Wolf Howling At The Moon
Chapter 7: When The Stars Go Blue
Pan had ran away again...
She felt betrayed and she could not bare to look her mother in the eye.
Pan could not believe Snow would hide the truth of whom she really is for so long.
That really broke Pan's heart.
She didn't know who she is anymore. It will not be long now until the whole entire Wolf Tribe will be looking for her now.
Pan honestly did not want to be found right now.
She felt so hurt and felt so very lost. After the truth came out, she didn't know who she was anymore.
The wolf princess didn't know if she's a Tessacain or a Sayjinn.
She had lost her identity when Bulma and Snow gave her the hard truth. She wished so hard that she never left Tessa Island to hunt down that group of humans that tried to kill her weeks ago.
Trunks would had never kidnapped her, she would not have met Bulma, and she would not have found out she was adopted.
She wanted this all to be a bad dream. And she wanted to wake up from that bad dream
Pan had run away to the Twilight Forest (Fo: It has nothing to do with the 'Twilight Saga'... For I despise 'Twilight'... I loathe you Edgar, whatever your name is... And Kristen Stewart... Go fuck yourself -.- You look sticky...) in the Northern part of Tessa Island.
It is very peaceful in the Twilight Forest.
The leaves let off a rainbow crystal like shine in the starry sky.
While the river shines like fresh cut diamonds.
The tall grass had a magnificent shade of emerald green.
There were giant emeralds, sapphires, and rubies scattered all over the forest.
Ledges covered with lush dark green ivy.
There were also many fruit hanging from the branches.
Vines hanging lazily from the trees.
The moss was even pretty as it covered many fallen trees.
The rocks glowed a hauntingly beautiful blue against the night sky.
And the many flowers bloomed brightly from the light of the moon.
Twilight Forest looked like a piece of heaven.
It was heavenly bliss...
Indeed Twilight Forest was immaculately beautiful; there were no dwellers, only visitors. It was said a long, long, long ago Twilight Forest was the Dragon Clan's home. Nobody knew what happened to the Dragon Clan.
They just vanished decades before Pan was even born.
Though, she did heard countless stories about them from her mother...
Should she still call Snow that?
Pan didn't know...
Pan forced those thoughts out of her head and brought her attention to Twilight Forest.
After the disappearance of the legendary Dragon Clan, Twilight Forest was just sacred ground.
Pan always loved the Twilight Forest, she felt so safe here.
She felt at peace listening to the wind blowing through the tall grass and the rush of the gigantic waterfall nearby.
Pan had changed back into her old cloths (Fo: Pan is wearing her outfit from 'Chapter 1: Dead Leaves And The Dirty Ground'...) and discarded the ones Bra had lent her in her cave in the Wolf Tribe's territory.
Pan was lying in a meadow on her back.
She had her arms under her head, with her back stretched out, and her black wolf tail twitching happily in the tall green grass.
Each breath she took was calm and peaceful.
Pan's onyx eyes were shut, just taking in everything around her.
She let the cool mist from the river that was carried by the wind touch her.
Pan opened her beautiful black eyes slightly.
"You should introduce yourself..." Pan spoke in a icy tone as she looked over at a tree a couple yards away.
Suddenly, the young man that Trunks had encountered emerges from the tree that Pan had her dark black eyes fixated on.
The young man (Fo: The young man is wearing the outfit from 'Chapter 1: Dead Leaves And The Dirty Ground'...) stared at her with determination written all over his face.
Pan growled impatiently as she stood up.
He still didn't answer her. He just stared at her with sorrow in his onyx eyes. He looked so heart broken as he stared at the young wolf princess.
"TELL ME YOUR NAME, DAMMIT!" Pan demanded as she stomped her right foot.
"Goten..." the young man, responded calmly as he took a few steps closer to the wolf princess.
Pan let out an 'hmp' as she watched Goten's every move like a hawk.
"What do you want?" Pan asked as if she was ready to fight at any given second.
Goten smirked as he started to circle her.
Pan watched his every move; she noticed the way he was circling her.
He was circling her as if he was the predator and she was the prey. It was almost as if he was a wolf and a member of the Wolf Tribe.
However, there was something off. It was his scent...
It was mixed and she couldn't determine what his blood was mixed with. However, she did smell human in him and two others but she couldn't really tell from where she as standing.
"Pan, Pan, Pan, Pan... You need not to worry, I am no threat, I promise you..." Goten said as he placed his left hand over his chest.
"Fucking liar," Pan growled at him as she slowly transformed into a black wolf.
" Pan I swear I'm not here to harm you!" he said trying to convince her.
However, Pan was not convinced; she immediately lunged at Goten with a loud battle cry. Goten caught her by her saliva covered jaw that were inches away from his face.
