I spent the next 30 minutes with Bra and Uncle Goten making our way to Bras room and finding me some more comfortable clothing for me to wear. We settled on some old stretch shorts and a baggy t-shirt that Bra had. Goten laughed at me and told me I looked like my mother had when she fought in the Worlds Tournament before she married Dad. When I met back up with Dad, he took us to a seperate room to discuss fighting tactics.
Upon entering the room, I saw many people that I had not seen in years. From left to right, I saw Mom, Bulma, Grandma, Yamcha, Tien, Krillin, 18, Marron, and in the far corner stood Vegeta. Dad, Uncle Gotan, Bra and I stepped into the room and had a seat among the others before Dad began to speak. "Does everyone now know who we are dealing with here?"
"I-I thought he was dead. Trunks, Krillin and I..." Uncle Goten looked like he'd seen a ghost and as I scanned the others faces, it appeared that they all felt the same way.
"But hes back... again." Surprising Mom spoke up. "We have to get rid of him now. He's caused to many problems over the years already."
I started to get mad. It seemed everyone in the entire room except myself and Bra (assuming the confused look on her face said as much.)
"We have to assume that he attacked Trunks first as a measure of revenge but we all know he is looking for Dad. With Dad not here, we have to do this without him." It was amazing to watch the strongest fighters in the world listen to Dad with such undivided attention.
Finally I burst. "WHO?! Who is this enemy that you all seem to be so worried about? If you beat him before, we can do it now!"
"Panny, its not that easy. Brolly is the legendary super sayajin. His power sur-."
My blood froze. I had heard that name before. In fact I had heard it many time growing up. Every once in a while I'd walk thru a room and some of the other adults would be discussing him and the stories I had heard made my blood run cold. Brolly had even caused Vegeta to be paralzed in fear. I found that hard to believe but if everyone said it and they'd survived his wrath, it had to be true. "B-Brolly... you mean THE Brolly?!"
"It seems that way. When he does show again, we'll hav-"
Dads voice was stopped dead in his tracks as we all felt that same ki shoot dangerously high once more and the entire building was shaken almost off of its foundation from another attack. Without so much as another word, Dad, Vegeta, Uncle Goten, Tien, Yamcha, 18 and I all flew out the nearest window.
When I first laid eyes on him, I realized how huge he really was. His stature alone was enough to be intimidating but the strength of his ki and battle aura as amazing. Any other time I would have ran in fear but he had dared to hurt someone I loved and I'll be damned if I let it happen again! I saw him powering up an attack and I watched as another random building exploded taking with it, I'm sure, many peoples lives. I'd fought before but it had been a long time since we had to save the world. I'd never really felt the full weight of the responsiblity of it until that very moment and the feeling was almost suffocating.
Without any warning, I felt Vegetas ki rise and he flew at Brolly with full force. He kicked right at his head but Brolly batted him away like a fly. Then before he even came to a stop, Vegeta released a long stream of ki attacks, causing Brolly to do nothing but laugh. When the smoke cleared, nothing had even harmed Brolly and he just stared at Vegeta as if he were a harmless gnat. Then with barley more than the flick of his wrist, Vegetas body was thrown into one of the buildings, crushing it and burying him under the rubble.
"Vegeta!" My scream was not even audiable over the war cries of the other Zi fighters as they moved into attack... and I was right behind them. I watched as one by one my friends and family were batted to the ground until before I knew it, Brolly was staring right at me and I was the only person in the air.
I heard a sick laugh cut through the air and it took it second to realize it was Brolly. He flew up on me quickly and grabbed me by the throat. I had been expecting a kick or punch or god forbid even a ki blast but he held me by the throat and just laughed. Holding me above me family and friends like a trophy. I kicked and punched, connecting several times but his grib did not loosen once. I felt myself losing conciousness quickly and I knew I only had a few more seconds before I passed out.
I thought I felt a familar ki near me and I saw a blur behind me but my vison had become too blurry to make anything out just then. Then I heard the voice and my heart skipped a beat.
"FINAL FLASH!" The ki blast hit Brolly square in the back causing Brolly a momentary lapse of attention and he dropped me. I felt myself falling to earth but I was too weak to even stop myself. Thats when I was caught by powerful arms that took me to saftey near my father.
When he put me down, the tears already sprang up in my eyes but I turned around slowly to make sure it was real. "Trunks!" I threw my arms around him and kissed his cheek lightly, without even thinking. It had been okay to do that when I was little but now that we were oler, it was a little different. Now suddenly my whole outlook on this fight had changed. Trunks was alive and here! He has always been my support and with him there I had always overcome my obsticles. Now with Trunks here, I felt as though I could do it again.
He hugged me back and stroked my hair a bit then pulled me away and I could have sworn that I saw a slight blush in his cheeks. "I'm glad you're safe but I told you to stay home." All I could do was grin sheepishly till I heard the sound of someone clearing their throat and we looked up to see Dad and Vegeta standing right in front of us. Dad did not look to happy as he eyed Trunks a moment before he wrapped me into a hug and thanked Trunks for saving me.
Without any warning, Trunks' eyes went black and he collasped to his knees, cluching his stomach. It was obvious he was not okay. But why had he come. It could not have been just to save me, could it? Regaurdless, I leaned down and put his arm over my shoulder and helped him to his feet. "We've got to get you back to safety."
"Yes, we'll need you later." Dad still had that strange look in his eyes as he looked from Trunks to me and back again. "Pan, help him back and then find us after he is settled. Be safe." He gave me a quick hug and flew off. Vegeta just smirked evily from me to Trunks and flew off too.
"Are you gonna be okay to go back?" Turning to Trunks, all of my attention back on him.
"I'll be fine."
It took a while but after making several trips to let Trunks rest, we made it to Capsule Corp and Bulma and Mom helped me put Trunks to bed. As we were walking out of the room, I heard Trunks speak. "Pan, wait."
After the others left I closed the door and walked over to Trunks.
"Wait a minute... we need to talk."
