Trunks POV
Have you ever woken up with your hands and feet bound by really tight metal and your body lying flat on a lab table ready to be dissected? No? Well I did and let me tell you it hurt like hell. For some reason I couldn't move no matter how hard I tried and the metal seemed to grow tighter every time I struggled. All I could think about was how I was going to escape. I looked over and saw Goku who still hadn't managed to wake up. How could he look so peaceful at a time like this? The room in general was bare except for the two tables and a bunch of other weird machines. There was no one in the room but I could see at least four security cameras all pointed in my direction.
"Goku! I yelled."
"MmMMm?"
"Wake up now were about to become an experiment."
"What?! Now Goku was fully awake."
"Don't bother Goku I already tried, there some type of super cuff. Anyway wait wha—I stared down at myself and realized all I had on were my shorts and boxers and a pair of socks. Goku wasn't wearing much either but I was grateful he had on boxers."
"Hey! Who did this to us?!"
"I don't know Goku but I don't like it either, how are we gonna escape?"
"Isn't it obvious?"
"What?"
"Geru managed to escape and I bet you he went straight to Pan."
"Oh yeah!"
"Look I know you're worried about Pan but she can handle herself. In fact I bet after were free she'll be telling us I told you so all the way home."
"Home? Oh that's right. Listen I didn't mean what I said about sending Pan home. We need her, I need her."
I felt my mind drift off toward Pan. She was still the same kid I saw when I was seven. The same four years old that competed with adults in the world martial arts tournament. Now she was the same girl who was waiting inside a spaceship wondering where we were.
"What if Pan gets caught or worse?!"
"Look as far as whoever it is knows it's only us two and I would be more worried at us right now, Goku finished."
"What do they want with us anyway? Did we do something wrong?"
"Apparently but I hope we escape soon cause I am starving!"
"Goku!"
"Well it's true."
I opened my mouth to reply but then the door slid open. A small blue colored scientist stepped through with too many sharp objects for comfort. He wore what looked like a cross between clothing and armor. He wore a pair of black shades and had wild ginger hair that went down to his back along with a matching mustache.
"Greetings, he said. You must be the Sayians."
"Depends on who's asking? You a good guy or a bad guy, said Goku irritated."
"Hush child and unfortunately for you I'm a bad guy but for the right reasons."
"Excuses huh? I smirked at him."
"I wouldn't be in terms to insult me if I were you. I'm not the one strapped to a lab table and as much as I would love to drain your energy and study your body I can't."
He said it with such ease yet I could barely keep myself from vomiting on the floor. How did he even know what we are? It didn't matter at this point he had all the answers and I was helpless to ask, that didn't mean I wasn't going to try.
"I heard you had a dragon ball in your possession and as it just so happens so do I. You see I need all of them to complete a very special project, I've been working on an anti Sayian, one who is unstoppable."
"What did the Sayians ever do to you? said Goku clueless."
"They robbed me of my life's work. I was on the brink of making infinite dragon balls where you could have as many wishes as you desire. Unfortunately your kind blew up my lab and my planet without really knowing the consequences of your actions. Luckily I escaped and have been working here ever since. You could say I'm the head authority around here."
"You're mad! I cried."
"No my boy I'm a genius and once I extract your energy I will have the Sayian power my creation so desires and with the dragon balls I will wish for planet to be restored bringing my lab and work back once again."
"That will never work! I'll stop you before you even have a chance! Goku shouted."
"You? your just a boy and you… well your hardly worth the effort at all. Perhaps your blood is the only thing that doesn't make you completely useless. He was now looking down at Trunks. Or am I wrong about that too?"
I couldn't take it anymore. I spit in his face with anger burning through my so called useless blood. The smirk vanished from my face. He slapped me across the face so hard it made the ground shake. My face was bleeding and I coughed up blood. I groaned in pain, my eyes filled with angry tears.
"Leave him alone!"
"Shut up, boy!"
He took his index finger and swiped it across my check. It made me sick to my stomach as he examined it.
"Useless indeed. Now Goku is it?"
"Yes, Goku replied."
"Since your friend is in no condition to speak I demand some answers. Where is your ship? I asked for a full search and they came up with nothing. I know there are dragon balls on your ship."
"It's gone, I cried."
"Persistent are we? Did your third member of your party leave you as well?"
My heart stopped in my chest. How did he know?
"Even with your energy I will still fall short. However our hidden speakers detected your conversation about the one you call Pan. Is it a Sayian too?"
