Ninja Dimension Saga

During his last battle, fighting desperately against Omega Shenron to save the planet. Goku along with the help of his friends and family managed to hang on surviving attack after a devastating attack. In an effort, to form his greatest technique called the 'Universal' Spirit Bomb, Goku gathered a great deal of spiritual energy from every person or life-form he could find. The last of the evil Shadow Dragons could do little to stop the devastating attack from destroying him after the Saiyan raised on Earth successfully launched the deadly Spirit Bomb directly at his opponent to end the battle once and for all, enveloping Omega Shenron completely in a massive world-shaking explosion. After the dust had settled, the seventh and last of the evil Shadow Dragons were nowhere in sight instead replaced by the sudden appearance of the original real Shenron without even the need of being summoned, surprising Goku along with his friends and family as the sky was clear and blue and there was no dragon balls insight.

Then healing his wounds, the dragon began explaining to the hero that he would need to leave the planet for a century of rest until he was completely cleansed of all the effects of the shadow dragons before he could return and be able to grant any future wishes. But before Shenron was about to leave Goku convinced Shenron to grant one last wish to revive the people killed by Super Seventeen and the Shadow Dragons, but in return, the dragon told the Saiyan to join him which Goku instantly agreed to. After Shenron fulfilled the wish, the long-time rival of the Saiyan prince told Vegeta that the lives of everyone are now in his hands passing the role of protector of the Earth to him, then after his last words, Goku jumped on the green dragon's back and departed.

Before they were completely ready to leave the planet, the Saiyan raised on Earth asked Shenron if he could visit Krillin who was among those recently revived, the dragon saw no harm in allowing him to visit and agreed to Goku's request, after arriving at Master Roshi's island the Saiyan met with his long-time friend Krillin telling him that he was leaving and the two of them decided to have one last fight before Goku flew off with Shenron on his newest and longest adventure yet.

Chapter 1: The adventure begins.

This story begins months later when Vegeta had begun forcing the two sons of Goku, Goten, Gohan and even his own son, Trunks to train in his newly rebuilt Gravity Chamber. Knowing that if a new threat appears in the future, the former Saiyan Prince realised that there was the possibility that alone he would not be able to confront it. On a scheduled training day Gohan and his younger brother Goten were travelling by self-propelled flight towards West City to meet Vegeta and his son at the Capsule Corporation. "Come on bro why today, I mean do we really need to train now?" Goten questioned, showing his brother his displeasure of not wanting to go.

"Well, Vegeta seems to think so," the eldest brother replied, quickly acknowledging the younger brother's question, "and I for one wouldn't like to enrage him by not showing up."

"But it's not fair bro, I had something planned today, I wanted to chill out and relax." the youngest of the two announced with bitterness while the two continued their journey.

Then deciding not to remain silent he told Goten that their situation could have been a lot worse, Gohan turned to his brother as they suddenly stopped, "Just be grateful that he doesn't force us to go every day," he said in response failing to brighten his sibling's sour mood. Just as they were about to continue their conversation, they were stopped in their tracks as they sensed a Ki approaching from far behind the two in the distance, "now, who do you think that can be?" Gohan asked as if he didn't know who it could be.

"Huh, isn't that Pan's Ki, what's she doing all the way out there?" the brother answered with a question as he saw a figure in the distance, noticing the familiar Ki that was quickly advancing towards the two.

"I think I may know the reason why... wait here Goten, this hopefully shouldn't take long," the older sibling remarked as he left his brother and flew to intercepted his the person who was approaching.

As the figure came closer, it was clear as day that the figure was Gohan's daughter, Pan, "Hi Dad," she said in earshot of her father.

"Uh, Pan what are you doing here?" the father asked his daughter even though he already knew what the answer would be.

After Pan had stopped in front of Gohan, Goten decided to fly over and join the two, "Well, I was wondering..." she replied before noticing her uncles approach, "oh hi, Uncle Goten."

"Hi Pan, you okay? I thought you were at your grandfather Hercule's?" the uncle replied with a question.

"I was, I was, but I don't want to be left out this time," the quarter Saiyan daughter answered along with a question of her own, "so I was wondering, can I train with you guys this time, Please?"

Knowing that training in a higher gravity than what she normally used to may be dangerous for her, Goten began to warn her about the seasoned Saiyan warrior who was as bad as a drill instructor, Vegeta was like when they train, "err Pan, are you really sure this is a good idea?" he asked.

