The day the students would be leaving for their field trip had finally arrived. High school students gathered in the schoolyard as earl as 6:20 AM. Their bus to the train station would be leaving at 6:45 AM.
"You know, we could get there a lot faster if we flew." Marron said to Chibi usa, Momoko, Videl, and Bra.
"Yeah I guess we could, but I'd rather travel with my classmates on the train." Chibi usa replied and the others nodded in agreement.
Gohan then approached the five girls with a sly grin on his face. "Hey, you guys ready for the trip?"
"I am, it will be so nice to get away from Dad for a few days." Videl replied.
"What do you mean by that?" asked Momoko curiously.
"He's been making me train so hard ever since the Martial arts tournament saying that he wants me to place next year." Videl explained.
Marron then poked Bra who was falling asleep on her feet with her head hanging to the side. Bra screamed as she felt Marron's finger jam into her side and connecting with her rib cage. "Hey what was that for!" Bra demanded.
"You were falling asleep." Marron explained laughing. "You don't want to miss your chance to get on the bus."
"It's not my fault they make these trips so early in the morning!" Bra defended her self.
The others laughed. At 6:45, the students began boarding the busses and had a 15 minute ride to the train station. Trunks was going to be one of the chaperones and Goten and Pan were going to sneak on the train as stowaways.
Once the busses reached the train station, the students immediately boarded with out any given any chance to look in the shops or buy food. Mainly because many of them weren't even open.
Marron and Bra sat behind Chibi usa and Momoko while Videl sat across from them next to her friend Erasa. Marron and Bra were able to keep watch on Chibi usa for the ride to Tokyo. Well at least Marron could. Bra was fast asleep next to her before they even left the station. Her head rested on the window ledge and she breathed quietly.
Chibi usa sighed in boredom and watched the scenery go by out the window. They had been on the train for almost two long hours and Momoko was asleep next to her so she couldn't have any conversation to entertain herself. One of the chaperones came by and asked if she wanted a drink but she refused the offer.
Pan and Goten were underneath the train in the baggage compartment. It was hot, dark and stuffy under there. Goten used some of his ki to make a light in there. Both of them wished for a drink of water and felt that they were both going to dehydrate.
"Hey Pan do you feel that?" asked Goten.
"What?" asked Pan with a sleepy look on her face.
"That strong power up ahead." Goten explained.
Pan snapped to attention and could now feel it too.
"I wonder why Trunks, Bra, or Marron don't feel it," Goten added.
"What do we do?" Pan asked worriedly.
"It might be CAIN. We may have to stop the train" Goten suggested.
Pan and Goten both powered up and shot a ki blast to the floor of the baggage compartment and the entire train shook loudly and came to an immediate stop. Both of them slipped out of the hole they made so they wouldn't be noticed.
Up in the train cabins, students screamed at what had happened. Chibi usa, Bra, Marron, Trunks, Gohan, and Videl all came to attention at once wondering if it was some kind of enemy.
Trunks grabbed the microphone on the front of the train cabin and made an urgent announcement. "Calm down everyone, we're having some technical difficulties and we'll be running shortly."
The train was already in a city division so the students were let off, but had to remain close to the broken down train.
"What was that all about?" Marron asked Goten and Pan once they found out it was them who made the blast.
"Didn't you sense that huge power before?" Goten questioned.
"What power?" asked Bra.
"We felt it shortly before we blasted a hole in the baggage department." Pan explained.
"Uh guys, that was me I was raising my power level." Trunks explained.
"What!" Both Pan and Goten shrieked at the same time.
"Why would you do that!" Goten asked with shock still on his face.
"Just for the heck of it?" Trunks tried.
Pan and Goten both face faulted.
"So you mean we delayed this for no reason?" Pan asked.
"Yea, I guess so." Trunks replied.
Gohan approached Chibi usa and her friend Momoko with a camera in his hand.
"Hey Chibi usa and Momoko," he greeted with the camera pointed in their faces.
Chibi usa and Momoko turned around and saw Gohan holding the mini camera. "Gohan! What is that!" Chibi usa asked alarmed.
"It's a video camera," Gohan explained. "My mom made me bring it for what she calls educational purposes."
"So you're filming us!" Momoko squeaked.