I refused to look up at him.
"Aaahh so I was right well it looks like it ran off with your ship. It would be the only logical explanation but something tells me there's something missing. You better hope your friend is here and smart enough to find you. I will keep you here for 24 hours before I cut you open. If your friend doesn't make an appearance neither will you."
"You basterd! I said as cold as I could."
Perhaps you should keep quiet.
"I won't le—Mmmmm! He quickly took a piece of rope and tied it tightly around my mouth. I watched in horror as he did the same for Goku. The blood had dried up but still stained my face.
"Oh and one more thing. He took out a remote and pressed a red button. Instantly Goku and Trunks were electrocuted with 10000 volts, enough to kill a human. Instead it knocked them both unconscious. You may call me Dr. Garrot, he said as he closed the door shut.
Pan POV
"Tell me where they are or I'll blast you into oblivion like your 5 friends over there, I said angry."
"Never! Your friends are probably too late to save."
"That maybe but I'm still going to try, now I won't ask again."
"Ok fine! The guard said in tears. There in the laboratory on the 11th floor!"
"Why were they taken, answer me!"
"He wants their energy!"
"Who?!"
"The Dr.!"
I was fuming when he told me this I took a ki blast and knocked him to the ground next to his friends. They would live but it would be a while before anyone found them. I look up at the building. It had exactly 11 floors. Someone must really want them enough to make sure they don't escape. I guess the jokes on them. The guard uniform was pretty covered. A long robe with gloves and a helmet.
"Perfect, I said smiling."
Putting on the uniform I took one last look at myself in the glass window of a torn building. I looked like one of them. I stepped through the grand gate and saw thousands of other guards circling the perimeter. This was going to be a challenge. I had to save Trunks and Grandpa and each moment I spend is another one that could end their life. No I refuse to let that happen! Marching like I belonged I headed for the entrance to the building. Silently I powered up a ki blast and fired it in the opposite direction. A few seconds later there was a loud explosion and a bunch of screams and shouts running towards it. Now was my chance. I slipped through the doors and took a good look around. The halls were white and clean and empty. I had made it.
"You there state your purpose, called a hidden guard from the corner."
"I'm here to report to the Dr. I have urgent news."
"Very well he's located on the 11th floor."
I simply nodded and brushed past him. Although I walked away calmly my mind and heart were racing like crazy. What if it was too late? No! Don't talk like that Pan, get yourself together! I didn't care what I had to face all I knew was I had to save them. They were my world and without them I wouldn't ever see my parents again. I didn't know if there was security systems rigged throughout the building so I took a closed stair well. Walking was a breeze since I was super fast and when I reached the 11th floor it looked the same as the others.
"Hello?"
Nobody answered so I continued down the corridor until I saw it split into four paths. I didn't know who this guy was but somehow I felt like this was all too easy. But I decided to just go with it. Without any sense of direction I went straight and found three doors. I chose randomly and opened the second. It was a wardrobe filled with the most beautiful of gowns. Perhaps a queen or princess lived here after all it was a palace.
"Can I help you?"
It was a small girl who looked about seven years old dressed in servant's attire.
"Actually yes but can I trust you?"
"Yes I am very quiet and I am only a servant."
"Do you have a family?"
"Once but I was taken from my home."
"By who?"
"The doctor."
"Who is he?"
"I'm guessing you're not from around here and that is a mere disguise."
"Yes, I said pulling off the baggy clothing. My name is Pan and I need your help. My friends are in the laboratory and I don't know where that is exactly. Will you help me?"
"As much as I can."
"Great but um what's the deal around here?"
"We were a peaceful city that lived under a great rule. There was our king, our queen, and our princess Kylie. We were an advanced society but then a strange ship appeared on our planet and war and terror broke out. Many were killed and the few who live, live within these walls."
"The Doctor."
"Yes he rules the kingdom now but the royal family still lives here. In exchange for their rule over us they will be spared from his wrath. They now live comfortably and you stepped into the princess's wardrobe, in fact you look just like her. How old are you?"
"14"
"If you promise to free me and my people from his wrath then I shall help you and protect you."
"I promise."
"Good now come with me."
"Where are we going?"
"To my quarters, I suppose your previous outfit didn't fit so well and since you look like our princess then you shall go in disguise as her."
"Really? I said looking down at myself. Are you sure you can do it?"
"Absolutely."
