“So, do you think they’re improving?” Goten asked from the tree.

        “Yeah.” Trunks said.  It was a few weeks after Goku had started training Pan and Marron.  They were getting better and better.  They would attack Goku, and he would point out some stuff they did wrong, and they they’d attack each other.

        “Do you know what’s weird?” Goten asked.

        “Nani?”

        “The stronger Marron gets, the taller she gets.”

        “Everyone grows, idiot.” Trunks said, biting an apple.

        “Yeah, but I’ve been living with her for last few years or whatever and she hadn’t grown at all, now she’s grownin.  It’s kinda scary.”

        “For you, I’m sure it is.”

        “I guess you’re right.” Goten shrugged.  “Hey, who do you think is stronger?”

        “I’m not sure . . . both of em are really good . . .but probably Pan, cuz she’s part Saiyan.”

        “Yeah, probably.” Goten agreed.

        Pan and Marron really liked the training; it was their favorite time of the day, even though they never knew when it was going to be.  Goku would just say, “Okay, let’s go.”  Everyday they would both learn something new.  Everyone noticed how much happier they were, but Marron seemed about ten times happier.  Goku just assumed that it was because she had never fought before, but Goten expected something else, because Trunks was a lot happier too . . .

        “Hey Goku-san?” Marron asked one day at dinner.

        “Hai?” He asked, wiping his mouth.

        “Um . . . do you know when we’re going to learn how to fly?” She asked, twisting her hands.

        “When you’re ready.” Goku said with a shrug.

        “Do you know itsu that’s going to be?” Marron asked.

        “Oh, at the most . . . three weeks.”  Goku said, stuffing his face with fish.

        “Okay.” She said, getting excited.  She had always wanted to know how to fly.  A few days later:

        “Tomorrow, we’re going to have our training session at five in the morning.” Goku said.  It was one of their later sessions.  Later as in, ten at night.

        “What?  Five in the morning?” Pan whined.

        “Hai.  I think you’re ready to learn how to fly.”Goku explained.

        “Honto?” Marron squealed.

        “Honto, but you have to get up early.”

        “Okay!” They both said.

        “Are we done?” Pan asked.

        “Yeah, go inside, and go to bed, you’ll need the energy.” Goku said.  They ran inside.
 

***********

        “Pan, wake up!”  Marron said, shaking her.

        “What?  Oh yeah!”  She was up and ready in a few seconds.  They ran outside and the lesson began immediately, and soon they could both fly.  They got better and better and pretty soon, they were shooting chi blasts.  By the time they could date, they were one of the most powerful people on Earth, and Marron was the strongest human.  They were 14, but they still kept up the training.  Everyone thought of Marron as a family member, and she was adopted when she turned 13.

 They still trained.

        “So what are we going to do today?” Marron asked.

        “I think you’re just going to spar.”  Goku said.

        “Okay.” Pan said, and they got into fighting positions.  They attacked.  Their arms and legs were flying at each other, and soon, both of them were bruised and bloody.

        “Okay that’s enough.  You can stop now.”  Goku said. They stopped in mid air and sat down on the grass,
panting.

        “Nice fight.” Marron gasped.

        “Yeah, you too.” Pan said, panting.

        “Okay, now, Pan, attack me.” Goku said.  She attacked.
 

        “Is it just me, or are those two really . . . great?” Trunks asked.

        “Yeah, they’ve improved a lot.  I haven’t watch them in a long time.” Goten said.

        “I know.” Trunks said.  “I bet Pan could beat you.”

        “Yeah, right.  Well, I’m going inside.”

        “Okay.” Trunks said, following him.

“You two can go in now.” Goku said.  They ran inside to wash out their cuts, talking at a fast rate. As soon as they went inside, Goku heard a voice right above him.  “You know, Kakkarotto, you don’t sound half as stupid as you are when you’re training someone.”

“Konban wa Vegeta.” Goku said.  “Why’re you here?”

“I came to get my brat.  He’s late.” Vegeta said.

“I’ll go and get him, he’s inside.”

“Okay, fine.  Just tell him to come home.”

“Okay.” Goku said, shrugging.  He went inside to deliver the message, when he discovered that Trunks wasn’t down in the living room . . .

“Does anyone know where Trunks is?” Goku called.

“I think he’s upstairs!” Chi-chi called back.

Goku ran up the stairs, and looked in Goten’s room. No one.  “Hmm.” He said, and he checked the next one’s, until he got to Pan and Marron’s room . . .

“What the heck?!” Goku asked.  Marron and Trunks were making out!!  “What’s going on in here?!”

“Nothing.” Marron said quickly, pulling away from Trunks.

“Nothing?!  You two?“

“What’s going on in here?” Chi-chi asked, coming up behind Goku.

“Trunks and Marron were making out!” Goku said, pointing.