"I'm just going to ask for a few hours," Pan returned as the three floated above the landmass below, "that's all, I'm sure it will be fine."

With memories of times from deep within his mind, thinking that it may be difficult for her to deal with the nightmare of having the former prince of Saiyan as a training instructor, the youngest of Goku's sons decided to answered her back, "Come on Pan, you know how Vegeta is when it comes to training, don't you?" he asked.

"Yes, of course, I know how he is," she quickly answered back, "but, it's not like I'm asking for a whole day."

"At least you're optimistic," he told his niece, "Let's just hope you are right."

Later on, now continuing their journey along with the oldest brother's daughter who joined them, the group just arrived at the Capsule Corporation building, Trunks seeing the group from the window decided to come out of the main building to greet them as the group began to land, "Welcome back Goten," he said to the brothers, greeting the two, "and you too Gohan."

"Hello Trunks," Gohan greeted the lavender-haired man, "nice to see you again."

"So Trunks," Goten asked Trunks, "where's your old man?"

Turning to face the younger brother, the purple-haired man began to answer the question, "oh Dad's in the Gravity Chamber celebrating the machine, he'll be out soon," he answered before turning to Pan and decided to her asked what she was doing, "uh, hi Pan, so what are you doing here?"

"Oh hey Trunks," she acknowledged Trunk's question, "I was thinking of asking your dad if I could join you guys in the Gravity Chamber this time."

"Well, this might be a b..." Trunks said before Vegeta who just left the main building interrupted him. "You're both late," the former Saiyan Prince yelled at the two brothers impatiently following up with a question, "what in the world, what were you doing to take you two so long to get here?!"

Taking responsibility, the oldest of Goku's sons decided to apologise for being late before explaining why they were, "Sorry Vegeta," he replied, "it just that Pan wanted to come along..."

"Hey Trunks," Pan whispered to the lavender-haired man while Gohan and Vegeta continued to talk to each other.

"Yes, what is it?" Trunks replied, whispering back.

Noticing that the seasoned Saiyan warrior's tone of voice and change in demeanour, the quarter Saiyan know something must have happened to make more antisocial than what he normally was, "Is it just me or is your dad more grumpy than normal?" she asked the son of the man in question, continuing to whisper.

"Well, I wasn't there myself so I don't know any of the details," Trunks told her in response, whispering back to Pan, "but, I think my dad and my sister had a really bad argument and ever since then he's been in that super grumpy state like that all morning."

"Huh Pan," Vegeta answered in surprise as he finally noticed the girl, "Gohan, do mind explaining what she's doing here?"

As Gohan was about to answer the question, Pan was thinking about if Vegeta was going to allow her to train with them, 'I hope he says yes,' she thought to herself.

"She wants to join us in the Gravity Chamber this time..." the oldest of Goku's sons acknowledged, but before the daughter's father could finish his sentence the former Saiyan Prince interrupted objecting to the idea. "Are you crazy? Absolutely not!" he said raising the voice. "This is serious training; we have no time for messing around!"

"What?" Pan replied in shock, "why on Earth not?" but before she could even begin to protest, Vegeta interrupted explaining why she was not allowed to enter the Gravity Chamber, "For one thing you're not strong enough, you wouldn't be able to handle the Gravity setting that I have planned for today," the seasoned Saiyan warrior said as he glanced at Pan with a sigh before he continued finishing his sentence, "and I'm sorry to say this, but we don't have the time to waste waiting for you to catch up."

Then trying in an effort to convince Vegeta to change his mind, she began to speak, "But..." she began until the former Saiyan Prince stopped her before she could even speak, "I am sorry Pan," Vegeta said raising his voice, now becoming increasingly irritated desperately trying to keep his cool, "but enough is enough... we've wasted enough time Goten, Gohan and you too son, get to the Gravity Chamber now!"

"...Sorry Pan, maybe next time," said the purple-haired man apologising for his father mood as the seasoned Saiyan warrior began walking towards the Gravity Chamber, leaving the group and the disappointed Pan alone.

"Uh, are you coming bro?" Goten asked his brother unsure what else to say.

Sending a signal for his younger brother to go ahead of him, Gohan decided to speak, "No Goten, it's alright you go on ahead, I'll be right behind you..." he replied, answering his brother's question before the youngest of Goku's sons nodded and left to join the others in the Gravity Chamber.

"What am I going to do now!?" she said out loud.

