Chapter 21: Pans fight!
Pan knew she was the only one, again, that could fight this person. The other saiyan men were still a little weak from the large amount of poison gas they took on. But still they stood their ground flanking pan but pan had other ideas.
*Guys I will take care of this by myself!* She let everyone know
*Pan we can help you!* her father answered her
*No! What you guys need to do is get the women and get them to safety, the king should be arriving within the hour and I don't want the women to still be tied up when he comes, plus they need to be healed, ok boxer?* She spoke to all of them again.
*Yes mother, I will try and heal them, it's just that I haven't done it since I was a baby so I really don't know how to control it!* Boxer said as he reached ahead of him to hold his mother's hand.
*Son, when the time comes, you will know! Plus bikini is still in the forest, she will be afraid if she wakes up and no one is there!* She said to boxer as she squeezed his hand.
*Get the women to safety now!* She said as she let go of boxer's hand
The men nodded but never left her side. Even Vegeta was hesitant about leaving pans side, and that was surprising even himself. He knew his feelings towards pan and that it made him a little over-protective of her, even though he didn't need to, but he wasn't going to admit that to anyone. Trunks leaned forward and held pans hand as she turned to him confused.
* I told you to leave and get them to safety!* Pan said a little angry through the bond
*I'm not leaving your side again, they can take care of the women but I need to take care of MY woman!* He said with a smile and squeezed her hand harder to let her know he was serious. She smiled at him and nodded.
*I will keep you safe, I promise* She said as she turned her attention to the other men.
*Get the women to the tree line and heal them boxer! You don't want the women here when the king comes!*
*How are we supposed to get them mom, if Rajen on the outside of the shield, he won't let us near them!*
Even Vegeta had to agree with that, he saw the way this monster moved, he was quick and Vegeta had no way of reading his next move. Even he was a little hesitant about fighting Rajen.
*I will help you!* with that said she turned her attention towards the women and closed her eyes. She raised one hand up towards the women and grunted. Rajen stared at her confused.
"What do you think you're doing?" Rajen asked confused. He watched as the women that hung on the poles phase out of view.
"Hey! What's going on? Where did they go?" Rajen asked in disbelief
"Here!" Pan said as the women phased into the shield lying on the floor as she opened her eyes and let down her hand.
The men ran to their mates and cried into their chests, taking their own jackets off to cover their women. Vegeta was the first one to look up towards pan and took her by surprise yet again.
"I'm proud of you brat, thank you!" Vegeta said as he grabbed bulma up into his arms. Pan just smiled and nodded.
"Ok boxer take care of them!" Boxer nodded to his mother as they walked towards the edge of the tree line. She let the shield follow them making herself and trunks vulnerable to the enemy but she didn't care.
"So it looks like the pretty lady is going to fight me?" Rajen asked as he acted like he was stretching
Pan smiled and said "Looks have got nothing to do with it!"
"Ohhhh! I like a girl with a little attitude but just because you can do all those little tricks don't mean you can beat me, we mages are indestructible!" He said puffing up his chest.
"Oh yah right, and that's exactly what your prince told before I killed him!" She said getting in her fighting stance. Rajen stood there in shock and disbelief, no way and girl could have beaten the prince.
"Wait? What? We heard it was the saiyans who beat him, not a GIRL!"
"Like I said before you shouldn't believe everything your told and plus I am a saiyan!" Pan said letting go of trunks hand.
"You! A saiyan? Doesn't matter, I was stronger than that measly prince anyways, no saiyan can beat me!"
"We'll just see about that!" Pan growled as she got into her fighting stance.
"Yes we will!" Rajen said as he lunged at her, barely missing her with the claws that took over his hands. Pan just stood there almost in a blur as she moved faster than any normal saiyan could. Trunks stayed out of the fight, just watching from the sidelines. He knew his wife could handle herself no matter what this man fished out. Pan didn't want too much of her power to come out, so she let some of it. The winds began to encircle her feet again, not too strong but strong enough to notice there was something strange about her.
