No Escape

Pan looked around desparately, seeking shelter. She spotted a cave nearby and
ducked in. Tears overflowed her eyes as she thought about the events of the past
two days.

*****
It started as a normal day but it got ugly really quick. Pan was sitting in Bra's
room looking at a magazine. Suddenly the side of the house was hit with a loud
boom. The two girls looked at each other and shrugged, figuring it was Vegeta
by accident. A second boom shook the house and they heard Bulma scream.

"Mother!," Bra shouted and ran out of the room.

Pan hestainted, unsure if she should follow. A third boom rocked the house and
another scream was heard. She looked out the window and saw the Brief family
outside. Vegeta and Trunks were fighting someone while Bra kneeled over her
mother who was laying on the ground with a dark pool around her.

Pan wanted to scream when Trunks was brutely thrown to the side and slammed
into the house. She crept downstairs and peeked out another window. Smoke had
filled the air and when it settled, she saw who the intruder was.

"Seventeen!," Pan gasped.

The black-haired android stood over the fallen Trunks. His eyes glared at him evilly
and he spit at the lavender-hair man. Trunks found himself unable to stand, looking
down he saw his left leg was broken. Seventeen noticed this too and he smiled
menacily as he kicked the leg as hard as he could. Pain shot through Trunks and
he passed out unable to bear it.

"Trunks!," a tearful Bra yelled as she her brother passed out.

Vegeta growled in anger and attacked the android. Seventeen ducked the attack
and hit him hard in the spine. Vegeta face filled with pain as he fell to the ground
and momentarily blank out. Seventeen kicked the fallen Vegeta and sent him flying
through the house, leaving a big hole behind.

Pan was trying to coax Bra to come with her but she couldn't snap the girl out of her
state of shock. She hid herself before Seventeen could see her. The andriod slowly
turned his attention to Bra, who was frozed in fear. He moved to her quickly and pulled
her to her feet. She whimpered feeling unable to do anything. He smiled at her and
kissed her hard on the lips. His hands disappeared under her shirt and before she could
react, a beam of energy ripped throught her chest.

"Oh no!," Pan whispered to herself as she watched her best friend fall lifelessly to the
ground.

Seventeen looked at the dead girl and suddenly his head snapped towards Pan's direction.
She gasped and backed off as he headed towards her. He was four feet away, when an
energy blast knocked him off his feet. Pan looked at the sender and saw Vegeta barely
able to stand.

"Run! Go and warn the others!"
"But...," she started.
"Fucking go! Don't hestiant like your idiot grandfather!," he shouted and shot another
energy energy blast at Seventeen.

She flew off, not looking back. Only listening to the shouts and blasts as she flew at full
speed home. Upon her arrival, Gohan ran up to her.

"What's wrong? Why am I sensing such an immense amount of energy?"
"S...Seventeen...is attacking...at the...Brief...house," she gasped.

Tears filled her eyes as she remembered Bra dieing in front of her. She hugged her father
who had a very worried look in his eyes. He motioned to Videl to take Pan. He then ran
into the house and called Krillin's house.

"Hello?," Krillin asked.
"Krillin! Seventeen has gone psycho! Where's Eighteen?"
"She's here. I don't know what happen to him but he just snapped and he beat up Eighteen
and knocked me out. Marron says he just flew off after that."

The two talked more and hung up. Gohan changed his clothes and went to check on his
daughter. He found her still clinging to her mother crying her heart out.

"Pan you have to tell us who's winning," Gohan said.
"S...Seventeen. He killed Bulma and B...Bra!," she said before bursting into tears again.
"Oh no!," Videl said, her eyes filling with fear.

Gohan was mad and asked about Trunks and Vegeta. Pan managed to stop crying long
enough to tell him what had happened to them. When she finished she bursted into tears
again. Gohan was furious and told Videl to take Pan and to get away from there as fast
as they could.

"But Gohan! He'll kill you!," Videl said.
"Don't worry. As long as I know you two are safe I'll be fine. Now please go," he said
and kissed his wife and daughter for the last time.

He flew off before they could protest further. Pan watched her father go and she wanted
to follow him. But her mother held her back and shook her head.

"Come on, Pan. Let's do as your father said."

The two flew off unaware of what was in store for them.