"Pan, don't worry after the training session I will have a few words with him," he told her, trying to comfort his dejected daughter, "by the way, I have something to give you."

Curious as to what her father had for her, Pan decided to speak out to find out, "You do?" she asked.

"It's not much, but... here, just a little something I've put together," her father said in response, "I was planning to give you this later, but I might as well give this to you now."

"Okay dad," the raven-haired daughter replied with a question, "but, what is it?"

Then after extending her hand, Pan received a few capsules and a small bag, "That capsule has some training gear for you, and the bag has about five Senzu beans," Gohan told his daughter explaining to her what the items he gave her were, "take one when you're tired from training, use them wisely and try not to waste them."

"Oh thank you, Dad!" she said as she hugged her father.

"O-okay okay Pan, I've got to join the others now," the father said to her begging her to release him, "I think you should find a place outside the city to train, so you don't attract too much attention to yourself."

Knowing just the area, Pan decided to bid farewell to her father before she rose from the ground ready to leave, "I will dad bye," she replied to her father.

"Bye Pan," Gohan answered in response to his daughter, "Please be careful!" then after the quarter Saiyan daughter disappeared into the distance, Gohan began moving towards the main building to join the others in the Gravity Chamber.

"At least with this, I will be able to train for a while," she said to herself as she departed toward an area outside the city.

While the eldest of Goku's sons were just entering the main building, Goten and Trunks were now busy training with the former Saiyan Prince in the Gravity Chamber trying to keep up with him, "What's wrong Goten, can't handle it? Are the Gravity setting to high for you, do you want me to lower it for you?" Vegeta replied with a smirk as sweat ran down from Gohan's brother and his son's face having a tough time keeping up with the former Saiyan Prince's movements, "Come on Trunks I expected better from you!"

"But father, the gravity setting feels like it's twice what it was last week," Trunks yelled in anger at his father, "we can't keep going like this!"

"You're right Trunks," Goten said in agreement, "it's impossible to keep up with you, at this gravity setting it's only going to kill us!"

Vegeta didn't respond and just stared at them. 'Great,' the lavender-haired man thought to himself, 'what in the world did my sister do this time?'

"Stop complaining, you're an embarrassment to your heritage, I've hardly made any changes to the settings," the former Saiyan Prince replied in anger at the lack effort the two were displaying, "this just shows me the lack of progress you've made."

"The setting sure doesn't feel anywhere close to what they were last time," Goten murmured to himself.

The response of the younger Son didn't totally go unnoticed by the former prince, he didn't know whether to just laugh or beat some sense into them, "Well, do I still hear the sound of someone complaining?" he told to the two in response with a question that needed to be answered, "I thought I told you two to practice, didn't I?"

"But, father we did..." Trunks said before Vegeta cut him off mid-sentence, "No buts son, you know that you need to keep improving if you want to get to the next level," said the former Saiyan Prince "I at least want to see the two of you at the level where you able to go beyond your own current limits, but at this rate it would probably take you years to reach that!"

Then while Vegeta resumed his traditional fighting stance, Goten pleaded with him for a rest, "Could we at least have a break?" he asked.

"Of course not, if you're asking for a break now," Vegeta replied, answering his question, "it means you're even more out of shape than I thought."

"Darn..." the son of Goku said in response.

Just as they were about to continue Gohan entered the chamber, "Aren't you being a bit too hard on them," he said overhearing the former Saiyan Prince and the others, "you know they're not used to your training method."

"That may be true, but if they had trained themselves properly, then I wouldn't have to push them this way now," Vegeta replied as Gohan entered the room he readied himself by powered up for training session, "I want them ready before they fight their opponent instead of being pushed like you were by cell, in any case, you're not doing any better, you have so much potential and I want to see you at least ten times stronger than you are now."

"But pushing us too hard," the eldest son of Goku said in response, "too fast might have the opposite effect."

After he had taken a deep breath to calm down he continued, "Gohan, you're one to talk, you don't want me babysitting you or this planet by myself forever," the former Saiyan Prince replied, "while you stand helplessly waiting for me to win, do you?"

"Yes, Vegeta you could be right, but on another point why didn't you let Pan train with us?" Gohan said feeling a bit heated also took a deep breath before he replied with a question while Vegeta remained silent thinking about what say next until he decided to speak. "You could have lowered the gravity for just one day."

"This is training, not family bonding," the pure Saiyan stated.

"I'm being serious Vegeta," he replied with displeasure.

