Chapter 3
Training
Trunks was sitting at his desk staring blankly at the stack of papers. He sighed, his mind kept drifting back to Pan. She had said she'd train him…but could she train her tousan and Vi-chan as well? He shook his head and grabbed one of the papers. It was a letter from one of his 'fans'. He pressed a button on his phone,
"Reian, any calls just put back to my voicemail. And cancel my meetings for today." Trunks said.
"Hai, sir." Came his secretary's response. "Um… sorry to bother you sir, but there is a man out here that wants to see you."
"Let him in." Trunks groaned.
Trunks stood and walked around his desk, and was alone only for another minuet when Gohan stepped in.
"Gohan!" Trunks said surprised.
"Gomen, for barging in like this, Trunks." Gohan said, shutting the door behind him.
"Oh! That's not a problem. So…what brings you here?" Trunks asked.
"Pan…Jami can't get over the fact that Pan beat Vegeta. So do you think that you and my nii-chan could pick Ubuu up?" Gohan returned.
"Sure!" Trunks answered.
"Great! Arigato gazaimasu. Sayonara." Gohan turned to leave.
"Gohan wait…" Trunks said.
"Honto?" Gohan faced him.
"Would you mind if I took Vi-chan out for ice cream after her training?" Trunks asked.
"Oh, of course not." Gohan answered with a smile.
Pan landed in front of a small hut and took a deep breath. From what she heard from her 'family' Kakkarrot was supposed to be a stupid softy. Pan shrugged that off and knocked on the door. An old lady with black and gray hair opened the door, she smiled at Pan, wrinkles forming around her eyes.
"May I help you?" She asked kindly.
"Hai, is Kakkarrot here?" Pan asked, "I mean Goku."
"Iie, he is over that mountain." The lady said, pointing to the nearest mountain.
"Arigato." Pan said, she then jumped up and flew off.
She flew only for a few minuets before spotting her Grandpa. He was sparring with a younger man that looked just like him. She guessed him to be her Jisan Goten. She stopped short and watched the two spar. Her Grandpa was the better of the two, and was beating his son badly. When the two noticed her presence they both stopped quickly and looked up. Goku smiled, but her Jisan just stared. Pan flew lower and hovered in front of them.
"My name is Pan." Pan uncurled her tail.
"…" The two just stared.
Pan rolled her eyes,
"I'm Gohan's daughter." She said.
Goku gapped at her,
"Nani! He said you had died! Wow! ChiChi is going to flip! I've got to tell her!" Goku yelled.
Pan smirked, he was exactly as they had said.
"But…how?" Goten asked.
"After I was born, my kasan put me up for adoption. Soon later she died of cancer. I lived in an orphanage till I was one years of age. Then five Saiyajins adopted me and raised me. The last time I saw them was a year ago, when they left me here and said they'd be back two months later." Pan looked down. "After two months I began to look for my tousan. I found him through Trunks."
"Trunks?" Goten asked.
"Hai, he took me to meet my tousan yesterday. The day I met him." Pan answered.
Goku looked at Pan and smiled.
"Wow! You sure look like Videl!" He said scratching the back of his head.
"Um…that's because she was my kasan!" Pan said irritated.
Now as Pan left her Grandpa Goku's at 3:30 p.m. she flew off to her tousan's house. Her Jisan had left earlier to go to Capsule Corp. He said that Trunks had something to tell him. Pan could feel her nee-chan's anxious ki rising as she drew nearer. Pan smirked, and landed in front of her tousan's house. Gohan opened the door with a smile,
"Come on in. Videl is just finishing her home work." He stepped aside.
"Okay." Pan stepped inside and followed her tousan to the living room.
Jami was sitting in an armchair reading a book. She looked up and smiled at Pan,
"Konichiwa." She said.
"Konichiwa." Pan stood next to the wall.
"Where's Trunks?" Jami asked.
"He said he'd meet me here." Pan said.
"Oh," Jami went back to reading.
"Would you like something to drink?" Gohan asked.