"Looks like you'll have to listen to me the hard way," Goten said as he threw Pan off of him with a grunt.
Meanwhile, Trunks and Bra arrived on the Northern beach, also known as Besaid Beach (Fo: Yes, I named the beach after Besaid Island from 'Final Fantasy X', I'm in love with that name. I DIG IT!), of Tessa Island.
Bra and Trunks were still in their cloths from today.
Trunks pulled out a small GPS tracking device from his pant pocket and started to press a red button on the top with his thumb.
Bulma had inserted a tracking chip in Pan's neck when Trunks first brought her to their home.
Though it was Trunks' idea of course.
Bra looked around in 'awe' as she fumbled with her red digital camera taking countless pictures of the beach.
"So this is Tessa Island, Trunks?" Bra asked as she started to take some pictures.
"Yep!" he answered as he continued to fiddle with the small screen in his hand.
"It's far beautiful than your description..." Bra mumbled as she still continued to take pictures, oblivious to everything around her.
With Trunks having super human hearing, he looked over at his sister with a smile.
"It is very beautiful, Bra. Just keep a sharp eye... This whole island is full of surprises," Trunks said as he started to walk up to her.
Bra looked at her big brother with a questioned look.
"What are you talking about, Trunks?" she said as she stopped taking pictures of Besaid Beach.
"A lot on the tales that come from this island is true," Trunks explained.
There were countless stories about an island that was said to be home to large animals that were said to defy the laws of logic and reason.
One story that both him and Bra know is that somewhere on Earth is a large island that was once located beyond the stars in heaven and fell to the ocean on Earth before the age of man. One story Trunks remembered that there was a woman who fell in love with a man who some how was found on a beach with white sand on the floating island beyond the stars.
The woman was clothed in strange white robe, with long flowing white hair, white wolf ears, sky blue eyes, and a white wolf tail; to be with that man she rebelled against her people and she made a wish to be closer to that man.
And that wish she made sent their home beyond the stars falling to Earth.
And there was a another one he had heard when he was a little kid; that the large mythical animal did not come from the heavens, but from hell.
It was said there was a war between beings from beyond the stars and demons from hell.
After the war had ended the heavenly beings returned to their home beyond the stars and what ever was left of the demonic race lived as large deadly animals on the island when hell had opened in the ocean many millenniums ago.
"Trunks?" Bra said taking Trunks out of his thoughts of myths and legends of the fabled island.
"Sorry Bra, I was thinking about the those legends we heard when we were growing up. I think this island might be from those stories we use to hear from Ox King..." Trunks said mainly talking to himself as he took in his surroundings.
Bra stared at her big brother bewildered.
Then suddenly, Bra burst into laughter.
"Haha! Nice try, Bro!" Bra exclaimed still laughing.
The young male demi Sayjinn knew she never believe the stories about Tessa Island.
But, he didn't want his sister to learn from the hard way like he did. However, without Bra or Trunks notice there was a long bright brown and gold reptile like tail wrapping around Bra's ankle.
Then all of a sudden, Bra was hoisted into the air by her ankle and sending her into a panicking screaming fit.
Trunks gasped as he watched a large cobra arose from the forest holding a screaming Bra by it's tail.
Bra is absolutely terrified of snakes. And her phobia is now holding her captive.
"FUCKING KILL THIS OVER GROWN SNAKE, TRUNKS!" Bra shirked as she tried to get her foot free.
"I am Medusa, Leader of the Snake Clan! Humans are forbidden to step foot on Tessa Island," Medusa spoke as she rose higher.
Bra felt like she was going to have a panic attack as she stared at Medusa.
"Leave! This is your only warning!" Medusa hissed as she revealed her deadly venomous fangs to Bra and Trunks.
Trunks figured if Pan was the adopted daughter of the wolves leader, maybe the leader of the snakes might know where she is.
It was a long shot, maybe he'll get lucky.
"WHERE IS PAN!?" Trunks shouted at Medusa.
Medusa's large reptile golden orange eyes widened when she heard Pan's name mentioned. Medusa growled and looked over at the young demi Sayjinn.
Medusa rose even higher, now at 10'11 still holding onto Bra.
The two stared at one and other in silence, determine if either of them are friend or foe.
"LEAVE!" Medusa demanded as she released Bra.
Luckily, Trunks had taught Bra how to fly years ago and Bra fled towards her big brother.
"We are not leaving without Pan!" Trunks yelled at Medusa.
Trunks was not going to leave this island without Pan and he was going to make sure Medusa and the other animals know it.
"Trunks, what are you doing talking to a snake?" Bra whispered to her brother as she hid behind him.
Medusa hissed at them showing off her fangs.
