Chapter 7: The Horrors of the Morning
The next morning I had woken up to thunder. I had looked all around but Trunks was no were to be seen. I herd more thunder but it wasn't the usual thunder that comes from a storm. It was the thunder of battle.
I then jumped out of bed and through on my battle clothes. I didn't even think about a shower for what good would a shower do you when you were about to fight. I than ran out of my room and down the hall and down the stairs.
As I reached the main entrance I could hear people yelling and scurrying through the castle. One of the maids than came to me as I reached the bottom of the stairs.
"Oh good you are up. Please do hurry. They need you out side in the fields. It is so very awful. Oh I hope it all ends soon."
"Hold on. Please calm down so I can understand what is going on ok. Now first of all what is happening exactly out there and where am I needed?"
"Milady, please do forgive me for my insolence. We were attacked not too long ago in the back of the castle where the armies are. I believe it is quite stupid of them to attack were the army is staying. Oh they need you in the back of the castle."
The maid then ran off blabbing how stupid this was and what things she needed to do. I then looked around remembering the way to the back of the castle. Once I got my bearings as to where I was and which way I needed to go I then ran in the direction I was needed.
I was running through the halls, dodging all the maids and servants, and I had sworn that I had herd some ones voice in my head. I just shook my head and just kept on running. I than herd something again.
*Please let me in.*
"Who's there?"
*Starlight*
I could barley hear her but it was her voice that I herd in my head. I then concentrated on her voice and opened my mind to her.
*Hurry Pan. We need all the help we can get.*
*Where are you?*
*If you will hold on a second I can get a lock on you and try to teleport you here but I also have to make sure I do not get attacked at the same time.*
I waited for a little bit and then I had the odd floating feeling in my stomach right before I was surrounded by the odd blue mist. The next thing I knew I was standing in the middle of a battle with every one I knew. There was blood on every one, even the guardians.
"Well it is about time you joined us. I was wondering when you would wake up," Trunks said to me as he blocked a punch.
"What are these creatures? I have never seen anything quite like them."
"Well, Pan, we are actually not sure what they are but Fireheart said they were some type of demons," my grandfather Goku told me.
"But why are they attacking us? I just don't understand it."
"Well from what the rest of us think is that they are trying to either weaken or forces or they are trying to destroy us straight out. Personally I think that it is the first one because no idiot would try and destroy us all out. There are too many of us to do that," Fireheart's older brother told me.
"Well it is quite nice of you to here your little assumption but will you all quit didle dadaling and get fighting. Don't make me remind you this is a war we are fighting and I am as sure as hell would not want to lose do to some idiots talking," said one of the generals but I was not sure from were.
I than began to join in the bloody battle. It was a very odd battle. Some of the Utopians were in their true form battling. They had odd silver armor on their bodies that covered them like armor for a horse from the medieval times but it looked as if it fit to the form of their bodies and was very light. The Utopians that were in their human form wore armor that was very similar to the ones in true form just made for a human.
Some how in the battle we all had gotten weapons. All of them being swords. It was a very gruesome battle. There was blood covering you from head to toe. The demon's blood was almost the same color of our blood but was much darker and stickier.
Oh how I had wished so much for the battle to stop. All you could hear was the hacking wet thud of swords hacking at bodies. You could also hear the cries of your companions and your enemy mix into awful shrills. Those with magic, meaning mostly the Utopians, were sending blast of power to try and destroy the demons. Out of the corner of my eye I say what those blast could do. Depending on how you hit them you either blew their heads off, sending all their brains flying in every direction, or blew their bodies apart, sending what was left of the body flying every where. I was covered in who knows what. Right then I learned the consequences of battle. If I had ate anything before I came out there I would have already puked it up by the time the battle realty started.
Vegeta was using the same technique to destroy out enemies. It helped save energy. But when you looked into his face that was covered in gore you could see that he really did not like this even if he once was a ruthless killer. We were all very tired and sayians can only go for so long with out food. I believe that no one was able to eat even something that morning. It had been about six in the morning when the demons had attacked and it wasn't until three in the after noon till they retreated.
It was just sudden. One second I was hacking away at bodies and sending blast at them and the next they were gone. It was as if they had done what they planned on doing and then just disappeared. Unfortunately now it was time to survey the damage.
Still covered in brains and blood we went to find the injured. I had found one of the Utopian unicorns, in true form, who were still somewhat alive but when I found out how injured I started to heave even though I had eaten nothing. His legs had been chopped off at the knees and his genitals were lying beside him. He also had a deep gash on his side. How I wondered how he could have survived that. I started to cry for I had no will power to hold it in. As I was crying he called to me.
*Come here child and listen to what I have to say.*
"What happened to you? Why did they do this to you?"
*They did this to make sure I don't come back or they will have big problems for you can't kill what is already dead. But I wouldn't be able to come back if I was in pieces.*
"What do you mean by so you won't come back?"
*Talk to Starlight on that but you really should not be in this war. Your too young and you need to live your life out. I really hope you don't have this war destroy your life.*
"You really shouldn't talk. Maybe Starlight or Fireheart can save you," I squeaked out with a sob.
** cough cough ** *No one can save me now. I'm too far gone. Do me a favor and remember what I am about to tell you for it might one day help you. Promos me.*
"I promos."
*Child follow your heart for it will tell you everything you need to know and it will always lead you to where you need to be. For one day you will be stuck in a situation and you won't know what to do than remember those words and follow them out.*
With that he died right beside me but although he was dead I still heard his voice echoed through my head and I ingrained his words into my memory. For who would have known that one day that that little advice would help me out in more than one way.
I sat there crying because I had just experienced death, I was fatigued and I felt so alone at that time. Out of nowhere a hand landed on my shoulder and pulled me into a well needed hug.
