku frowned, taking note of something strange. The sky, the air around as far as he could see. It seemed fainter... darker... as if it were drained somehow. It put him on edge, feeling unsure of what had just happened. Had Potara summoning the green power done this? It was unsettling.

Potara threw her arms to the side, closed her eyes, tilted her head back, bliss on her face, breathed in, and then breathed out. "Glorious."

That simple word. It proved to him that Potara was in complete control of the power. He also doubted that the raw drain on Pan's body and ki would affect her either. Not only had both her fuses hit the Super Saiyan Blue level, she was a Potara Fusion, she was now on a whole other level. But... just how strong was she? Back when Pan had been a Super Saiyan 2, the Green Energy had pushed her up to surpassing a very powerful Black in his Rose form. Now? He couldn't fathom how strong she'd be. Both her fusions were god tier in power, and she was a fusion of them. When she went green, her power would be beyond anything he had ever fought before, especially when she went Super Saiyan Green.

Beerus looked at her, perplexed. "A strange transformation."

Potara chuckled softly. "Strange you say? Well cat face, I say your the strange one."

Beerus grew angered for a moment before he strangely calmed himself. "Hmph."

He turned to look up at Whis. "What exactly is this exactly?"

Goku's eyes went wide. Beerus didn't know what this was either? They wanted to take it away from Pan without even knowing why and what? Goku's eyes turned to look up at Whis, but he was just as confused, with alarm on his face.

Beerus scowled and turned towards Potara, a purple aura of power engulfing him. "Hmph, very well. I suppose we'll do this the hard way..."

"Full power," interrupted Potara.

Beerus blinked. "Excuse me?"

"Go full power," ordered Potara, that same smirk unwavering on her face, "Otherwise you won't even be worth my time, and oh how I despise weak, miserable, cretins like you wasting my time."

Wow... this Fusion was one arrogant piece of work and liked to show it. Pan had been confident at times, but this was on a whole other level. Was this from the Doll? Or was it a quirk of the fusion process? He didn't know enough about the God Construct fusee to come to a conclusion on that.

Beerus narrowed his eyes. "My full power could destroy the planet with a flick of my wrist, rend the universe irreparably."

Potara's smirk did not fade. "So could mine."

Beerus huffed. "Fine then. Whis, shield the area as best you can."

"Lord Beerus, I do not think this is wise," said Whis uneasily.

Beerus hesitated for a moment before grumbling, "Just do it. I will not be challenged!"

Whis sighed and released a pulse of energy that surrounded the two fighters. With that, Beerus powered up, his purple energy roaring around him, purple bolts of lightning dancing around him. Goku couldn't help but grow nervous. This... this was serious... Beerus was actually going full power, this could become a complete and utter disaster. One wrong move and the Earth was done for.

Beerus finished a moment later. "Well then? Still so confident?"

Potara looked him over dismissively. "Is that all?"

Goku's eyes went wide. Was she serious?

"Gods... its like Gohan and Cell when the boy first ascended," whispered Vegeta with alarm, "I don't... I don't think Beerus has a chance."

Gohan nodded grimly. "I don't think this is going to end well, one way or another."

Goku turned his head and called to the other Z-Fighters. "Everyone! Behind us! Now! We'll do what we can to shield you if this goes bad!"

The Z-Fighters got in place, and Goku turned back to watching the two titans of power stare eachother down. Goku, Gohan, and Vegeta went Super Saiyan Blue and braced themselves. Without warning, faster than even Goku could follow, Potara closed the distance between herself and Beerus and buried her fist into his stomach.

Beerus's eyes bulged near out of their socket, his godly blood erupting out of his mouth. He doubled over Potara's arm, shaking and heaving before his power faded and he slumped over, unconscious. Potara gave him a disgusted like before flicking her wrist and discarding him, like he was trash. Beerus fell to the ground with a thud and laid there unmoving.

She... Potara... she had just one shot a full-powered God of Destruction... a feat he had only ever heard of Whis doing...

For the umpeenth time since he had first laid eyes on it. Goku could only try and guess: Just what WAS that Green power?!