She knew he would notice but she stood there with a smile on her face and he again flew at her with his claws drawn for her throat. She ducked in time and pulled the same move she pulled on the prince and lunged her hand into his chest, right through to the back. She smiled and leaned down to his ear as he coughed up blood.
"That's for hurting my family, and just so you know, that's the same trick I did on your prince!" With that she pulled out of his chest and watched him fall to the ground. But he flipped over and smiled at her through bloody teeth.
"You think everything was about you, well think again!" He spat at as he looked behind her with a smile. She turned around to see one of Rajen claws through Trunks chest. She watched in horror as trunks fell to the ground holding the claw that now stuck out from where his heart is. She was pissed and everyone felt it. She turned towards Rajen barely alive body and her eyes quickly turned bright blue as her hair when white within seconds. Rajen stared at her in horror as he recognized the tattoos slowly appearing under her eyes.
"How is it possible that you are still alive?" He knew who she was
"The king might have killed my physical body but my power was given to this young girl to get rid of filthy trash like you!" She spat out with a growl as she pulled a lightning bolt out of the ground and wrapped her arm in it, and then pointed it towards Rajen.
"You will die a horrible death for what you have done to my mate!" With that said she let the lightning go, striking him straight in the heart, immediately killing him on the spot.
Once she knew he was dead, she ran over to Trunks body as his breathing went heavy. She knew she was losing him. Her aurora self-passed and she laid trunks head on her lap.
"I need to get this thing out of you, there's poison on it!" She said as she wrapped her hand around the claw and yanking it out, causing trunks to yell in pain. That quickly got everyone's attention from the tree line.
"Trunks? Trunks please, please don't leave me, I can save you!" She said through tears as she cupped his face. He was still breathing but barely and his eyes were shut
"Pan? I want you to know how much I love you and boxer! Don't worry about me!" He said as he smiled up at pan and kissed her palm. By then pan felt the familiar Ki's running towards her. The women were still not fully healed but healed enough to keep them alive but they were unconscious. The men were carrying them as Boxer ran and knelt down beside his father holding his hand.
"Dad? Please, you can't leave me or mom!" Boxer said now crying with his mother. Trunks finally opened his weak eyes and looked up at boxer.
"Son, promise me you will look after your mother and keep her safe?" Trunks said squeezing boxers hand. Pan looked over to Vegeta who was kneeling at trunks feet and saw a surprising moment, Vegeta had actually shedded a tear for trunks. He actually looked heartbroken about his son dying. Maybe because he knew that when bulma woke up and found out she would be pissed at him. She looked back down at trunks, I seemed like his breathing was getting shorter and shorter.
"Trunks! No, Trunks!" she said almost yelling at him as she reached down for his face to bring it up to meet hers in a passionate kiss. After what seemed like forever she pulled away and looked at him through tears. He let off one smile and spoke in a whisper.
"I...Love...you!" With that said he closed his eyes and everyone knew he was gone. She could no longer hear his heartbeat or feel his Ki. She cried into his chest.
"You can't leave me! Boxer, heal your father NOW!" She yelled at boxer, grabbing his hands and putting them on Trunks bloody chest.
"Mom, I'm sorry but I can't! He's gone, I can't heal the dead!" He said through tears also as he grabbed his mother into a hug. Pan cried into her son's chest as he held her and cried with her. After about 10 minutes of crying pans head shot up in the direction of the sky.
"You guys need to leave now, the king is coming!" She said quickly wiping the tears from her face and standing up.
"Were not leaving you again, we will help this time!" Goku said calmly as Vegeta nodded in agreement with him.
"Ok, Goten I need to you to watch the girls in the tree line while we take care of this." Pan asked
"Why? I can fight!" Goten asked shocked
"Brat, no you can't, you haven't trained in years and I see how you fight now, P-A-T-H-E-T-I-C!" Vegeta said adding a throaty laugh
"Whatever, but you better protect pan then!" With that said goten took the women to the tree line as Pan put a protective shield around them. Just then they could hear and feel a ship landing but they could not see it.
