The Saiyan Wars

Pan's Rabbit Foot

"...One hundred –two. One hundred-three. One hundred-four..."

'Holy hell, how long am I gonna be in this crappy room. I must've counted these ceiling tiles a million times already!'

Son Pan had been in the clutches of the West Kingdom for 2 days. Since the awful dinner hour she spent with Vegeta, Trunks and Nappa, she hadn't seen the outside of the musty room they had locked her in. The events on the outside were unclear to her, but she was sure something was going down...she just didn't know what and why.

The burn from the shot Vegeta sent her healed nicely without scarring. And other than slight dehydration, she was healthy.

'And I'm ready to get the hell outta here.' She thought as she paced back and forth.

"And I think I know just what to do..." Walking over to the virtually unbreakable door with the small sliding opening, Pan took a deep breath and...

"HEEELLP MEE!!I'M DYING HERE! PLEASE, SOMEONE HELP MEE!!" Pan shouted with all her might through the tiny window. Waiting until she heard footsteps, she hid in the corner beside the door frame. Hoping the guards were as dumb as she thought they were, she pressed against the wall in the shadows. The first guard was big as he launched himself through the door in a hurry, causing the door to fly toward Pan. Countering, Pan kicked the door with all her might, sending the door slamming into the second guard instantly knocking him out. As guard number one turned to watch his partner go down, Pan sent a blow right to his abdomen, making him blackout.

"Sorry guys, but the time for suddleties is over." Taking off toward the stairs, Pan used every shadowed corner to make her way to the main floor and to freedom.

'But watch way is freedom? This place is like a maze! I've gotta get my hands on a scouter or I'll be caught for sure.'

Opening every door she passed, she spent an hour searching for ANYTHING other than creepy rooms and lengthy corridors.

"What the hell is this place? Am I in some kind of labyrinth or something?" Pan wondered aloud.

"Well, I guess we can't all be happy now can we?"

Startled, Pan jumped in fighting position facing the mystery voice.

Unfazed, Trunks walked toward the other side of the hall and faced Pan with his arms crossed.

"Look, I've been locked up long enough, ok? Please just let me go or put me to work or whatever. Anything other than keeping me in that room."

"Hm. Well that's an interesting request. Or is it the fact that a prisoner like you thinks they can actually MAKE requests that is interesting?" Trunks replied with his trademark smirk.

"I don't care what you say; I'll fight you before I let you cage me any longer. I swear to God Trunks, if you let me go free, I'll make things between our kingdoms better! You'll see..."

"Really? I wonder how a stupid thing like that got in your head. What makes you think that's even possible...or wanted?" Trunks chuckled in amusement.

"Not wanted? You don't want peace? So what the hell is West K's agenda? Why do you keep fighting us like this?"

"Why? Simple." Trunks began to slowly make his way toward Pan as he spoke, "We continue to fight because you continue to oppose. And, apparently your dirt bag family caused our Queen to die and when they realized what they did, they ran like the cowards they are."

"And just how did we cause her death? Did you forget my mother and grandmother were killed too? Why the hell would we cause our own mothers and wives to be killed, huh Trunks? Think about it for one second."

Stopping right in front of Pan, Trunks leaned in until his breath touched her ear when he whispered, "I have thought very hard about it. And that's why I said 'apparently'. I don't believe a Goddamn thing Nappa says. Never did and I never will."

Forgetting her uncomfortable situation, Pan's eyes widened. "Are you telling me Nappa was the one who told you what happened that day? No wonder everything's all messed up! Your dad has been listening to the wrong person."

"Why? You know something I don't? You WERE there, were you not? Why does it feel like you know even less than I do?" Trunks inquired suspiciously.

Moving away from him, Pan placed her hands on the window sill as she stared out of the window. "That's because I don't. I shouldn't even be telling you this but, I can't remember a single thing from that day. All I remember is playing with your sister in the rose garden. Then hearing...screaming and...And everything went straight to hell. I don't remember anything after that." Pan felt her eyes well for the first time for a long time. 'Yeah right, like I'd ever give him the satisfaction.' She thought as she quickly wiped her eyes.

"Well, that sucks. I was on my way to get you on Vegeta's command but he cancelled. He was gonna ask you what you knew about that day." Once again, Trunks made his way over to Pan until he was close enough to whisper, "he thinks everything that's happened so far is a bit too fishy for his liking."

Turning to face Trunks, Pan replied, "I don't know anything, just like I said. But what I'd like to know is why YOU'RE telling me this. And why it took so long for your father to realize everything was too 'fishy'. And if you knew something wasn't right, why didn't you do something about it? Your father probably would've listened to a parrot if it claimed it knew what went on that day."