"Iie, arigato." Pan answered.
When Trunks arrived with Ubuu and Goten, Gohan left to let them in. And Pan was surprised to see Bra with them. She explained quickly, she just wanted to learn to fight. Pan accepted this and asked no more questions. Soon her attention was on the little girl pounding down the stairs,
"I'm finished! I'm finished!" Videl screeched.
Pan chuckled,
"Okay, here…go put this on." Pan handed her a capsule. "You too."
She also handed one to Bra,
"There are like fifteen in each capsule, pick one that you like and put it on. The armor is on the left and the suits on the right." Pan explained.
The two nodded in response, then Videl showed Bra to her room. Pan noticed that the three guys already had on training suits. Trunks and Goten in saiyajin armor, and Ubuu in his own training clothes. Pan moved to the doorway that connected the kitchen to the living room, and leaned against it. She watched as Gohan and Ubuu began a conversation, while Trunks and Goten talked amongst themselves in a corner. She was startled by a yell from the top of the stairs,
"Pan! Come here!" Bra's voice rang out.
Pan rolled her eyes and made her way up the stairs. She found Bra and Videl in the hallway,
they each had their armor and suits on. And she couldn't understand what the problem was.
"Nani?" She asked.
"Hair…what should I do with my hair?" Bra asked franticly, Videl began to chuckle.
"Oh Dende!" Pan exclaimed, "Bra! Just put it in a pony tail!"
Bra threw it up in a pony tail and put the gloves back on.
"Does it look okay?" She asked.
"Bra…I don't really care what it looks like. It'll eventually get messed up in our training anyway. And I'm sure no one down stairs is going to care either." Pan crossed her arms.
"Well I can see that you aren't trying to impress my nii-chan. Well…I can change that." Bra grabbed Pan and pulled her into Videl's room.
Videl stepped inside her room giggling. She watched as Bra struggled to put Pan's unruly hair in a cute ponytail. She fixed it nicely and added little amounts of foundation here and there to Pan's face. She then put lip gloss on Pan, Pan stood after that,
"That's enough. Let's go." She went to the door and was followed down the stairs, by a smug looking Bra and a giggling Videl.
Pan rolled her eyes and turned to her tousan,
"We are going to go now. If we don't…I'll kill myself." Pan muttered the last part to herself.
Gohan chuckled, Jami looked a bit pale. Obviously she was afraid Pan was serious, and would kill herself in front of Jami's baby. Pan scowled,
"Come on. We'll go to the forest behind your house. Tousan, if you need anything, just power up." Pan said.
Gohan nodded, and watched the six leave his house.
Pan took the group to a clearing in the forest, she sent the guys a little ways away, where they couldn't hear her talk to the girls. But could still see them. She then turned to Videl,
"Okay, Mum, now what I want to teach you first is just a little bit of defense." Pan said. "Oh, and Bra…seems as you can fly, I'll start with sensing ki with you."
"You're gonna train me?" Bra asked surprised.
"Hai, you asked me to." Pan answered. "Now Mum, I'm just going to show you a series of defense moves."
Pan moved threw the ten moves quickly seeing if Videl caught any of them. Videl had caught four.
"Good, show me which ones you saw." Pan crossed her arms.
Videl stooped down and did a round-a-house sweep, then crossed her forearms over her chest as a block.
"That block there is a very important one, it comes in handy often." Pan pointed out.
Videl nodded and moved on to the right knee block, she then grabbed an imaginary persons wrist and pulled their stomach to her knee. Pan was shocked that Videl had gotten that one out of her ten moves. She had done that one in the middle, but it was very quick and didn't really show what she was doing.
"Very good. Now practice those four, Trunks! Come here a sec." Pan yelled.
Trunks ran over,
"Honto?" He asked.
"I want Mum, to practice the four defense moves she knows on you." Pan explained, "have her show you, then you attack her, using only moves that are able to be blocked by one of the four she knows."
"Okay." Trunks nodded.
