Time heals all wounds
Future Trunks and Pan pairing
Chapter 1) Alternate future world.
"Darn it, Gohan why did you go alone!" Trunks shouts while flying off towards the burning city.
"... Gohan? Hello? Where are you?" The fourteen year old says while he flies through debris left in the wake of the latest android attack on Orange city. The sound of thunder could be heard off in the distance, the smell of smoke from the many fires is causing the young Saiyan breathing difficulties.
" Gohan? Please say something?" the boy was starting to panic, he couldn't sense his best friends life force anymore and could mean two things one of which he kept telling himself couldn't be true.
Trunks looked around and then he saw it below him the familiar orange outfit that his friend and mentor wore and he saw that he wasn't moving.
"GOHAN!" Trunks immediately flew down to Gohans side.
Trunks slowly walked towards Gohans body, "Oh no….No…" his body lying face down in a puddle of blood. The rain began to pour down hard. Trunks continued to get closer.
" No, Gohan why did you have to do this? Why did you go alone?" Tears began falling down his face.
"Why did you have to leave me…?"
Trunks finally stood over his masters lifeless body, "Oh gosh no… What did they do to you Gohan?" Pain suddenly began pulling at the boys heart…
" No… You were my best friend…Why?…Why did you have to go?"
The tears continue to spill as an overwhelming pain began to take over.
"You were everything to me… Everything…" Trunks knelt down to Gohans side and he tried to call out to Gohan he took him in an embrace. The pain in his body felt as though it were burning a hole into his chest.
"GOHAN!"
The boy let out a sorrow filled scream and his rage and pain began to take over he felt his power beginning to rise. He clenched his fist so hard he drew blood. Power slowly filled him as he let the mental barrier that had prevented him from transforming slip as he finally tapped into his true power. His super saiyan power began flooding his body and he let it explode.
Three years later
Trunks still felt pain from the whole ordeal and had since become an emotional wreck and he had even given up fighting despite what anything his mother ever said. His mother had almost given up on him when an idea had suddenly struck her that maybe if the two of them could somehow travel to another time and start a new, maybe she just might be able to save her son from a lonely life of pain and despair, so she worked for many, many months for many days at a time and finally she had invented her greatest invention of all time, a machine that could move through the very threads of time so its name was very fitting for such a machine, the time machine.
" Hey mom lunch is ready… Oh are you still playing with that thing?" Trunks asked nonchalantly . His mother popped her head out of the cockpit of the large machine, and smiled down to her son who was holding a large box.
"I'll be there in a bit just put mine in the micro-oven kay, and I'm almost done with it and from then we're home free!" Bulma smiled, pride showing through her face, " I mean who knows where we'll end up in the time stream and the people we could get to see, who knows maybe you'll find a girlfriend ha-ha." she had too laugh her son had never been the type who was too interested in dating.
A look of disgust crossed her son's handsome face, " Hell no! There's no reason for us to run from this world mom…" Trunks had been against leaving the his world since she started the creation of her latest invention.
" Besides I don't need anyone else in my life. It's pointless to start a relationship with anyone since their doomed to leave me…" Painful memories of Gohan started to fill his mind and his tears threatened to fall, He dropped the box he was holding and immediately ran for the stairs leaving his mother behind.
When Trunks finally made it to his room he slammed the door shut. Bulma knew better than to follow him, she knew that he was having another one of his episodes so she continues with the final adjustments.
"I know this will be good for you Trunks you can't keep living your life in this downward spiral so when night falls and your asleep, I'll set our course to the past. It may be cruel but I know hat this is for the best."
That night Trunks' life would be forever changed by his mother. That night, Bulma packed for her son and herself, she packed everything up and the last thing left was to get her son. " Sorry son, you don't have much choice in how this is going to work, but I'm doing this for you. You will be happy I promise." Bulma smiled to herself as she brought her son's listless form to the time machine, she set the coordinates and fired up the ship.
"Anywhere is better than here." She hoped that wherever they were going they could start anew.
The time machine made a loud humming sound as it started to lift off and by the time Trunks had finally woke up, they where already in the time stream.
Part 2) Welcome to the Past.
-Lake Plateau on West face of Mt. Paozu-
The sky is as blue as the clear lake below it. The sparkle on Paozu lake attracts many life forms including the earth's most powerful warriors, the Z fighters.