"No it's not on." Gohan replied. "I can't use it till we're actually doing something a little bit educational."
Service workers confirmed that the train was unrepairable and that a new one would have to come and get the students. All the baggage had to be moved off and then the train had to be removed. This took almost 24 hours to perform. None of the students got any sleep that night. In the morning, another train picked them all up and most of the students fell asleep once they boarded. Pan and Goten reluctantly got back into baggage compartment. This one was a little nicer than to other one because it was bigger and they had more room.
The train reached Tokyo at noon. All the students were awaken and led to their hotel rooms.
"This place isn't too bad." Chibi usa commented.
"Yeah it's actually nice compared to what I thought it would be." Marron agreed and bounced on one of the beds.
"So who gets which bed?" asked Bra.
"Let's see, Chibi usa and I will take that one, and you two can take that one." Momoko suggested.
"Ok fine with me," Chibi usa agreed and sat on her bed.
"You know we only have about five minutes till we have to go to that park for the presentation." Bra said with a frown. The last thing she wanted to do was listen to some guy talk about the history of Tokyo.
"Yeah we better get downstairs to the lobby." Momoko spoke.
The four girls rode the elevator down and mixed in with their classmates. Chibi usa walked up to Gohan who was holding his camera.
"Gohan are you going to use that today?" Chibi usa teased with a smile on her face.
"Yeah I figured this would be educational enough for my mom." Gohan laughed. "She can see how boring this was, what am I saying? She would probably like to watch this."
Chibi usa giggled.
A roll call was made by one of the teachers and when everyone was said to be there, they walked to the park, which was only a mile away from their hotel. Since the presentation didn't start for another fifteen minutes, the students were allowed to form their own little groups and entertain themselves till the speaker arrived. Girls formed groups to talk to each other while most of the boys goofed off.
Chibi usa smiled when she saw that Gohan was already filming the park. She left her group of friends and began to walk down a small trail surrounded by trees admiring the park's beauty.
Not too soon after she had begun her walk she felt that someone was following her. She turned her head to the side and saw that Gohan was filming her!
"Gohan! What are you doing! Turn that away I look terrible!" she laughed and put her hand in front of her face.
"No you don't you look great." Gohan commented laughing also.
Chibi usa blushed at the complement.
"Well aren't you two the couple of the day?" A female voice was heard.
Gohan turned his camera and focused it on Videl who had just made that comment.
Pan who was watching from behind a large green pine bush and peeking out immediately ducked behind it once she saw that the camera was being turned her way. "Goten I think I'm on the camera!"
"Videl were not a couple." Chibi usa blushed even more and tried to cover her embarrassment.
"Oh come on, you two are way too obvious." Videl said.
"Yeah you can't fool us," Bra's voice was heard from behind them. Gohan turned his camera off and faced her. She was surrounded by Momoko, Erasa, Sharpner, and two more of her friends.
"What do you mean?" asked Gohan blushing.
"There's nothing wrong with you two being attracted to each other." Bra explained.
Chibi usa and Gohan blushed even more which made it almost uncomfortable to be around each other.
Marron and Trunks had joined Goten and Pan behind the bush and had watched what happened.
"That idiot!" Marron hissed gritting her teeth. "What is she trying to do!"
"She is going to ruin them!" Trunks added angrily.
The speaker arrived and the kids began to assemble in a circle around the speaker. Bra began to follow but she heard something very suspicious from behind her.
"The location is secured." A low male voice whispered.
Bra slowly levitated till she could see over a tall triplet bush. She witnessed a rather short boy from her class talking suspiciously into a small black cell phone. He began to walk from his spot as if he were some sort of secret agent. Bra followed closely from behind with out being noticed. The strange conversation kept going. Finally she attacked and knocked the cell phone out of his hand and it smashed to the ground. The kid immediately turned his and looked at Bra.
"Hey you broke my cell phone!" The kid whined in a childish voice.
"Alright I know you're working with CAIN!" Bra roared ignoring his petty complaint.
"What do you mean, I'm not working for anybody!" The kid cried.
"Oh really? Then who were you talking to on the phone?" Bra questioned with a hint of anger in her voice.
"My mom." The kid answered in a very frightened tone.
Bra almost broke out into laughter. "Who talks to their mom like that!"