"Bra, you follow me." Pan said. "Now…have you ever like all of the sudden felt a presence? Like out of no where you feel a really strong power?"
Bra nodded.
"That's ki, and everyone has it." Pan explained, "Can you feel any power that is close?"
Bra nodded again,
"Three power's that are close to the same. One really high one…then a smaller one." Bra said.
"Good, the three close ones, are Trunks, Goten, and Ubuu." Pan said, "The stronger one is me. And the weaker one is Videl."
"Wow…" Bra seemed amazed that she could do this.
"Now…search further out. Any other power?" Pan asked.
Bra took a breath and held it a moment, she then nodded,
"There is one that is in between you and the guys. Then one that is very low." She said.
"That would be my tousan and Jami. And if you can't guess which is which then I'll kill you." Pan said sarcastically. "Keep searching, I'm going to go back to Mum."
Bra nodded in response and closed her eyes to concentrate more. She moved outside her set boundaries and came to a power that was greater than Gohan's but slightly lower than Pan's. She knew that was her tousan, and there were many low ki's which she figured to be those that worked at Capsule Corp. But she came across one that was very familiar, but also low. She studied it more then came to realize that it was her kasan. She smirked, and moved out further, she came across a cluster of ki's all considerably high. Two of them were close in power, whom she knew to be Tien and Yamcha. One that was a bit lower than them was Chaotsu. Also there was one that was greater than them, she figured that that was Krillin, and the one greater than him should have to be 18. Then there was one that was greater than Krillin but lower than 18, it had to be Piccilo. She smirked at herself and moved on, there was a low one which was obviously ChiChi, then a slightly lower on who was the Ox King. But then there was one that was way higher than the rest, one that was even higher than Pan's…
"Goku." She whispered to herself.
She sighed and opened her eyes. They must be having a dinner thing, only why hadn't her kasan been there? It was most likely about Pan so she figured that they thought her kasan already knew.
Pan watched Bra and Videl spar. She had been training the two separately, and both were around the same strength. It had been four months since she met her tousan, and now she had decided to ask to move in. She wasn't too comfortable around them yet, she seemed more at home around Vegeta. He had also risen greatly in power, he had mastered Super Saiyajin three in their third month. Pan figured that if she moved in with her tousan, Jami would trust her a bit more.
Pan crossed her arms as the two girls fought on. They were both close to going Super Saiyajin, but only needed a push.
"Come on you weaklings! You're pathetic! Grandma ChiChi can do better than this! And she's not even Saiyajin!" Pan yelled at them, she glanced at the three boys sparring before continuing, "Do you want to disgrace the Saiyajins?"
Bra clenched her teeth; this little girl was just as good as she. She punched Videl in the stomach and tried to block out Pan's yells, but she couldn't. Pan was right, she was pathetic, she would sooner disgrace the saiyajin race before becoming a Super Saiyajin. She clenched her teeth and kicked the little girl in the side. She received a kick to the stomach in return, and fell to the ground. She looked up at Videl and growled,
"You little baka! You're going to pay for that!" She yelled. "Your tousan and kasan are going to get it from me!"
Videl stared at her in surprise, surely Bra wouldn't dare hurt her kasan?
"Iie! You wouldn't dare! My tousan is too strong for you!" Videl yelled.
"Ha! My tousan would take yours as I took care of your weak kasan!" Bra yelled back, she honestly didn't mean any of it.
She was just helping Pan by pushing Videl to Super Saiyajin. And her family was her weak spot.
"Iie! Don't you touch my kasan!" Videl let out a raging yell.
Bra watched as Videl's hair began to blow upward. Her eye's turned a jade green and her hair went gold and spiky. A gold aurora formed around her as her small muscles grew bigger. She powered up more and when her yells subsided she glared at Bra.
"You will never hurt my family!" She growled, then charged.
Bra was to caught up in surprise to do anything to stop this raging child. She took the blows soundlessly and blocked the ones she could. The beat-down was more than she could bare. This child was stronger than her! What would her tousan say?