"The wolf princess is none of your concern!" Medusa hissed at Trunks as she slithered closer to the two siblings.
Bra's blue eyes widened as she looked at Medusa and Trunks back and forth. She had no idea animals could speak. It amazed her and frightened her at the same time.
Then it just dawned on her, the snake was talking.
She has never seen anything like it. She just could not believe her eyes or her ears. Bra just had to make sure her mind wasn't playing any tricks.
"Trunks is that snake talking?" Bra asked in a whisper as she squeezed her brother's arm.
Trunks looked over at his sister and gave her a 'yes-captain-of-the-obvious' look.
"Yes Bra, that snake is talking!" Trunks whispered back to his sister.
Then suddenly there was a howl of a wolf.
Bra, Medusa, and Trunks looked over to see Snow and her sons approaching them.
Trunks was so amazed how beautiful Snow is; her pure white fur glowed and shined like untouched snow glowing from a bright moonlight with the purest and darkest of black that tipped her ears and tail.
Her eyes were a bright blue; the same kind of winter blue sky. Snow looked up at Medusa who was slithering towards the wolf queen.
"Snow..." Medusa spoke as she bowed her head.
Snow and her sons bowed their heads and looked over at Bra and Trunks. Snow made eye contact with Trunks and she immediately started to growl. Viktor and Lucas had told her about the human that had kidnapped Pan from their island.
"He wishes to find your daughter, Snow..." Medusa admitted to Snow; Trunks gasped, he had Pan's adoptive mother staring and growling at him.
Snow looked at Medusa and then at Trunks; her attitude had changed, but Trunks' fear of her remained.
"You are the Bastard who brain washed my daughter..." Snow said calmly as she glared at Trunks.
Bra shook her head in confusion. It made no sense to her; Pan was human and Sayjinn and that was a giant wolf.
"Just wait a second Fluffy! You are the one who brain washed her!" Bra shouted at Snow.
Snow looked over at Bra with deadly intentions and snarled at her.
"How dare you... I raised Pan as my own!" Snow snarled at Bra.
"You raised her to believe that she is an animal and taught her it's okay to kill humans!" Bra yelled at Snow as she pushed Trunks to the side gently.
"HOLD YOUR TONGUE HUMAN!" Viktor hissed at Bra flaring his canines.
Bra took a few steps back from the sudden outburst from the young wolf. All of a sudden, Lucas, Medusa, Snow, and Viktor suddenly looked over towards Twilight Forest. Medusa looked over at Snow with a concerned look in her eye.
"Pan?" Medusa spoke to Snow in a somewhat concerned voice.
Snow looked over to Lucas and Viktor; without a word the two darted off into the mystic forest.
Then Snow followed her sons in to the forest full of wonder with Medusa.
"If you follow us, we will kill you..." Snow warned as she looked back at the two demi Sayjinns before proceeding into the large forest.
Bra looked at her older brother with worry.
"Trunks... What if Pan is in serious danger?" Bra asked her brother with huge amounts of worry in her voice.
Trunks looked at Bra with the same worried expression.
"I will get her back, Bra..." he said with determination in his voice as he narrowed his eyes towards the area Snow and the other Tessacains had gone.
Goten was stuck dodging Pan's fury attacks. She was coming at him hard and fast. Now, it is Pan that was circling Goten as if she was the predator. She was glaring at him with a hungry eye. She was searching for a weak point. Goten could see saliva dripping from here canines.
"Why are you here?" Pan said with a snarl as she continued to circle him.
Even though Pan was a terrifying wolf that could ripe your throat out in seconds, Goten was standing his ground.
"I just want to talk," Goten said as he watched Pan's every move.
He figured Pan for the kind of woman to never back down from a fight.
Pan crouched down and started to snarl and bark.
"Pan... You don't want to do this," Goten warned as he took a few steps back.
However, Pan didn't heed his warning as she ran at him at full speed with an ear piercing howl.
"DIE!" Pan shouted as she howled.
Her teeth were aimed at Goten's jugular.
"I warned you, Pan," Goten said darkly as he did a road house kick to Pan's face.
Pan transformed back into her normal form as she landed on her side with a grunt.
Pan started to struggle to get up.
As she went to use her left arm to lever herself up, she screamed and fell back down into the tall grass. She went to try to get up again, but screamed again as she fell back down. She looked at her arm and saw it was broken.
Pan then started to panic as she looked up when she saw Goten stalking towards her.
Pan panicked even more as he drew closer.
'Not again!' Pan shouted in her head as she remembered the last time she was in a situation like this.
She remembered it so well.
-Flashback-
She went flying into a bush; she got up and was faced to face with Trunks. Her sight was blurry; Pan knew she could not win this fight.
