Chapter 44: The End
"I will not let some monster like you destroy this family!" Goku growled and he flew at King Zanz transforming into super saiyan 4 in midair catching king Zanz off guard. Unknown to King Zanz goku had already prepared his Kamehameha all he had to do was get close enough. He let go of his shot which hit King Zanz in his chest, shooting through his chest and hitting the tree behind him. King Zanz fell to the ground in shock that he was actually taken down by a pathetic saiyan. Goku smiled inside that his plan had actually hit him and with such force. King Zanz slowly got up and smiled at goku.
"You think such a weak hit would kill me, well you're sorely mistaken!" King Zanz growled as he ready his hand for his finishing hit. Goku stared at him in horror as he saw the red light appearing in his hand. All of a sudden King Zanz stopped his attack and fell to the ground screaming in pain. Goku was a little confused until he felt something brush his shoulder. He turned to see pan in trunks arms with her arm out towards the fallen man. She was noticeably in pain from the look on her face and trunks.
"Pan, what are you doing?" Goku asked astonished that she was still using her power considering her condition.
"I will not let him hurt anyone else!" She said through her teeth.
"Trunks put me down, I wanna finish this!" She said as she turned her attention towards trunks. He shook his head disagreeing.
"Trunks I said PUT ME DOWN, DAMN IT!" Pan snapped as trunks eyes widen.
"But pan your hurt!" He said softly
"Would you put me the hell down before I blast you instead?" She said through her teeth as he nodded and placed her gently down. Immediately she grabbed at her stomach in pain but pushed forward. She stopped halfway and bent over throwing up blood. The men saw that and began running to her until they ran straight into a wall. They stared at pan in confusion until they saw the blue shield that was now in front of them.
"PAN, LET ME IN!" Trunks said pounding on it. Pan straightened up and turned her head towards him with a smile.
"What…are…..you…..doing…to…me?" King Zanz asked through his pain.
"You are going to die for what you have done to me and my family!" She said as she smiled and squeezed her hand into a fist, causing him to scream louder.
"Trunks, if anything happens to me, be sure to get her out!" Pan spoke through the bond
"What are you talking about? Let me in so I can help you!" Trunks screamed outraged
"No, just know that I love you!" she said blocking out his response from her.
Pan smiled at him and turned back to King Zanz, finally squeezing her hand into a full fist, as king Zanz eyes widely opened and his body went limp. Blood began to spill from his mouth as pan smiled and looked down to her stomach. She then felt the worst pain she has felt since and fell to the ground unconscious. The shield fell and Trunks, Boxer and Goku ran to her. She was still alive but just barely.
They quickly got everyone down to bulma, taking a few trips since there were so many hurt. When Trunks brought pan in, bulma, chichi, videl and bra immediately operated on her to get the baby out safety. Trunks stood at the head of pan, holding her hand, watching her unconscious face. He stared at her face in a trance until he was broken out of it at the sound of a baby crying. He quickly looked up to see his mother holding a baby wrapped in a blanket. Bulma smiled down at her while she cleared the blood and fluids from her mouth. She passed her to chichi and chichi took her to videl and bra and cleaned her up, doing a little check up on the side. Videl began to cry at the sight of her unhurt granddaughter, chichi and bra soon joined in. Videl wrapped her up again and walked over to trunks.
"She's beautiful trunks!" Videl said as she handed her over to trunks.
Trunks was quickly taken over by his emotions as he stared into the beautiful black eyes of his daughter. She was indeed beautiful as Pan and aurora had said. She had her mother's beautiful black eyes and his lavender hair in curls hanging from her face. She stopped her crying as she looked up into the eyes of her father. She slowly raised her hand to touch his face.
"Hi sweetie, I'm your daddy!" He said as he began to cry with a smile on his face, he leaned down a kissed her cheek causing her to laugh. All the women in the room smiled at the sound as Bulma finished up with pan.
"Is she going to be ok?" Trunks asked his mother.
"I don't know for sure son!" She said as the women helped bulma carry pan over to the regeneration tank. They placed her in there and turned it on, watching her float there. Soon there was a knock at the door. In walked all the men that were healed and conscious.
"Where's my great granddaughter?" Goku said barging in, and looking around
"Goku!" Trunks called out to him as goku ran to his side. He smiled down at the baby and looked up at trunks.
"She's beautiful trunks, may I hold her?" Goku asked
"Sure!" He said giving her to goku. Goku smiled down at her as she giggled at goku.
"Hi little one, I'm your favorite great-grandpa!" Goku said as Vegeta complained.
"Kakkarot, you're her ONLY great grandfather!" Vegeta said as he approached goku
"Oh what's with the sour face Vegeta, you wanna hold her too?" Goku said looking up into the shocked eyes of Vegeta.
"What's a matter dad?" Trunks asked seeing his father's look.
"She has aurora in her?" He said softly as Trunks looked at his daughter in horror.
"Then that would mean pan doesn't?" Trunks said looking towards pan.
"That's right trunks!" A female voice said from the corner of the room
"Aurora?" Gohan asked as he walked in the room. She soon came out of the shadows and smiled.
