Note: Hello peoples! In the previous chapters, I forgot to give the ages of
the characters. Pan is 20, Trunks is 34, Bra is 21, Goten is 25, and Marron is
24, and Mirai Trunks is 24. Well, I'm sorry if it takes too long for me to
write a chapter, but college homework is double than what you get in high
school, and the reading is triple. Please forgive me and have patience. I will
TRY to at least get a chapter every two days. Thanks, now on to the story!
Chapter3:
The Trap

"Get your paws off me!" Marron yelled at Trunks. "Your hands are
touching private territory!!"
Their landing was
anything but graceful, yet they were all thankful that they happened to crash
into the trees, instead of solid ground.
Bra happened to fall in the lake below the
trees, Goten by the shore, and Pan was hanging from a limb. Marron had landed
on the ground, with Trunks on top.
"Sorry about that." Trunks grinned, impishly. He was glad to have the
excuse of the crash for landing on top of Marron.
The planet they had
landed seemed deserted, with no occupants that could've helped the group. It
seemed they landed in a tropical forest, with the green scenery enveloping the
young people who had almost lost their lives a couple of minutes before.
Trunks glanced around
to see how everyone else was, forgetting a moment of his advantage. Trunks
began to laugh hysterically when he saw Bra in the lake, soaking wet, and Pan
hanging from the tree.
"Hey Pan, hanging around?!" Trunks said with laughter in his voice.
"Ha, ha! Very funny!! I'd like to see how you would deal if it would've
been you in my position." Pan stated angrily. 'Oh, Dende, give me patience with
this man! As much as I love him, I want to just smack him real hard at this
moment. Why did you let him land on top of Marron? Damn, my luck is turning for
the worst!' Pan thought.
"Hey Bra!" Trunks yelled, now turning to taunt his sister, "Man, it
looks as though the "Spoiled Little Princess" just got her spoiled little bath!
Hey, make sure that the plastic your wearing didn't shrink!"
Goten turned her way,
and boy did his eyes pop out. It looked like he was drooling too. Trunks
noticed, and punked Goten too.
"Hey Goten, if your eyes popped out anymore, I'd swear you were a
blowfish. Do you need a cup to collect your drool too?" Trunks stated, laughing
at his own stupid remarks.
Since Pan was already
up in the tree, the group asked if she could please take out the entire
luggage. Pan smirked, not liking one bit that while Bra and Goten were cuddling
each other, glad they had survived, Trunks was trying to make the same moves on
Marron.
"Hey, does it look like I'm a bell boy?!" Pan yelled back furiously.
"Nope, but you come so close to it that it scares me." Trunks said
back.
No one noticed how Pan
quietly and quickly turned around, with tears streaming down her face. 'Is that
all he thinks of me? Just a tomboy who looks like a bellboy? But I WILL show
him how much of a woman I am, if it's the last thing I do! And he'll regret not
ever taking an interest on me.'
Pan reluctantly took
out the entire luggage, the first aid kit, and, luckily, she found two tents in
the back of the jet with the supplies. As for food, they only had the junk food
they carried with them on the trip, and a few capsules that Pan had brought
along, just in case of an emergency. 'Well, this calls for an emergency, but
I'm not going to use the capsules until I see that we truly need them.' Pan had
a food capsule, a motorboat capsule (since they were going to spend their
vacation by the beach, Pan thought a boat capsule would be good to carry
around), a medication capsule, and a blank capsule. It's not that Pan was a greedy
person, but until she noticed that the capsules were really necessary, she
would use them.
"Hey, why don't we try using our powers again?" Suggested Pan.
"Good idea, Pan." The whole group chirped anxious to see if their power
failure was only temporary. Try as they might, not one of them succeeded.
"Maybe we should just rest a moment, to recover our energy, and then
try again. After all, we all just thought we were going to die, and that scare
must have done something to our powers." Marron suggested.
"I don't think it was the scare. This planet has a weird creepy
feeling, and I do not like it one bit. I want to go home as soon as possible,
and if we stop to rest, we would only be wasting time. I think that we should
just move on and try to find or locate anything that can help us." Suggested
Bra.
"I think we should stay as a group, because even though we could still
sense our ki, we don't know if it'll last or if we can depend upon it here. If
we stay as a group, and danger should fall upon us, then we would be better off
fighting together than separated." Pan replied.
They all walked
together, going throughout the immense tropical forest. Pan could sense
something bad, but she couldn't quite explain why.
"Is it just me, or does you sense something strange or dangerous?"
Replied Trunks, getting very worried about their surroundings.
"I was feeling the same way too, except I didn't want to say anything
about it because I thought you guys would make fun of me." Exclaimed Pan.
Trunks turned to look
at Pan, sensing her worry. 'Dende, how she has grown up. Too bad I already have
my eyes set on Marron, otherwise I'd be chasing after her' thought Trunks. With
everybody else distracted in their own thoughts, no one heard the swish of the
net falling down upon them. It was a trap!
"I knew something bad was going to happen! I could sense it, but I
ignored it cause I thought it was the planet that were making my senses go
wired." Yelled Goten.
"Too late for that! We have got to get out of here!" Marron exclaimed.
"Let's try to rip the net!!"
"You really are an airhead!" Exclaimed Pan. "If you would know
anything, you'd know that we can't break through this solid, thick rope! I know
we cant just stay here and wait to see what happens, but anyone else think they
know how to get out of here?" There was complete silence. "Just as I thought.
So I suggest we TRY to remain calm, and see who our enemies are."
Even though Pan
suggested everybody to be calm, inside she was anything but calm. Her nerves were excruciating her, and she
felt such helplessness for not being able to do anything about it.
Just then, a tall
figure approached them. They couldn't see his face since the sun shining on the
group's face made it hard for them too see.
"Calm down! I won't harm you if you remain silent and hold still. I
want to know how you came to be here, and if there is a way to get out." A deep
commanding voice bellowed.
'If my senses weren't
going haywire, I'd swear that was Trunks talking, but in a more deep commanding
tone' thought Pan. But even through that commanding tone, Pan felt at ease,
which was strange. 'Boy, my senses and feelings are both going haywire!'
Just as Trunks was
about to answer the man, or whatever it was, the 'mysterious person' began walking
around studying them.
"Answer me!!" the figure stated very angrily.
Suddenly, he turned sideways, and the whole
group gasped, awed and amazed at what appeared before their eyes.
"But…h-how could this be?!" Trunks and Bra stated, mouths wide open, staring
intensely at the figure above them……..
~ * ~ * ~ * Hello peoples, Mirai Trunks Lover here. Oh, the suspense,
even though I know some of the readers already figured out who the mysterious
person is. So, how'd you like the story? Hope to hear from all of you soon, and