"She makes me because she's in the FBI!" The kid explained almost on the edge of tears. He began to cower down in front of Bra.
"Really?" Bra said with a dumb founded look on her face. "Well then I guess I can let you go."
Bra ran from the kid back to her classmates. By the time she returned the speaker was finished with his historical presentation.
"Where did you go?" Marron asked her a little annoyed that she had left her.
"I thought I found someone who had to do with CAIN." Bra replied a little out of breath.
"Who?" Marron questioned now curious.
"Don't worry he was innocent." Bra didn't answer her question.
Through out the rest of the day, the students toured Tokyo and visited some historical spots. Sometimes they would stop in shops and some of the girls would buy stuff. By early that evening, all the students were returned to their hotel rooms to do what they wished.
"I'm going to go to the grocery to get some orange juice." Chibi usa announced. "Anyone want anything?"
"What do you need orange juice for?" asked Momoko looking up from a magazine she was reading with confusion in her voice.
"Didn't you read the paper that was sent home?" Chibi usa questioned. "The school said we had to bring our own drinks for breakfast. It takes off on the hotel bill."
"What no way!" Marron commented in shock. "Of all the stupid things to do!"
"Yeah I know, but we might as well get some." Chibi usa agreed.
"I'll go with you." Bra spoke and got up from where she was sitting in front of the TV.
"Ok," Chibi usa said. She and Bra left the hotel room and headed towards the elevators.
Bra was following Chibi usa down the hall of the hotel. With out any warning she disappeared from the time. Bra reappeared screaming in horror at the gates of time and was faced with Sailor Pluto. She calmed down instantly when she realized where she was.
"What happened?" she asked with a very confused expression on her face.
"Bra I have found out some very important information." Sailor Pluto spoke.
"I was kind of watching Chibi usa before." Bra explained.
"You don't have to worry about her now." Sailor Pluto replied. "I have found the exact time and place CAIN will appear.
Bra soon forgot about Chibi usa and began to listen to Sailor Pluto. "Where."
"CAIN will come for Chibi usa tomorrow at 1:15 PM." Sailor Pluto informed. "And-"
"We'll be at Tokyo Tower at that time!" Bra interrupted getting hysterical.
"Right." Sailor Pluto said calmly. "I have found a plan that may get rid of him from our world." Bra listened closer and more intently. "I have six disk like objects that will let us open a section of sub space. We will put the five smaller ones on five holy statues, which will give us the power without the silver crystal to unlock the portal. Another one will be placed in the center of Tokyo Tower and that will open up the void. The five that hold the statues will then react to CAIN's negative power and suck him in. The void will then close and CAIN will be locked in sub space forever."
Bra gulped as she took it all in. "So where is this tool you have."
Sailor Pluto walked away from Bra's view and returned with a large beige brief case. "Everything you need is in here."
Chibi usa reached the elevator and sighed when she realized that Bra was gone. 'I guess she decided not to come.'
Once she reached the bottom floor, she walked out through the revolving building doors and took off into the air ignoring the headache that was setting in her head.
Marron walked to the hotel room that Trunks, Goten and Pan had rented. They sat in a circle and talked about the day's events.
"Tomorrow we're going to Tokyo Tower." Trunks informed.
"Yeah and here another presentation." Marron groaned. "How many people would care about the history of some huge tower?"
Pan then started fading again and screamed as she usually did when it happened.
"Where is Chibi usa!" Trunks demanded in a loud voice worried about Pan.
"She and Bra went to the grocery store!" Marron replied frantically trying to grab a hold of Pan.
"Goten you stay here with Pan, Marron, you and I are going over there!" Trunks ordered.
Marron let Pan go and she and Trunks stormed out the door. They flew at top speed to the grocery and rocketed through the doors. They both ran quickly down every isle till they found Chibi usa slumped over with one hand on her head and another holding a shelf with boxes of crackers on it for support. A carton of orange juice was spilled all over the floor. The store clerk was behind her holding her still.
"What happened!" Trunks asked furiously.
"She's having a migraine." The store clerk explained.
"Is that it?" Marron questioned relieved.
"Yes," the clerk answered.
"Thanks, we'll take her home." Trunks said and grabbed Chibi usa's arm and lifted her up. "How much was the orange juice?"