“What?!  Marron, how could you?!” Chi-chi said.

“I’m old enough to date, but I’m not old enough to?“

“Dad!” Goten screamed, running into the house.  “Dad!  Someone’s attacking Capsule Corp!  Bra just came over and told me!”

“Nani?”  Goku said.  “We’ll settle this when we get back.”

“Yes sir.” Marron said then ran to go and get Pan.

She ran to Gohan’s study.  It was now a computer room, but they still called it his study.  She was usually on the computer.

 “Pan!”

“What?”

“Someone just attacked Capsule Corp!  C’mon!” Marron said, jumping into the air.

“Let’s go!” She said they flew off.  “Do you know who it is?”

“No!  But he has a really high power level!” Marron called back.

“Yeah, I can tell, too!”  They landed at Capsule Corp,and ran around back.  They almost screamed.

“How did all this happen so fast?” Marron asked.  The backyard was totally demolished, the only people standing were Goten, Trunks, Gohan and Goku.  Everyone else was down.  Marron did scream when she saw who it was.  “AN-- ANi24!” She gasped.

“So you remember me?” He laughed.  Marron was boiling with anger.  “You must be that little runt I almost killed.”

“You?you?“

“Still don’t know any cuss words, eh?” He asked sarcastically.

“Marron calm down.” Pan said, putting her hand on Marron’s shoulder.

“Or you kidding?  That’s the guy who killed my parents.  Both of them!  He just killed them!”  Marron said.

“Yes I did.  Now I’m going to kill all of you.”

“Go to hell.” She spat at him.  “Or back to it.”

“How are you still alive?” Goku asked.

“My maker found some of my chips and rebuilt me.”ANi24 said.  “Now, let’s fight.”

“Okay.”  Trunks said.  They all powered up.  Trunks, Goku, Gohan, Goten and Pan power up to Super Saiyan 4. Marron just powered up.

“Impressive.  But not enough.” He said, powering up, blowing objects back towards them.  “Prepare to die!”He roared.  Gohan attacked first. "You're going to die!"

"Really?  I'm not ready to die." He said, then hit him with some attack called 'POLRTHER'it hit him, and he fell to the ground, twiching. “We need to fuse!” Goten yelled to Trunks, getting blown back.

“Okay!” He yelled.  The dodged all the stuff getting blown at them and managed to do the dance, and yell “FU-SION!”

“That’s seems familiar.” ANi24 laughed.  Gotenks shot a HUGE chi blast at him, and laughed.

“Eat that, ANi!” He said.

“That tickled!” ANi24 roared.  “Now, feel a real blast!”  He said.  “GOMUSZU!”

Gotenks screamed and was surrounded by a bright yellow light.

“Trunks!  Goten!” Marron yelled.  The light faded and the two warriors were lying there, knocked out.  “You bastard!” She screamed.  Vegeta regained consiousness, and sat up, just in time to see his son laying unconsios.

“You did learn some cuss words.”

“You'll pay for that! Die ANi!” Gogeta said.

They all attacked at once.  Punching, kicking, screaming, attacking.

“KAME HAME HAAA!” Marron screamed, hitting ANi24 square in the chest.

“Nice try.” He coughed.  Gogeta attacked again, but got knocked away.

There's no way we're going to win Marron thought. Unless . . .
 

“Pan?” Marron whispered

“Yeah?”

“I think . . . I think we need to fuse.”

“Are you sure?  That’s a big step, and I’m not sure how to do it.” Pan said nervously.

“We’ve seen all of them do it plenty of times, we know the steps, and there’s only one word!  C’mon!  All we need to do in one move, and he’s gone!”

“What’s that?”

“Then same thing that defeated him last time.  The Spirit Bomb.”
 

“The land, the sea, the sky and all the living things on this planet?“

“Not this time!” ANi24 said, then charged at her.  Her tried to elbow her in the gut, but she blocked it and threw him backwards.

“ANi24, you will die.” She whispered, close to his face.  Then she kicked him across the yard.  “You kill
Krillian, you killed 18, you almost kill Marron, Trunks and Goten.  You sure as hell aren’t going to harm anyone else!”

“How?how did you get so powerful?” ANi24 asked.

“Very easily.” She said.  “KAME HAME HAAA!!!!” She yelled.  A huge light went around the yard.   When it faded, there were only three people standing, Marron, Pan, and Gogeta.

"Are Trunks and Goten okay?" Marron asked, running over to them.

"I think they are, just knocked out.  Where's Gohan?" Goku asked.

"He's over here.  We have to get them to a hospital!" Pan said.

Marron was about to pick Trunks up, when she looked down at the metal scrap that had killed her parents. She glared, and hit it with a samll chi blast, and it caught on fire. "Rot in hell bastard." She whispered, and picked Trunks up carefully, and flew to a hospital at full speed.