"Well, first of all, I don't give a damn about what happened. Telling Vegeta or even telling you my thoughts right now isn't gonna bring Her back, so what's the point? If the purpose of my existence is to bring death, then putting all my energy in a lost cause doesn't really help my purpose. As for why Vegeta is so slow...well that's something you'll have to ask him yourself. Now, I've had enough chit chat for one day. Hall your ass back to your cell now."

"I told you, I'm not going back there. I dunno what's going on here, but I intend to get the full story. Com'mon Trunks, I know under that serious demeanour, there's a guy who wants to know who killed his mother as much as I want to know who killed mine. Please," slowly Pan out stretched her hand to the man before her, "help me."

As still as a statue, Trunks stared at her hand for a good minute. Then, as if for the first time, Trunks' face softened as he reached for Pan.

'I can't believe it! He's actually gonna help me! This is awso...'

Then, before Pan could finish her thought, Trunks grabbed her wrist and in one sharp motion, whipped her arm behind her back and slammed her face into the wall.

"Ow! Goddamn you Trunks!" Pan squealed in pain, surprise and disappointment.

"He he hahahaha! What, did I fool you? Com'mon, do you really think I'm gonna help someone who happens to be a part of the number one enemy of my Kingdom? You stupid eastern bitch, I otta break your neck for being such an idiot." Pulling Pan from the wall, Trunks dragged her toward the floor which her room occupied.

'No, I won't allow him to ruin this chance for me. Hopefully this works...'

Bowing her head, Pan began to sob so loud, it echoed throughout the halls.

"I CAN'T BELIEVE IT! YOU TRICKED ME! What did I ever do to you, you big meanie?! All I ever wanted to do was to be your wife! Maybe even have a few babies. IS THAT SO WRONG??"

Looking back and forth rather sheepishly at the guards and maids passing by, Trunks pushed Pan into a deserted room.

"You little bitch. I'm gonna rip that tongue right out of your mouth."

Loosening one hand, Trunks locked the door.

'NOW!' As fast as she could move, Pan unwound her arm from Trunks' grip and as hard as she could, smashed her knee right in his stomach and brought her elbow down on his back. Totally winded, Trunks lay in a fetal position holding his stomach as Pan towered over him.

"You...little...-cough cough-...I'm gonna..."

"Save it, asshole. I'm not gonna allow you or your stupid Father to come between me and the truth. Have a nice hang over!" Pan pulled her foot back and kicked Trunks right into unconsciousness. Looking around, Pan realized she was in a storage room surrounded by what looked like old training vests and spandex suits.

'How unbelievably lucky!'

Pan quickly changed into one of the training outfits. Realising her long hair wouldn't do, she found a rusty pair of scissors and cut her locks in a boyish way. Putting the hair in her discarded clothes, Pan opened the door making sure that no one saw her. She then closed the door, locking it into place, smashed the locking mechanism and took off down the hall.

'That should slow him down. He's gonna be one pissed off Saiyan when he wakes up. I better not be around when that happens.'

Sprinting from one place to another, Pan made a sharp turn right into her worst nightmare.

Looking down at Pan, Nappa wore an inquisitive look on his face.

"What're you doing here?"

"I...I...I'm..." Pan stuttered thinking she was caught for sure.

"Shouldn't you be in Training?"

"I'm...in training...I've actually l-lost my way..."

"Tsh. Listen, you idiot. Get your ass downstairs and outside. If you need someone to draw you a damn map, ask one of the guards for help. And throw that shit out while you're at it." Nappa said as he turned and made his way down the hall.

'I know I've seen that guy before. Better keep an eye on him.'

Waiting for her heart to stop pounding so hard, Pan began to contemplate how she could be so lucky in such a seemingly hopeless situation.

'Wait a sec, Nappa just gave me a great idea! Maybe training isn't such a bad idea. Not only do I have a place to hide out for a while, but I can get some info from the trainee's at the same time. Besides, I have no idea how to get around this place and sprinting back and forth is too suspicious. Well, training grounds, here I come!'

Running down the hall toward the stairs, Pan disposed of her hair and old clothes and made her way to training. Little did she know her luck was about to be shot to hell...

Hello all! Words can't express how sorry I am for the laaate update. However, I have a new laptop and connection, so updating shouldn't be too hard. I'm also editing my story because looking through it now, I can see a few BIG mistakes.

Well that's all for now!
