Ascension Beyond the Stars: The Divine Warriors' Journey.

Time Skip- Episode 2

As the group gathered around the clearing outside the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, Pan approached her father, Gohan, a sly smile playing on her lips.

"Hey, Dad," Pan called out, her voice casual but with a hint of challenge. "Think you can spare a few minutes to see what I've learned?"

Gohan, already proud of how much stronger Pan had become, smiled warmly. "Of course! I've been wanting to see what you're capable of after all that time in the chamber." He cracked his knuckles, loosening up. "But go easy on me, alright?"

Pan chuckled softly but didn't respond to that last part. She turned to face him, her eyes sharp and focused. Goten, Trunks, Bulla/Bra, and the others watched from the sidelines, already sensing that Pan had something bigger in mind than just a simple sparring match.

Gohan powered up, going straight into his Super Saiyan form without hesitation. His golden aura flared around him, the familiar power coursing through his body. "Alright, Pan. Let's see what you've got!"

Pan nodded but remained calm. Her base form was deceptively relaxed, her aura faint as if she hadn't even begun to tap into her true strength. She was holding something back, and everyone watching could feel it.

"Ready?" Gohan asked, preparing himself for what he thought would be a light spar.

Pan didn't answer with words. Instead, she dashed toward him at blinding speed, catching Gohan off guard with the sudden burst of power. Her first strike—a powerful punch—was met by Gohan's quick block, but the sheer force behind it made him skid back a few feet.

"Whoa, Pan!" Gohan exclaimed, his eyes widening. "You've definitely improved! That's more power than I expected."

Pan smirked, her Saiyan pride beginning to show. "I've been holding back, Dad. You haven't even seen a fraction of what I can do." Without warning, she vanished from sight, reappearing behind Gohan with a powerful kick aimed at his side. Gohan barely blocked it, his arm straining against the force.

"You're fast!" Gohan noted, impressed but also beginning to realize this wasn't going to be as easy as he initially thought.

Pan grinned, her eyes flashing. "This isn't a normal sparring match, Dad. I'm testing you." As she spoke, her aura flared, and she began to slowly power up, the ground around her trembling as her ki expanded.

Gohan stepped back, sensing the sudden rise in her energy. "Testing me?"

Pan nodded, her voice firm. "I need to see if I've surpassed you."

Gohan's smile faltered slightly, but his eyes gleamed with a mixture of pride and competitive spirit. "Alright then, if that's how it is... I won't hold back either!"

Pan's aura exploded around her, and without any hesitation, she powered up into her Super Saiyan form. Her golden hair spiked, and her eyes turned a piercing green, but Gohan could sense that even this wasn't her full power.

Pan shot forward again, this time faster and more aggressive, launching a barrage of punches and kicks at Gohan. He met each attack head-on, blocking and dodging, but it was clear that Pan's training had sharpened her skills beyond what he'd expected. Her movements were fluid, precise, and relentless.

Gohan smirked, realizing he needed to step it up. "Not bad, Pan. But let's see if you can keep up with this!" With that, he powered up further, his golden aura intensifying as he tapped deeper into his Super Saiyan power.

The two clashed again, their fists colliding with such force that shockwaves rippled through the air, causing the ground beneath them to crack. The onlookers—especially Goten, Trunks, and Bulla—watched in awe.

"You weren't kidding, huh?" Goten remarked, eyes wide as he watched his niece hold her own against Gohan.

"Pan's seriously tough," Trunks added, sensing the immense ki radiating from her.

Bulla crossed her arms, smirking. "I think she's about to show him what she's really been hiding."

Pan, her fists still meeting her father's with equal force, suddenly leaped back, her golden hair blowing wildly in the winds of their battle. "Alright, Dad... now let's see how you handle this!"

Gohan's eyes narrowed as he felt her power spike again. Pan's aura flared brighter, and with a roar, she transformed into Super Saiyan 2, her hair crackling with electricity as her power skyrocketed. Her muscles tightened, and the sheer pressure of her energy pushed Gohan back a few feet.

Gohan smiled despite himself. "Super Saiyan 2? You really have been working hard."

Pan grinned. "You haven't seen anything yet."

Without warning, Pan charged at Gohan again, her speed and power vastly increased. Gohan barely had time to react, his arms coming up just in time to block her punch, but the impact sent a shockwave through his body. She followed up with a rapid series of kicks and strikes, forcing Gohan to go on the defensive.

"She's pushing him!" Piccolo observed from the sidelines, his arms crossed, watching the intensity of the fight. "Pan's gotten a lot stronger than I expected."

"She's doing great!" Goten shouted, clearly excited by the fight.

Gohan gritted his teeth, realizing Pan wasn't playing around anymore. He powered up to Super Saiyan 2 to match her, their golden auras clashing as they exchanged blows. But Pan wasn't done.

As their fists collided once again, Pan leaped back, her energy surging to a new level. Her ki spiked dramatically, causing everyone watching to gasp.

"No way... she's going further!" Goten said in disbelief.

Gohan's eyes widened as Pan's aura shifted, the electricity around her intensifying. Her body began to glow with an ethereal light, and her hair shifted slightly, gaining a more fiery, golden hue.

"This is..." Gohan started, but before he could finish, Pan let out a mighty roar, her power surging beyond Super Saiyan 2.

Pan stood tall, her new form radiating incredible energy. "This is the result of 15 years of training, Dad. This is what I've become!"

Gohan, staring in awe at his daughter's newfound strength, smiled, but there was no mistaking the seriousness in his eyes. "Alright, Pan. Show me everything you've got!"