"Oh don't worry about it, it was an accident, in fact go pick up another carton." The clerk smiled.
Marron ran to the juice isle, picked out another carton, paid for it and got outside just as Trunks was taking off with Chibi usa. They rushed her back to the hotel and to the nurses room. The nurse laid her on a white futon and put a warm wet blue rag on her forehead.
Just as Marron and Trunks left, they both ran into Gohan and Videl outside of the room.
"What happened to Chibi usa?" Gohan asked in a worried tone. "We saw both of you rush her into the nurses room."
"She had a migraine at the grocery store." Marron explained. "Don't worry she'll be all right."
"You two can go into the room and see her." Trunks offered.
"Ok," Videl accepted. "Come on Gohan."
Gohan and Videl went through the door.
Trunks and Marron entered their apartment and found that Bra was back.
"Should one of go back and watch Chibi usa?" Marron suddenly realized.
"No don't worry about it now." Bra replied, "I have some very important information."
"What was wrong with my mother?" asked Pan close to tears.
"Don't worry kid, she just had a migraine at the store." Trunks replied calmly.
"Come to think of it, every time Chibi usa experiences any pain, Pan starts fading." Goten observed.
"Oh my gosh Goten you're right!" Marron exclaimed in an excited tone.
"We can talk about this later." Bra interrupted firmly. "Pluto has pinpointed the exact time and place CAIN will appear."
Everyone paused and listened closely to Bra. "CAIN will appear tomorrow at Tokyo Tower at 1:15 PM.," Bra then explained Pluto's plan about the six disk like objects and how they would open sub space and they could trap CAIN inside of it.
"Wait, there are six of those disks and only five of us." Trunks counted.
"One of us will have to carry two." Bra replied all sure of herself.
"I'll take two of them," Goten volunteered.
"Ok that's settled," Bra stated.
"Who will take the one to the center of Tokyo Tower?" Marron pointed out.
Before Bra could say anything Pan spoke. "I'll do it."
Everyone looked at her. "Pan?" Marron said without thinking.
"I want to be with my mother when she's supposed to disappear." Pan explained. "Please let me do it." The young girl was closer to tears.
Trunks couldn't say anything but that she could do it. Everyone else sat silently.
Pan and Marron peered out the door down the hall and looked inside of the nurses room which the door was open. They were able to see Gohan talking to Chibi usa who was laying in a bed.
The morning came almost too soon for Marron and Bra. They ate their nutritious breakfast and drank the bitter orange juice that Chibi usa bought.
Through out the morning the students toured more of Tokyo and it's many districts. By noon they were heading towards Tokyo tower. The sky was dark and gloomy and an eerie cool wind blew through the city. Trunks, Marron, and Bra moved over to the side where they met up with Pan and Goten. Bra got out the disks from the brief case and began handing them to the others and telling them where their statue was. Then she pointed to the briefcase, which the big one was in.
"Pan, remember to put this on the top floor of the tower in the center." Bra reminded. "Just keep it in the brief case until you get there, it will be difficult carrying it without it because of its size. You'll need to ride the elevator up because there is no opening to get inside of it from the outside."
Pan nodded that she understood.
"Ok let's go." Trunks ordered and everyone headed their separate directions.
Pan followed the high school students keeping a safe distance from Gohan and Chibi usa and from the rest of the students so no one would get suspicious.
Trunks flew to the first of the statues which was in an old temple. The statue was in the shape of a large monkey. Trunks pressed the disk to it and bands of neon orange light wrapped around it.
Goten made it to his first one. His statue was in an old Church and was molded into a wolf. He pressed his first disk to it and it had the same reaction as Trunks's.
The one Marron pressed hers against was in a modern temple and took the shape of a rabbit.
Bra's was in a Shinto shrine and the one she had to activate was a large raven bird.
The last one Goten had to activate was in a pyramid like structure and that statue was a lion.
After that all the statues were activated.
Pan got in the extremely long line to the elevators that lead to the top floor of the tower. She soon realized that her parents would be getting on soon and that she needed to be up there. She shoved through the crowd ignoring the people who were waiting yelling at her till she reached the elevator pushing the person who was next to get on out of the way. Pan was the last person on and barely fit. The elevator slowly ascended upwards.
