Guardian Of Forever

Chapter 1: Guardian Of Forever
The object was much like a large stone, but had weird engravings that foretold of its age and importance. Pan had no idea where it came from or how it found its way to Earth. She just knew that the stone was emitting a strange ki. She saw another object, something clear, lying and the ground, covered in dirt. She brushed the dirt off and jumped back as the clear panel came to life, displaying text in a holographic form. Pan regained her composure and began reading the text. It was in another language, but it was an Earth language. It appeared to be Latin. The panel switched to English and then to Spanish. Some of the languages were not even native to Earth. Eventually, when it reached Japanese, Pan hit the blinking red button and the text stopped changing. She read the words carefully, taking in their meaning.
To Whomever Finds This,
If you are reading this, you most likely have acquired another object as well. This object is known as the Guardian of Forever. It knows all and can tell all. Unfortunately, it has a mind of its own. It will only answer a question if it wants to. To ask, put your hand on the stone and ask. The answer will come to you if it wants to answer. However, do not expect it to answer, as it has not decided to answer a question in over four hundred years. That is why we have sent this object into space, to another planet. We believe that we have become to corrupt to use the Guardian of Forever. We hope that its answers can help you in your life.
Pan just stood there wondering. It obviously was not a joke, as the panel was far beyond any technology Earth had. She looked up and down the stone, now known as the Guardian of Forever, and decided to take action. She put her hand on the face of the rock and asked every question that came to mind. "What is the secret to everlasting life? How can I get a good husband? Who will my husband be? When will I die? What should I ask you? Am I going to the right college? Should I move back home with my parents? Does Trunks like me as a sister or as a woman?" She asked, hoping for an answer. But she received none.
"Damn, I knew this thing wouldn't work. Or am I not asking the right questions?" She spoke out loud to herself. She decided to ask a much more meaningful question. "What happened to my grandpa? Where did he go? Why did this all happen to us?" Pan asked. She thought of her and her family's history. Goku's repeatedly having to fight to save the world. Picollo, Red Ribbon, and others. His happiness through it all. His son being kidnapped. His sacrifice to kill his brother. His return to find his friends killed. His fight with the only other member of his race alive. The pain it caused. The trip to Namek. The death of his best friend. The evil that was Freeza. The return to find a prophecy of his death and the destruction of the world. The training to beat the Androids. The heart virus. The appearance of Cell. The sacrifice of himself to save Earth from Cell. The fight against Babi Dee. The fight with Vegeta. The fight with Majin Buu. The death of all his loved ones. The destruction of Earth. The killing of Majin Buu. The training of Ubuu The return to childhood. The search for the Dragonballs. Having to fight Babi and the ones he controlled. The fight with Shenlong. The final decision to leave with Shenlong. The ten years he has already been gone.
So much had happened to him. He was always hunted, hated, attacked, and forced to sacrifice himself. All because of his good heart. He gave everything he had to others, and yet he was attacked by the very people he showed mercy to. Why did this happen to him? Why could he never live in peace. She thought about this all, her grandfather who left her ten years ago when she was fourteen. A tear ran down her face from the memory, and she felt weak at the thought of him. She sat on the ground and leaned against the Guardian of Forever. As she began to cry, she yelled out a question she had asked almost every night since the fateful day that Goku left. "Why?" She asked herself, as she closed her eyes and went into deep thought.
Her voice echoed off the large stone, and a faint glow came to it. Pan was now in a deep sleep, her body still leaning against the rock. "Why?" She whispered again in her sleep. And for the first time in over four centuries, the Guardian of Forever answered.