" Oh Wow! Today is such a beautiful day" Goku smiles while looking over at the peaceful lake.
The tranquility is suddenly broken when he hears the rumble of his family and close friends running towards the lake. This Saturday's heat wave is torture on everyone so the Son family decided to host a party on the shores of the Great Paozu Lake.
"Whoa guys what's the rush? Ahhahhaha!" Goku had to laugh. While he was laughing away Vegeta came around and smacked him upside the head.
"Ow What was that for?" Goku pouted as he watched his wife, Videl and Pan starting to set up the buffet tables.
"Well Kakorot I felt compelled to do it you buffoon." Vegeta smirked, his old age starting to show through so Goku did what Goku does best, Point out the obvious.
" Wow Vegeta… your so…old." he stated with a smile.
_Over to The Buffet tables_
"SHUT UP!I AM NOT OLD! YOUR GOING TO DIE!" was all the ladies who were setting up dinner heard. Everyone was trying so hard not to laugh and keep working, none of the ladies at the tables noticed Pan walking away from the work, everyone except for Trunks, Bra, Goten and Marron who eagerly followed her trail.
Pans P.O.V.-
' wow, I can't believe I escaped, thank god…. I would rather be doing something other than…'
"Panny! Wait up!" I heard Marron calling for me
"shit…. What?" I shouted angrily. I noticed that it wasn't just her but her little entourage of her friends, I thought to myself, 'shit not again here she comes to harass me, again…and they will go along with it…. Fuck…'.
I really did hate what my old friends had become, they've been nothing but cruel ever since Marron and Trunks started dating. Ever since they've gone along with anything she'd say, even if it ended up hurting me.
When they finally caught up, Marron put her hand on my shoulder as she whipped me around to have to face her.
"Well what are you doing? Weren't you supposed to be serving us our meals, or are you coming out here to meet someone, like, say a couple of guys? Ahhahhaha!" Marron said with an ear shrieking laugh.
" So is it true you'll fuck anyone for food? Or is it just for money?" Bra asked me humorously. She has grown to like harassing me about big appetite and my like of a sex life, but who can blame her, she's such a slut, rumor has it that she fucks my uncle Goten, whose 28 and she's only 17. That's just not legal. Oh well, I guess that's one of the perks of being filthy rich.
"Oh fuck off… I thought I sensed something… so leave me be.." I had had enough so I started to fly away. This seemed to pissed off the two of them but since they both can't fly me taking off in the air is probably the best thing I could do to run away from them. I really did sense something, something that was different.
End of P.O.V
Pan flew off towards the location on the southern face of the mountain, where she sensed a disturbance of sorts what ever was there made her stomach feel nauseous, but oddly not in a bad way. As she approached her target closer, she recognized two distinct life forces, and they were oddly familiar, like she could have sworn it was Bulma and Trunks, but that couldn't be right since she just saw Trunks, and Bulma was setting up dinner.
"How on earth could they have gotten to the south face in less then ten minutes? Something just isn't right about this… Trunks is fast, but not that fast!" Pan muttered to herself. She began her decent towards this odd feeling and she landing in a small wooded clearing. She began headed south to get through the clearing and still have enough room to make a hiding spot should she need it.
Suddenly Pan was caught off guard by the sound of what she thought was Trunks yelling at Bulma. She quickly took cover in a nearby bush and when she finally got the nerve to take a peak, she was shocked to a much teenage Trunks and a middle aged Bulma in a heated argument about what looked like a pile of rubble. So Pan decided to listen in to try and figure out what was going on.
"MOTHER! HOW THE HELL COULD YOU DO THIS TO US! WE'RE STRANDED NOW IN THE PAST BECAUSE OF YOU!" Trunks shouted off in a very deadly tone. His hair was starting to slip into golden locks of power.
Bulma on the other hand looked very happy, her face seemed to be full of nostalgia.
"Trunks dear, this is our big chance at a new life. Where we don't have to live in constant fear, of the androids next attack. Where we don't have to fight to survive. So what if the time machine is broken it doesn't matter since we will be safe here. So… lets just make the best of this world! Kay!" Bulma yipped cheerfully. Trunks wasn't as enthusiastic, he started to power up again when he suddenly heard a small feminine voice.
"Hey, um excuse me, do you guys need some help?" Pan popped out of the bushes with a bright and cheery smile on her face, which as soon as Trunks saw her he knew he'd found a relative of his master Gohan.