"Uh, do you feel that power?" Chibi usa asked groaning.
Pan could feel it. The power level of the being that was up there was huge and almost over whelming. Fear crept into her and her whole body began to quiver.
A lightening bolt from the dark sky struck the top of the tower. The elevator stopped and shook violently. Students grabbed on to the ends and each other screaming. Gohan held Chibi usa in place and a girl next to him. Very slowly Gohan made his way to the front and shot a ki blast at the elevator doors opening them enough for everyone to get out. The students seemed to pour out of the elevator and most of them fell over. Pan was swept out with the crowd. All of the students with the exception of Gohan and Chibi usa stormed down the stairways. They were all only on the second highest floor.
"I feel that power level you were talking about," Gohan announced to Chibi usa.
Chibi usa was grabbing her forehead and cringing at the power. She felt as if she almost couldn't take it.
"Chibi usa are you alright?" Gohan asked and tried to support her with his arms.
"He's coming for me." She barely managed to mumble.
"What did you say?" Gohan tried to clarify.
Pan ran to the other side of the tower and could see a dark black as night cloud like demon with a hideous white face looming above the tower. It's body was in to shape of an oval. The glass on all the windows busted open and Pan had to shield her eyes to keep it out. She looked back and saw that her dad saw the demon also. If he went after it, her mom was very likely to follow. She had to keep them away from CAIN so Pan ran back to Gohan and passed her brief case to his hands.
"Go to the top floor and put this somewhere in the middle." Pan instructed. "Inside is a device to capture the demon. Take it out and place it there." Pan ran back to where the demon was hovering before Gohan could say anything.
Gohan hardly had enough time to process what the girl said much less who she was. He ran back to Chibi usa who was leaning against the wall. "Chibi usa, we have to go to the top floor and place a device in this case in the middle."
Chibi usa couldn't answer. Gohan grabbed her arm and dragged her up the steps.
Pan confronted the demon CAIN. "Where is the Lunarian power," he groaned.
Pan cupped her hands together. "Twin energy balls!" she cried. That attack had little effect on CAIN except that it made him very angry. He completely absorbed it and shot a blast at Pan who jumped out of the way.
Down on the Tokyo streets, many of the resident had already evacuated to nearby buildings. Goten stood at the bottom of the tower observing what was going on. The force up towards the top was so strong that he couldn't fly up to the top floors and aid Pan.
"Hey you pervert!" Goten turned and saw Videl!
Not wanting to start any fight with her he took off for the air away from the tower.
"Don't think you're going to get away!" Videl screamed and took off into the air. "I can fly too now!"
She began to chase Goten in the air. A large blast blew in the tower causing a force of wind to blow them both off coarse. A huge piece of debris came rocketing at Videl! Goten flew back, grabbed her and cradled her in his arms and blocked the piece coming at her. Videl had almost no idea what was going on.
After a few seconds of trying to hit Pan, CAIN decided that he was just wasting time and flew past her. He slithered up a pipe to the top floors. Pan charged up the steps to the top floor.
Gohan had just put the disk in place when the whole top floor started shaking. CAIN slithered out of the vents and eyed Chibi usa who was leaning against a pair of binoculars.
Gohan frowned at the demon and began to power up for a ki blast.
The disk in the center of the tower began to react to CAIN's negative power. All five of the disks, that were on the five statues, lit up brighter than ever. A funnel of wind came out of the large disks in the tower and circled around CAIN and began to pull him into subspace. The top floor of the tower felt as if it would be ripped apart from all the chaos that was going on! Every window was now busted and poles were falling over. Strong wind blew any object that wasn't bolted down out the glassless windows!
"No!" CAIN roared furiously. "Must have Lunarian power!" An appendage from his body shot from him and wrapped itself around Chibi usa's leg and pulled her towards him! Chibi usa didn't even see it coming and had no way to block it.
"Gohan!" she cried in horror.
Gohan who didn't have time to shoot a ki blast flew over and grabbed Chibi usa's arm and tried to pull her back. His other arm held onto a secure beam that supported the tower. Gohan's hair turned a golden color so he was now a super Saiya-jin but his hand grew sweaty and began to slip from the beam. CAIN was much stronger than he expected.