"I knew you might not understand, but she will only slow us down... when she gets stronger, then I will consider it," the seasoned Saiyan warrior said, "but, we don't have time to wait for her and play catch up, especially when you are this out of practice, if a new threat appears I don't think we would not be able to take it on at our current state, we're very far from ready!"

After Vegeta finished his sentence, the father continued trying to convince him, "But, Vegeta just for one day that's all I'm asking," he said, "you can lower the setting while she's here and you can increase the setting back up when she finished."

"I can't take this anymore," the former Saiyan Prince replied before thinking for a bit, he finally agreed, "Alright Gohan you win, in our next session I will let Pan in for a few hours."

"Thank you, Vegeta," the eldest son of Goku said in response, "you don't know how much this will mean to her."

Not wanting to waste any more time, Vegeta decided to speak out, "Enough talk, for now, it's driving me mad, get back to training!" he yelled as the oldest of Goku's sons sighed, as the group resumed their training session. "We'll discuss this further later."

-Meanwhile-

Just outside West City getting ready to train by herself, Pan who after receiving gifts from her father gave her was flying high above trying to find an isolated spot, 'I don't get it, why wouldn't Vegeta let me train with them in the Gravity Chamber,' she thought to herself distracted from her search, 'am I... no, I'm not that weak that I can't handle a few hours of this type of training.'

Then finding an isolated spot, making sure that there was no one in sight the quarter Saiyan girl began changing into her new clothes. The garments she received from her father consisted of a red Gi in a style of what her own grandfather Goku had once worn with a dark red undershirt, dark red wristbands and a sash tied of the same dark colour around her waist. She also was wearing a simple pair of black and white trainers and for some reason, she kept her old orange bandanna and re-tied around her head over her shoulder-length hair. 'I'm sure that I am strong enough, but maybe... whatever if I need to get stronger,' she thought, 'then I'll just have to get stronger, that will show him that I can handle it!'

Pan took a deep breath as she opened a capsule and saw what was contained inside, "weights? Not the same as a gravity training room, but just as good, thank you, Dad," she said out loud then began to put on the training weights she was given before she even planned to began to exercise, two on her arms and two on her legs, 'I wonder how their training is going? If only I had a sparring partner,' she thought, 'I wish I had someone like Uub but with him sick and the others with Vegeta, I guess this will have to do.'

'Darn it, I can't believe it, Vegeta said that I can't train with them because he thinks I'm not strong enough,' she thought angrily to herself as she punched and kicked in the air,' and wouldn't be able to his training, Vegeta, I'll show you! Does he really think that I would only slow them down!?'

"This is not cutting it, I need an opponent... hmm there is that one technique, but I haven't had much practice with..." she spoke out loud stopping as she saw something at the corner of her eye. Pan saw a weird glowing light, which caught her attention as the light grew brighter, "w-what is that light?" she said thinking out loud. Suddenly She then put her arms up to block the light as it blinded her vision, 'it's getting brighter,' she thought, 'too bright!' Then a sudden whirlwind began to blow, gradually increasing in strength until it was even strong enough to knock Pan into a nearby tree, snapping the tree in half on contact, 'What was that?' she thought to herself. 'What was that weird light and that unnaturally strong wind? Where did it come from?'

To her shock and surprise, as her vision finally returned she turned her head towards to where she had first seen the weird glowing light, what the raven-haired girl saw was something similar to a black hole in the sky right above her, with a bright ball of weird light which appeared green coming from the centre of the vortex. 'What in the world?' she thought. 'What the heck is that?' Then to her surprise while she flew a bit closer to investigate, it was beginning to become increasingly difficult to fly as she began to feel a strange pulling sensation which was getting increasingly stronger as she flew closer forcing her to keep her distance, 'Why does it feel like it's trying to suck me in,' Pan thought as she was trying to keep her distance.

To her horror, the force of the black hole was getting to be far too much for her to bear "Darn, it's getting stronger, wait... no!" Pan yelled in fear as the pulling sensation was getting to stronger to handle, "it's getting too strong, I can't break free!" She then threw off her training weights in a vain hope of trying to escape, 'Not enough,' she thought bitterly to herself. Then with only one option she had left, she began to gather her energy for a last-ditch effort to break free, "all or nothing!" she cried out as she tried using her Ki to blast herself away from the black hole as the vortex was dragging her in. "Here we go! Haa!" she yelled at the top of her lungs as if that would add to her efforts, but in the end, it was no use as the vortex pulled her in.