I don't know how long we sat there but finally the voice of the one who had pulled me into a strong embrace spoke to me.
"It's late and we probably better get back to the castle. We found all we could of the people who were injured. Although most of the ones who got injured didn't survive long enough for us to get help for them," a very caring Trunk said to me.
"Yeah your right. I am very hungry and I need a well-deserved bath. It looks like you wouldn't do too bad without one either."
"Pan, I kind of have some bad news for you. The reason why I came out here looking for you was we found your father. He was injured pretty bad but he is all right."
"Are you sure? We need to hurry. I want to see him to make sure."
"Don't worry, your mom is with Gohan and you need to get cleaned up and fed. You look as if some of that blood on you is some of yours and I bet it is."
"Maybe. I don't know."
"Pan! I know that under that gunk you have a few scratched and you need to have them looked at. Even Goku and Vegeta had some really nasty scratches."
"Ok so maybe I have a few but we need to get going. I am ssooo very hungry."
"All right lets go."
When we got back to the camp at the castle all you could see was people running around like chickens with their heads cut off. Trunks lead me to a tent in the middle of the camp. He was talking to me about how they had to set up tents for the wounded. The rest I didn't listen to much as Trunks led me to the tent and sat me down as a maid cleaned up my wounds. Luckily they were all shallow and I hadn't lost much blood although I was really weak and tired do to the fact that I hadn't eaten since the night before and I was really hungry.
Trunks then lead me to the castle and to our room. He started the bath water for me and left the room while I got cleaned up. When I was done and I came out of the bathroom Trunks was waiting for me. He then took me down to the kitchen and gave me food. I felt so much better when I had food in my belly.
Trunks then led me back out side through the kitchen door and back to the tents to see my father. When we reached the tents we saw all the women from the castle and earth running around the tent helping with the injured and the men waiting out side to stay out of their way. Every one, like Trunks had said, had at least two bandages on.
"Hey Pan, I see you are fine. Well be careful if you are going in there to see your dad. The women in there are in a frenzy so you better watch out," Goku said with the traditional Son grin.
"Yeah we are going to go see dad. Well I will see you all later."
I then walked into the tent and was shocked by the smell. It smelled of death and blood. It was a little revolting and made my stomach turn. After a little while of standing there at the door I got use to the smell and walked further in. I ran into my mother as I walked around searching for my father.
"Hey mom were is dad? I want to see him."
"Sweetie he is down at the end of the right side of the tent to your left. Well I have to get back to work. Give your dad my regards."
I followed the directions that my mother had given me. When I came up to my father I wanted to cry. He was all bandaged up and in a deep sleep. I could see the blood seeping through the bandages that surrounded is forehead and chest. I didn't even want to know what it looked like under those bandages. I then decided to sit down beside my poor father.
As I was sitting there I felt an odd presence but of what I was not sure.
"I am sorry that I wasn't able to protect your father very well. During the battle you all separated fare form Fireheart and I."
At the sound of that beautiful voice I spun in my seat to see Starlight in a beautiful gown and a sad look on her face.
"Do you think he will be all right?"
"Don't worry Pan. He will be all right. Right now he is in a deep healing sleep so he will be able to heal better and no he wont have any scars."
"Starlight, why did this battle happen? I always thought that battles were really neat but when I was finally in a real one that was so devastating it scared me."
"I'm sorry that it scared you so bad. I guess I am so use to death and battles that this didn't affect me as bad as it did you. But one thing is for sure is that I have never gotten use to death. I believe the reason to this battle though was to weaken us. But for what I don't really know. That is what every one is working on right now."
"Hey Starlight, when I was out there looking for survivors I ran into a Utopian in his true form. It was awful what they did to him."
"Tell me Pan, what did they do to him?"
"It is too awful. There is no way that I can describe the awful seen." These words had barely slipped out of my mouth for at the thought of the poor Utopian I could barely talk.
"It is ok. Let me into your mind and show me."
I willfully let Starlight into my mind and showed her my memory.
"Starlight? I remember he said some thing to me and he told me to ask you about it."
"Yes? What is it?"
"He said the reason why they did that to him was so he wouldn't be able to come back to life or some thing like that."
"I know what you're talking about. When we die young or from a horrible death we can come back to the living but we aren't alive. The only way that can happen is when we have little or no damage is done to the person but we have to have a lot of magical strength left when we die. The reason why they practically destroyed him is to make sure he doesn't come back. When we come back we have as much strength as when we were alive but it is hard to destroy us and the only way you can do that is to burn out our energy."
"Ok, that dose explain a lot."
"Well you better get back to the castle soon. It is getting late and don't worry about your father. He is safe here."
*****^~*~^*****
"Hey Pan, what are you doing dear?"
Oh nothing really much Trunks. I was just writing our story. I thought that some one should document these events."
"Well you need to put it down dear. It is time to go to bed. Soon we will have another battle. Starlight and Fireheart aren't sure though how long it will be though."
"All right. Good night love."
"Good night my little angel."
**So did that last part get you thinking? Sorry that this had to take so long. I have finals going on right now and I only have two weeks of school left. I like I said last time "THOSE DAMN ROMANS" they are the ones who started it all.**
**Starlight**
P.S. Here is something to make up for the long wait.
Starlight: "I'm a little tea pot."
Voice 1: "Oh no here she goes again."
Starlight: ".. short and stout. Here is my handle."
Voice 2: "So how do we stop her this time. I mean the beating didn't help but what will?"
Starlight: ".. here is my spout. When I get all steamed up."
Voice 1: "I have three words for you. `Duck Tape Mummy'."
Starlight: ".. I will shout."
`Rriipppp'
Starlight: ". Tip me over and mmm. Umm. MMMMM!!!!!"
Voice 2: "Well that solved our problem."
