Thank you as always for all the reviews…
Now I'm not good with fight scenes so bear with me, it won't be long either.
Chapter 11
Goten appeared in the regeneration room. "Doctor Kimura, I suggest you leave and your staff too. Please tell me, are all the healing pills in this room?"
"Is everything ok Goten? I could examine you if you're injured, and then decide if you need the tank or pill."
"I'm not here because of injury; I've come to destroy everything in this room."
"You can't do that! It will take months to rebuild new tanks and make more pills." The Doctor explained.
"Yes I can, I have orders to do this. Leave now, or I will proceed while you and your staff are present!"
Doctor Kimura waved his hands in front of him. "We'll go. Everything for fast healing and regeneration is in this room." At least we keep the designs and recipes in another safe area. He thought as they hurried out of the room.
Goten set to work, forming energy balls with both hands, and blasting everything in the room until all that was left were scorch marks. Once he was satisfied with his work he teleported back to the Throne room.
"Did you do it?" Goku asked just as he appeared.
"Yes dad. What the fuck? Why has Gohan got his hand around the Prince's throat?"
"Let me show you son." Goku placed his hand on Goten's forehead, showing him what Gohan had seen moments ago.
###
"You sick fuck! I will kill you for what you did to my little girl!" Gohan screamed, tightening his hold around the Prince's neck.
Trunks smirked and transformed as well, feeling the angry father's hand loosen around his neck. He formed a ki ball and held it at Gohan's side. Gohan was too fast though, before Trunks could blast him, he phased out and kicked him in his side. Trunks skidded along the floor but regained his footing. Both Saiyans took their fighting stances and flew toward each other, phasing in and out until their arms clashed, blocking each other's blows. Gohan dodged as Trunks made to kick him in the head, grabbing his foot and spinning him faster than the human eye could see. He let go and Trunks went flying across the room right through the castle wall which led to the outside. Gohan flew out after him.
Meanwhile, Goten who had just finished looking at Pan's memories was beyond pissed. He transformed immediately flying out after his brother and the object of his rage. Trunks managed to get a few blows and kicks in but quickly lost momentum. It wasn't easy fighting two angry Super Saiyans, and he could sense that they weren't even using their full power yet.
"Your son is a skilled fighter Vegeta," Goku opened a link with the King while watching from the hole in the wall, along with everyone else. He didn't want the women to hear the conversation between them. "Some of his techniques are similar to that of Frieza."
"Humph…" Vegeta was very surprised by what he was seeing. "I've never seen him fight like this before, he always used what I taught him and his own technique when we sparred, even when I was with him in battle."
"Did he train under Frieza as well?"
"When he was a young boy, and we were still under Frieza's rule. He wanted me to leave Trunks with him, so I did as my father did with me. The only difference was Trunks was left alone and I had Nappa."
"Has Trunks ever told anyone about his time with Frieza?"
"No, he came back like this, cold-hearted and emotionally detached. I tried reading his mind but I could never break through".
"I see…"
"Are you going to allow your son's to kill him Kakarot? I suppose not seeing as you had the regeneration tanks destroyed."
"I won't let my Granddaughter suffer through this bond by killing her mate, and besides it will only prolong the inevitable. Their bond is unusually strong. Pan will not survive long without him."
"You're right Kakarot, and she hasn't even marked him yet."
"Yet… what makes you think she will, or that he will let her?"
"Don't play dumb with me Kakarot! You already know…"