'You have disgraced the royal family!' Her tousan's voice filled her thoughts.
Trunks ran over to Pan, he was followed by the other two.
"Pan! Vi-chan made it!" He said, but soon saw the look on his nee-chan's face, "Why don't you stop them!?"
"Not yet! Bra is almost there!" Pan said.
"But Videl could kill her!" Goten snapped his head at Pan.
"Iie, Videl is running low on power." Pan shook her head.
The guys turned their heads to watch the fight.
Bra yelled…that was it she would not let her tousan down! She let out a raging yell much like Videl's. Her power blew Videl back a couple feet, as her hair turned gold, her eyes went the same jade green as Videl's. Her hair tie barely held her hair, and the strand's that came loose flew up in thick spikes. She could feel the immense power that was surging threw her, and felt it spread through all of her limbs. Before she could attack her opponent, Videl fell to the ground out of Super Saiyajin, and Bra could only stare unable to do anything else. The power soon became too much for her, and she too fell to the ground out of Super Saiyajin. She heard Videl holding back sobs,
"Please don't hurt my kasan." She whimpered, "I didn't mean to hurt you."
"Oh! Videl! I wasn't serious, I would never hurt anyone in your family!" Bra said. "Never, and don't you forget that okay?"
She saw the little girls head nod before passing out.
Pan ran to her nee-chan's side and picked the little girl up.
"Is Bra okay?" She asked.
"Hai." Trunks answered.
Pan took one of the senzu beans and popped it in Videl's mouth. She then threw one to Trunks. The two girls quickly recovered, but their limbs were still shaky and numb. Pan grew nervous every time she glanced at Videl. She was afraid of what Jami would do if she found her otome in this shape.
"Nee-chan? What's wrong?" Videl asked.
"Your kasan is going to kill me!" Pan said with a fake smile.
"Iie, I wont let her. It wasn't your fault I got hurt!" Videl said.
"Hai, but your kasan will think differently." Pan said.
"Don't worry." Videl smiled at her.
Pan returned the smile, and stood.
"Well might as well get it over with." She said.
Bra and Videl stood uncertainly and leaned on the nearest person. Goten for Bra and Ubuu for Videl. Pan smirked and picked Videl up,
"Perhaps carrying you would be better. Ne?" She said. "Goten, you bring Bra."
With that Pan flew up in the air. She was followed closely by Trunks; then Goten carrying Bra came behind him. Ubuu bringing up the rear. Pan landed in front of her tousan's house setting Videl on her feet. She took a breath as the door swung open. There stood Jami, she glanced at Videl and shrieked.
"What did you do to my baby!" She yelled just as Goten landed with Bra.
"She did nothing! It was me!" Videl said.
"She was supposed to watch you! How did she get like this?" Jami demanded.
"She and Bra were sparring." Pan explained.
Jami paled, and Bra stood forward.
"It was me who sparred with her. Don't blame it on Pan." She said.
"Pan was the one who should have been watching!" Jami barked.
Goten, Ubuu, and Trunks looked nervous. Pan looked ashamed, she looked at the ground and felt her anger begin to boil.
"Look…Jami, she isn't hurt." Trunks finally said.
"Isn't hurt! Look at her! She has bruises and scratches all over!" Jami yelled.
"Kasan! I'm fine! I'm a quarter saiyajin, I can take it!" Videl argued.
Jami paid no attention to her otome she grabbed Videl's wrist and glared at Pan,
"You will no longer train her." With that she slammed the door.
Pan scowled back at the door, she felt someone grab her hand and turned her head to Trunks,
"Why didn't you make me stop?" She asked softly, she felt tears well up and forced them back, "I didn't want Mum to get hurt!"
"I know you didn't. Jami is just very protective of Vi-chan. Don't worry about it." Trunks said with a reassuring smile.
Pan felt his hand on her hand, it was warm and soft. She wrenched her hand away and took to the air quickly. She flew off to her tousan's job, ignoring the yells from Trunks.
