Chapter 36: Teal Vs. Pan
"Son, call that girl of yours, but tell her I wanna talk to her!" Pan growled as Boxer hesitantly nodded
"I wanna know what he did to me, so I can get it out of me and kick his ass!" She growled even louder.
"This should be interesting!" Vegeta said with an evil smirk as Boxer dialed for teal.
"Teal? Hi yah it's me, um could you come over now?" he asked nervously
"Yah, um my mom wants to talk to you...no don't worry, it's nothing like that...she's in a surprisingly good mood right now!" He said smiling at his mother
"Yah now would be good...ok see yah soon...bye!" Boxer smiled as he hung up the phone.
"She should be here any moment now mom!" he said placing the phone back into his pocket.
"OK, I want you to go and meet her upstairs and bring her down here since I can't move my legs, everyone else I want you to stand against the walls, and Bulma dim the lights so the light above me is the only one visible. And by all means don't interfere unless I ask ok?" She said seriously to everyone as they nodded and got into place.
"I will hide your Ki, don't worry, they were smart to take my legs but I still have my arms!" She said cracking her knuckles as she prepared shields to cover each man, individually.
"Mom, will you guys be ok?" Boxer asked concerned
"Yah, son don't worry, we will be fine!" She smiled at him as she held her stomach
About 5minutes later the doorbell rang and Boxer answered it, bringing Teal slowly down stairs.
"Why did your mom wanna talk to me down here?" She asked nervously
"Well she's a little sick, and grandma has advised her to not leave this room!" She said opening the door to the medical room. The room was dark except for the light that was shining down on pan that was now lying back on the bed covered in her blanket. Boxer walked Teal over to Pans side and slowly woke her up. Pan only acted like she was sick and asleep. Oblivious to everyone else, King Zanz had contacted Teal to let her know that he had attacked Aurora and made her paralyzed but he did not tell Teal who aurora was.
"Mom? Teals here?" He said in a whisper as pans eyes fluttered open.
"Oh, hi teal!" She said in the calmest voice she could make up
"HI, Mrs. Briefs, how are you, are you ok?" Teal actually sounded concerned
Pan nodded to Boxer, as boxer took a couple steps back.
"Um actually teal" She said breaking off to sit up and continue "That's what I wanted to talk to you about?" She said in a growl
"What can I do?" Teal sounded nervous.
"You know what's wrong with me and I want it to stop!" Pan growled louder at Teal
"What are you talking about?" Teal said with a shaky voice
"Don't play dumb with me zanzite, you know exactly what I'm talking about!" Pan growled as she tried to get up from the bed, immediately she fell the second her feet touched the ground. Trunks wanted to run to her but Boxer beat him to the chase and caught Pan before she hit the ground. Pan was gripping her chest from the pain of just standing up. She looked up from her chest to teal with rage in her eyes.
"What's wrong Mrs. Briefs?" Teal asked a little concerned
"You would know, your bastard of a king did this to me, or should I say your mate!" Pan spat out at Teal as Boxer held Pan around her waist to steady her.
"What...How did you know that? And what do you mean he did this to you?" Teal asked a little confused and nervous.
"My mother can't move because of him!" Boxer growled at Teal as Pan gasped for air.
"He told her already, this morning right, he contacted you!" Pan said through a growl before Teal could interrupt
"How did you know that? Wait? You mean it was you?" Teal growled out as she took her fighting stance and Powered up turning her hair green and eyes blue.
"OF COURSE IT IS!" Pan growled deeper.
"How is it that a weak saiyan is aurora? Hmm? Is that even possible? Well we should soon find out!" Teal growled as she slowly moved closer to pans weak body.
"Stay away from her Teal!" Boxer growled as he placed himself in front of pan.
"Awh! Come on babe; don't be like that, I don't want to have to kill you too!" She spoke sarcastically still slowly approaching as Pan growled. The men along the wall wanted nothing more than to jump out and kill her, but they were doing as pan wished.
"Teal, I'm warning you! I won't let you hurt her!" He said powering up to super saiyan. Pan was trying hard to keep to her consciousness but the pain was intensifying with every second she was standing there.
"Oh? Are you now, well then I have no choice!" She growled as she started to form a red ball in the palm of her hand with an evil smirk across her face. Pan knew no one could block that that was the shot that hit her, even if it wasn't as powerful as the kings, it still packed a punch. Boxer held his hands in front of him still in super saiyan form, waiting to rebound it.
Teal just smirked bigger as she let the ball go, flying at impossible speed towards her. Pan knew she was the only one that could stop it. Pan took a few deep breaths before she let aurora take over her body, in this form she could barely feel the pain but she knew it was there. Before anyone could blink she was standing in front of Boxer with the red blast in the palm of her hand. Teal took a couple steps back as she recognized the woman standing in front of her. White hair, with blue streaks, blue eyes, white spandex and tattoos from her eyes to her neck. Pan smirked up at Teals shocked face as she took retreating steps back. Pan crushed her hand around that red ball in her hand, causing a small explosion in his fist.