"Thank you for everything you warriors have done for me and pan, but in the future I will be needed again, so I have entrusted my power with your daughter. Pan has been through enough, she has made me very proud!" Aurora said with a smile and continued "Please tell her thank you for me when she wakes up!" Aurora said as she bowed towards the warriors and disappeared
"So trunks what are you going to name her?" Goten asked as he tickled the baby from behind goku
"I don't know yet?" He said putting his hand on the glass.
"Can I name her?" Goku asked as everyone fell anime style.
"Um dad, I don't think that's a good idea?" Gohan said hesitantly as he scratched the back of his head.
"Sure goku give it a try!" Trunks said taking everyone by surprise. Goku smiled and nodded a thank you.
"So what's her name goku?" Chichi asked nervously, hoping it wasn't something stupid.
"Hope Aurora Briefs!" Goku said smiling at the little girl in his arms. It took everyone by surprise how close these two already were and how well the name fit with the child.
"Goku? That's a beautiful name!" Videl said through tears as she smiled down at her granddaughter.
"Thanks Goku, Pan will love that name!" Trunks said smiling towards goku. Goku nodded in agreement.
"Hey so can I hold my little sister or are all you people going to suffocate her?" Boxer asked from the doorway. Everyone laughed as Goku passed her to Boxer. Boxer smiled down at her as she smiled back.
"Hi Hope, I'm your big brother Boxer! I promise I will always be there to protect you!" Boxer said leaning over and kissing her cheek.
"AWWWW! Where's my camera?" Bulma asked searching her desk. Vegeta rolled his eyes and shot a small Ki blast at her camera lying on the other side. Bulma jumped and then noticed what he had done.
"Oops?" Vegeta said adding a throaty laugh
"Vegeta! What the hell was that for?" She said picking up the broken pieces from the ground.
"Thanks grandpa!" Boxer said laughing as bulma shot him a death stare. Vegeta just nodded in acknowledgement to his grandson and left the room soon everyone left, leaving goku holding hope and trunks alone.
"Trunks what's wrong?" Goku asked as he placed his now sleeping great-granddaughter in a crib beside the tank.
"I hope pan forgives me for what I did?" Trunks said in a whisper as Goku walked to his side.
"Don't worry trunks, from what I saw today, she will!" Goku said smiling at trunks. Goku soon left to join the others upstairs. Trunks pulled up a chair and sat next to the tank.
"Pan I hope you can forgive me?" He said softly as he closed his eyes.
"Trunks?" He heard pans voice as his eyes shot open as he looked at the tank. She was nowhere in sight, the tank was still full but she was gone.
"PAN! PAN?" Trunks yelled quickly standing up from his chair turning on the lights to the room. His eyes finally adjusted as he saw a figure standing in front of the tank.
"Pan?" He asked confused
"Hi trunks!" She said as her body came into view. Her hair and eyes were finally back to normal and he knew they would stay that way from now on. Trunks smiled at her and ran into her arms crying. He pulled away and pulled her into a passionate kiss almost suffocating her. She pulled away and wiped his face with the towel that was wrapped around her.
"Pan, I'm so sorry for everything I did, I love you!" He said as he held her face in his hands smiling. She smiled back at him and kissed his cheek.
"I love you too Trunks, but, if you ever do that to me again, I'll kill you!" She said through her teeth as she poked him in the chest. He just laughed and nodded, pulling her into another hug. Soon a baby cry could be heard. Pan snapped out of it and smiled up at Trunks.
"Can I see her?" She asked as he nodded and guided her to the crib, pulling Hope out and into pans arms.
"She's beautiful!' Pan said with a smile as a tear escaped her eyes, looking up to trunks she smiled and continued "What's her name?" She asked.
"Hope Aurora Briefs!" He said with pride
"That's a beautiful name; did you come up with it?" She asked hesitantly,
"Actually, it was Goku's pick!" He said waiting for her reply
"WHAT?" She said shocked
"Yup he did it!" Trunks said laughing
"Well I like it but its missing something?" She said looking up to him
"And what would that be?" Trunks asked confused
"It's a secret, could you help me upstairs?" She asked as she pulled herself up from the seat. He nodded and helped her up the stairs. Making her way into the living room, she was soon mobbed by thank yous and hysterical cries coming from the women. Pan finally sat down as everyone soon joined her.
"Grandpa, thanks for naming her, but I wanted to add something to it, if that's ok?" She asked goku as he nodded and everyone quieted down to hear her.
"I want her name to be 'Hope-Aurora Trunks Vegeta Goku Briefs'! She said as she looked into the shocked faces of everyone in the room.
'Really?" Goku voices screeched with hopefulness
"Yah, I want her named after the 3 men that saved us!" She said with a smile
"Thanks brat!" Vegeta said with a smile
Pan smiled and looked down to her sleeping child in her arms and then up to her husband. Boxer sat on the opposite side of her with his arm around his mother's shoulder.
"I love you guys!" She said as Boxer smiled and kissed her cheek. Trunks smiled and kissed her head, Hope smiled in her sleep. This was the start of their beautiful family and then end of the fighting, or so they thought!
I would like to thank everyone who has stuck to my story through the thick and thin. Thank you for your support and reviews, I couldn't have done it without you. I'm thinking of making a sequel for when Hope is grown but not too sure. Mahalo nu'i loa! (Thank you very much)