Pan watched silently as the fight continued. They were moving slower now which made it was easier for her to follow what was happening. Her uncle and father were tossing the Prince around like a rag doll, although he must have put up a good fight. Both members of her family were bleeding and their clothes were torn in some places, but it was still nothing compared to what Trunks looked like.
She couldn't take it anymore. Part of her wanted to rush down there and stop them; the other part wanted him dead, because of all that he had done to her. The former, however was definitely outweighing the latter. "Excuse me…"she said to the rest of the onlookers before rushing out back to the Prince's quarters. If her father and uncle were going to kill him, she didn't want to watch. Why is this happening to me? I keep asking the same question over and over, but it always remains unanswered.
###
When she reached the room she shared with the Prince, she felt an eerie silence, and knew this could only go one of two ways. The Prince would die today and she would be left alone to look after his spawn, waiting out her misery until they meet in the afterlife. Or he would survive, punishing and tormenting her worse than ever before, because of her family attacking and humiliating him. One thing she knew for sure was that even if he died, she could never leave. This was the only place she would still feel close to him. "Either way means he has me, due to the bond and he knows it." She lay down on the bed, grabbing his pillow, holding it close to her nose, and inhaling deeply. "I hate being bonded to you, I'm stuck forever, and I will never forgive you for handing me this fate!" She cried silent tears waiting, not sure if she would be able to feel it if he left this world. "Even in your darkest hour, you still won't let me in."
###
Gohan and Goten were preparing their signature move, as the Prince lay limp below them in a huge crater, forming a blue ki ball at their sides as both prepared to release the Kamehameha.
Bulma was beside herself, holding Vegeta's hand. She was about to watch her only son die. Videl and Bulla were embracing each other. Trunks looked unrecognisable lying unconscious in the crater. Bulla couldn't be bothered if he died; she gave up on him years ago. Videl was happy that he was finally getting what he deserved.
"Kakarot if ever you were to make a decision about my son's existence now would be the time. I am not pleading for his life, but you must decide whether you want your granddaughter to suffer at his death, or you could help me fix this mess. I know you can break through his barriers with time, help me find out what happened to my son!"
Goku disappeared without replying and reappeared in front of his still enraged sons. "Power down boys, that's enough for today."
"What! No, he dies today; I will not let him hurt my daughter again!" Gohan snarled.
"He won't hurt her anymore Gohan, you have my word. Look Gohan, look over to where the others are; she couldn't even stay to watch you kill him. Their bond is very strong son, even if they are rejecting it. We must help them or Pan will suffer for an eternity."
"Have you lost your mind dad? He may not be able to hurt her physically, but what about mentally and emotionally?" Goten asked before Gohan could reply. "You don't actually believe he can change, do you? I don't want him anywhere near my niece!"
"You will understand one day when you are bonded with a Saiyan female Goten; it's not something you can just get rid of. I don't think Trunks hates her like we think he does, he hates the thought of being bonded to someone, especially Pan. A servant girl of the lowest class and it doesn't help that he was emotionally detached for so many years." Goku sighed crossing his arms over his chest. "The thing is, he wants to be with her, but he doesn't know how to deal with it. He is a complex person who needs help."
Gohan shook his head and spoke up. "I don't give a damn about what he wants, I want him to stay away from my daughter, or there will be no more chances. Next time I will kill him and anyone who stands in the way of me doing it! I've seen enough to know that she hates him and will never forgive him."
"Why did you let us fight him if you won't let us end it?" Goten asked heatedly.
"Why do you think I asked you to destroy the regeneration room, Goten? You are blinded by rage and won't listen to reason no matter what I say. Do you want Pan to suffer for the rest of her life and after?"
"Why didn't you beat him up, why have us break him?"
"I need to gain his trust and fighting him would've pushed him further away, it didn't work when Vegeta did it!"
"I'm out. I don't have time for your mind games! I can't believe you would do this to Pan!" Goten took off away from the castle.
"I hope you know what you doing dad," Gohan sighed and shook his head.
"You must trust me on this Gohan. I'm doing this for Pan. For the moment I will only observe and see if he will open up to her on his own."
"I doubt he will, and I'll be watching too. He makes one wrong move and I kill him! I'm going to check on Pan."
"No, leave her be for now Gohan. Why don't you spend some time with your wife, and you should visit your mother too?"
Gohan nodded in agreement. "What about Goten?"
"Let him calm down, he'll come back later."

Vegeta flew down to Trunks while Goku and Gohan were talking. He picked him up and took him to a private room in the Medical wing. The Doctors started on him straight away. They worked on him for the rest of the day and all night. He had massive internal bleeding, and they had to open him up to operate the old fashioned way. He's injuries were severe, but he would still heal faster than a human due to his Saiyan blood.
Both his legs and his left arm were completely broken, and were fully cast; only his right wrist was broken and had a small cast on it. His head was fully bandaged and his face swollen, all his ribs were broken too. Even with his Saiyan blood it would take him at least nine months to a year to heal completely without the tanks and pills.

Pan opened her eyes and turned to look at the clock, it was 8am in the morning. She couldn't remember falling asleep.
"Good morning Pan…"
She sat up and saw her father sitting on a chair next to the bed. "Pappa, is he?" She whispered.
"He's alive, but in a coma. He hasn't regained consciousness since passing out on the battle field. Pan-Chan, why don't you come home with us?"
Pan looked at her father sadly. "Because I belong here with him…"