Pan finally made it to the top and once she saw that her parents were in danger she ran up and grabbed her dad's hand, which had already slipped from the beam. She now held on to the beam for support.
"Hang on dad!" Pan screamed above all the noise.
Gohan looked at her. "Dad?" he asked almost completely forgetting about what was happening.
After one more force full pull from CAIN, Gohan's hand slipped from Pan's and he and Chibi usa were sucked into sub space with CAIN. The door to sub space closed and the force full wind died down completely.
"No!" Pan cried once her parents were gone and made a run for the large disk but was pulled back by Goten. Videl stood behind him.
"Pan stop!" He ordered.
"No I've got to save them!" Pan screamed and tried to pull away from Goten.
"Pan they're gone." Goten stated in a low depressing voice.
Authors notes: Will Pan be able to save her parents? Will CAIN be stopped? What will happen? Fine out the conclusion in the next chapter!
"You know, we could get there a lot faster if we flew." Marron said to Chibi usa, Momoko, Videl, and Bra.
"Yeah I guess we could, but I'd rather travel with my classmates on the train." Chibi usa replied and the others nodded in agreement.
Gohan then approached the five girls with a sly grin on his face. "Hey, you guys ready for the trip?"
"I am, it will be so nice to get away from Dad for a few days." Videl replied.
"What do you mean by that?" asked Momoko curiously.
"He's been making me train so hard ever since the Martial arts tournament saying that he wants me to place next year." Videl explained.
Marron then poked Bra who was falling asleep on her feet with her head hanging to the side. Bra screamed as she felt Marron's finger jam into her side and connecting with her rib cage. "Hey what was that for!" Bra demanded.
"You were falling asleep." Marron explained laughing. "You don't want to miss your chance to get on the bus."
"It's not my fault they make these trips so early in the morning!" Bra defended her self.
The others laughed. At 6:45, the students began boarding the busses and had a 15 minute ride to the train station. Trunks was going to be one of the chaperones and Goten and Pan were going to sneak on the train as stowaways.
Once the busses reached the train station, the students immediately boarded with out any given any chance to look in the shops or buy food. Mainly because many of them weren't even open.
Marron and Bra sat behind Chibi usa and Momoko while Videl sat across from them next to her friend Erasa. Marron and Bra were able to keep watch on Chibi usa for the ride to Tokyo. Well at least Marron could. Bra was fast asleep next to her before they even left the station. Her head rested on the window ledge and she breathed quietly.
Chibi usa sighed in boredom and watched the scenery go by out the window. They had been on the train for almost two long hours and Momoko was asleep next to her so she couldn't have any conversation to entertain herself. One of the chaperones came by and asked if she wanted a drink but she refused the offer.
Pan and Goten were underneath the train in the baggage compartment. It was hot, dark and stuffy under there. Goten used some of his ki to make a light in there. Both of them wished for a drink of water and felt that they were both going to dehydrate.
"Hey Pan do you feel that?" asked Goten.
"What?" asked Pan with a sleepy look on her face.
"That strong power up ahead." Goten explained.
Pan snapped to attention and could now feel it too.
"I wonder why Trunks, Bra, or Marron don't feel it," Goten added.
"What do we do?" Pan asked worriedly.
"It might be CAIN. We may have to stop the train" Goten suggested.
Pan and Goten both powered up and shot a ki blast to the floor of the baggage compartment and the entire train shook loudly and came to an immediate stop. Both of them slipped out of the hole they made so they wouldn't be noticed.
Up in the train cabins, students screamed at what had happened. Chibi usa, Bra, Marron, Trunks, Gohan, and Videl all came to attention at once wondering if it was some kind of enemy.

"We felt it shortly before we blasted a hole in the baggage department." Pan explained.
"Uh guys, that was me I was raising my power level." Trunks explained.
"What!" Both Pan and Goten shrieked at the same time.
"Why would you do that!" Goten asked with shock still on his face.
"Just for the heck of it?" Trunks tried.
Pan and Goten both face faulted.
"So you mean we delayed this for no reason?" Pan asked.
"Yea, I guess so." Trunks replied.
Gohan approached Chibi usa and her friend Momoko with a camera in his hand.
"Hey Chibi usa and Momoko," he greeted with the camera pointed in their faces.