"au...r...o...ra?" Teal stuttered nervously
"So what were you saying about weak saiyans?" Pan said mockingly as she put her hands on her hips.
"It's an honor to meet the princess!" Teal said kneeling down
"Don't bow to me you filth! You tried to hurt my son!" Pan growled as she started to move closer then stopped, smirking evilly. Without Teal noticing, Pan phased quickly in front of Teal with her hand around her neck, raising her against the wall in the air. Teal was gasping for air as her power dropped from lack of air.
"Now tell me, what did the king do to me, and how do I get rid of it?" Pan spat at her as she growled in her face.
"I don't know what you're talking about?" Teal said nervously
"Don't play dumb with me, because I have no patience for you anymore!" Pan yelled as she prepared a fist in front of her face.
"He paralyzed you?" Teal asked
"Obviously!" Boxer yelled
"Well I can't help you, only he can!" Teal said through tears
'WHAT?" Boxer yelled
"He's the only one that can take the pain away!" She said softly
"So what happens if I kill him, will it go away?" Pan asked calmly
"Should, yah!" Teal said
"Well then I see no need for you to be still alive!" Pan whispered in her ear with a smirk. Pan retracted her hand before forcing it towards her face, but something caught Pans arm as she turned around to see Trunks and Goku's arms around hers, using everything they have trying to hold her back. Pan looked at them confused, but Trunks and goku just shook their heads no. She looked back to Teals limp and unconscious body and let her go, letting her fall to the ground. Bulma and bra came running in as a shocked look came across their face, first because pan was actually standing without any help and second, Teal was now lying unconscious on the ground in front of pan. They knew what happened but they didn't expect pan to go so far.
"Pan, how are you standing up right now? Do you feel any pain?" Bulma said hesitantly as she stood in front of pan in aurora form. She felt a little agitated and scared being this close to her like this. All the men in the room could feel it.
"Um pan, could you power down, your scaring my mother?" Trunks said with a little chuckle. Pan just smiled and powered down enough that her eyes went back to its normal color, but she held on to enough so she couldn't feel the pain.
"Sorry bulma!" Pan said with the famous son smile, and scratching the back of her head son style
"Anyways, how is the pain?" Bulma said checking her over.
"Well when I'm in this form I'm fine, but once I let it all go it will come back, and probably twice as intense!" She said cringing her teeth at the thought of it.
"Well panny, you know you can't stay in this form forever, it's gonna take a toll on your energy, and you need that to fight with us!" Goku said caringly with a smile. Pan smiled back at him and then looked to Trunks.
"King Zanz expected me to be paralyzed and not able to fight him when he comes. His plan was to do that and kill you guys, making it easier to take me, but he never expected for aurora to be immune to that!" Pan said with a smile
"Pan, I want you to power down so you can get some rest, the king should be landing within the next few days!" Trunks said putting his hands on her stomach and continuing "And I don't want you to hurt her; she's probably being drained too!" Trunks said looking down at her stomach.
"She's fine, her energy level is so high, so I know she's ok but I guess you are right, it's just that I know this is going to hurt!" Pan said closing her eyes. She let her power go, after a split second she fell towards the ground screaming while holding her chest. Trunks and Boxer caught her, trunks pulled her into his arms and took her over to the table. They had to tie her down to the table because she was thrashing around, trying to sit up. She screamed for 10 minutes straight until Bulma gave her a high dose of morphine. She finally fell asleep after 3 more doses of morphine, all the saiyan men were thankful that the screaming was over, it felt like their ears were bleeding.
"Damn! Your woman can scream, Geez!" Vegeta said to Trunks while rubbing his ears
"Yah, I know, she's got her mother's lungs!" Gohan said getting off the ground where he sat
"Ha-ha! That almost sounded like Chichi when she was giving birth to you guys!" Goku said laughing as he pointed to Gohan and Goten.
"So what do we do now?" Trunks asked getting up from the chair next to pan
"Well for one, your woman needs to get some rest or she'll won't be able to beat that bastard, and we need to train until then!" Vegeta said crossing his arms while leaving the room. Trunks knew his father was right and the men followed him to train again, bulma was instructed to stay by pans side no matter what and that if she woke up or if anything bad happened to radio for them in the GR. Bulma sat at her desk, just staring at pans limp body lying on the table in front of her. This girl had to be the strongest woman she's ever seen or known. She was so proud of her, since she was small; Bulma always looked at her as a second daughter. Pan hung out at their house every day after school with Bra, Trunks and Goten, until Trunks started bringing home his 'bed buddies', that's when she stopped coming over. But bulma knew all along that they would end up together one way or another, but she never expected all of this to happen to them. You needed to have a strong heart and strong mind to deal with the things Pan and Trunks had to go through to save the planet. Bulma knew this fight would be the one to take the cake with all the fights they had been involved with. Inside she prayed that Pan would find the strength and power to defeat this monster that was headed this way.