Therefore, she ran off in the opposite direction.
She then tripped over a stone.
"Leave me be..." she whispered as she stared into nothing.
Trunks looked at her.
He pitied her. She looked up at him. And snarled at him, to let him know she is a fighter until the end.
"Please go away...," she mumbled before she was about faint.
-End of Flashback-
But this time she's going to escape.
Pan looked at Goten with a devilish smirk.
Goten got a little concerned at Pan's sudden change in confidence of escaping. It was quite odd for anyone to be overly confident with a broken arm.
"Why so cocky?" Goten asked cocking his head to the side as he raised an eyebrow, as he crossed his arms over his chest.
Pan chuckled devilishly as she looked up at the pale full moon that was coming out of the clouds as the sun was setting.
She started to moan as she reached up to the night sky with her unbroken arm.
Pan started to scream and howl as she stood up causing Goten to worry a little bit.
Her power level was sky rocketing.
Pan ripped her torn tube top revealing fresh medical tape wrapped tightly around her chest.
Pan's eyes turned from her dark onyx black to a golden yellow, the whites of her eyes went to the blackest of black, and her pupils looked like wolf pupil's.
As she continued to scream her canines grew longer and the rest of her teeth became sharper. Her nails became dark grey claws and her muscles began to bulge. Her mouth started to extend to a wolf like muzzle as she continued howling. Goten watched in horror as Pan's cloths tore off and soon her skin was covered in jet black fur.
"Did you feel that?" Malice asked with surprised eyes as she stopped in mid flight.
Seventeen stopped as well and noticed the sudden Ki rise that Malice felt.
"You're right... It seems it's coming from that island," Seventeen said blankly as he pointed towards Tessa Island in the East.
Malice smirked at the direction her brother pointed towards.
"What are we waiting for? Let's go check it out!" Malice exclaimed.
Seventeen shook his head as he frowned. Seventeen needed to teach Malice to be more patient. He wanted to determine how high the Ki can get, before going in blind. Malice was impatient just like her younger sister and Seventeen knew that and had to break her out of that quickly. And that was his sister s demise. Her impatience is what got her killed. Seventeen isn't about to let Malice suffer the same fate.
"Malice... Wait..." Seventeen said as he closed his eyes.
"Wait for what?" Malice asked impatiently.
She didn't care how strong the Ki level was. All she wanted to do is bring destruction.
That's what she was created for after all.
Seventeen crossed his arms as he let out a sigh. A part of him did want to charge at the owner of that Ki level blindly. However, this Ki was different. It felt almost mystic and ancient.
"Malice... Close your eyes and concentrate," Seventeen suggested as he gave her a small glare.
Malice rolled her piercing blue eyes before closing them. She started to concentrate and fell something warm welling up from her stomach.
The feeling in her stomach was a light, airy, warm, and fuzzy feeling that soon drained to all over to the rest of her insides.
She opened her icy grey blue eyes and smirked.
"Whoever belongs to that Ki is just as powerful as us," Malice said as she looked over at her brother.
His lips curled into a smirk; he knew Malice was an amazing droid. Seventeen looked over at Malice with a smile. He was impressed that she honed in on that mysterious Ki so quickly. Even though he despised his creator; Dr. Gero's greatest masterpiece is Malice.
"You're learning fast, Malice..." Seventeen said with a small smile on his face.
Malice smiled cheerfully revealing a perfect set of the teeth.
"Thank you! Now let's kick some ass?" Malice chirped as she cocked her head to the side.
Seventeen chuckled a bit and nodded his head. Malice smirked devilishly and darted towards Tessa Island.
"She needs to learn patience," Seventeen chuckled as he shook his head and followed his older sister towards Tessa Island.
Malice landed first in the Twilight Forest. She looked around and then looked up at the sky smirking as she watched her younger brother coming to view. Seventeen landed next to her and he had an uneasy feeling about this island. It felt like they're weren't suppose to be here.
The island felt forbidden...
"I don't like it here..." Malice spoke as she looked around at her surroundings.
"Malice..." Seventeen said as she looked over at her brother and saw that he too was uneasy about the island.
Then suddenly Goten burst through a cluster of tree with a humanoid black wolf lunging at him.
Both Malice and Seventeen gasped in pure shock at what they saw.
They have never seen anything like it.
The two of them were so stunned that they couldn't even react.
It was almost like a scene from a horror move. It was so surreal; never in a million years they ever thought they'll see something like. Malice was more amazed than her brother was. Malice took a few steps forward as she watched the black wolf like human landed on all fours and let out a growlish howl when it made eye contact with Malice.
The wolf creature stood up and started to snarl when it spotted Seventeen standing behind Malice.
"A werewolf?" was all that Seventeen could say.