Chibi usa and Momoko turned around and saw Gohan holding the mini camera. "Gohan! What is that!" Chibi usa asked alarmed.
"It's a video camera," Gohan explained. "My mom made me bring it for what she calls educational purposes."
"So you're filming us!" Momoko squeaked.
"No it's not on." Gohan replied. "I can't use it till we're actually doing something a little bit educational."

Pan and Goten reluctantly got back into baggage compartment. This one was a little nicer than to other one because it was bigger and they had more room.
The train reached Tokyo at noon. All the students were awaken and led to their hotel rooms.
"This place isn't too bad." Chibi usa commented.
"Yeah it's actually nice compared to what I thought it would be." Marron agreed and bounced on one of the beds.
"So who gets which bed?" asked Bra.
"Let's see, Chibi usa and I will take that one, and you two can take that one." Momoko suggested.
"Ok fine with me," Chibi usa agreed and sat on her bed.
"You know we only have about five minutes till we have to go to that park for the presentation." Bra said with a frown. The last thing she wanted to do was listen to some guy talk about the history of Tokyo.
"Yeah we better get downstairs to the lobby." Momoko spoke.

"Gohan! What are you doing! Turn that away I look terrible!" she laughed and put her hand in front of her face.
"No you don't you look great." Gohan commented laughing also.
Chibi usa blushed at the complement.
"Well aren't you two the couple of the day?" A female voice was heard.
Gohan turned his camera and focused it on Videl who had just made that comment.
Pan who was watching from behind a large green pine bush and peeking out immediately ducked behind it once she saw that the camera was being turned her way. "Goten I think I'm on the camera!"
"Videl were not a couple." Chibi usa blushed even more and tried to cover her embarrassment.
"Oh come on, you two are way too obvious." Videl said.
"Yeah you can't fool us," Bra's voice was heard from behind them. Gohan turned his camera off and faced her. She was surrounded by Momoko, Erasa, Sharpner, and two more of her friends.
"What do you mean?" asked Gohan blushing.
"There's nothing wrong with you two being attracted to each other." Bra explained.
Chibi usa and Gohan blushed even more which made it almost uncomfortable to be around each other.
Marron and Trunks had joined Goten and Pan behind the bush and had watched what happened.
"That idiot!" Marron hissed gritting her teeth. "What is she trying to do!"
"She is going to ruin them!" Trunks added angrily.
The speaker arrived and the kids began to assemble in a circle around the speaker. Bra began to follow but she heard something very suspicious from behind her.
"The location is secured." A low male voice whispered.
Bra slowly levitated till she could see over a tall triplet bush. She witnessed a rather short boy from her class talking suspiciously into a small black cell phone. He began to walk from his spot as if he were some sort of secret agent. Bra followed closely from behind with out being noticed. The strange conversation kept going. Finally she attacked and knocked the cell phone out of his hand and it smashed to the ground. The kid immediately turned his and looked at Bra.
"Hey you broke my cell phone!" The kid whined in a childish voice.
"Alright I know you're working with CAIN!" Bra roared ignoring his petty complaint.
"What do you mean, I'm not working for anybody!" The kid cried.
"Oh really? Then who were you talking to on the phone?" Bra questioned with a hint of anger in her voice.
"My mom." The kid answered in a very frightened tone.
Bra almost broke out into laughter. "Who talks to their mom like that!"
"She makes me because she's in the FBI!" The kid explained almost on the edge of tears. He began to cower down in front of Bra.
"Really?" Bra said with a dumb founded look on her face. "Well then I guess I can let you go."
Bra ran from the kid back to her classmates. By the time she returned the speaker was finished with his historical presentation.
"Where did you go?" Marron asked her a little annoyed that she had left her.
"I thought I found someone who had to do with CAIN." Bra replied a little out of breath.
"Who?" Marron questioned now curious.
"Don't worry he was innocent." Bra didn't answer her question.
Through out the rest of the day, the students toured Tokyo and visited some historical spots. Sometimes they would stop in shops and some of the girls would buy stuff. By early that evening, all the students were returned to their hotel rooms to do what they wished.
"I'm going to go to the grocery to get some orange juice." Chibi usa announced. "Anyone want anything?"
"What do you need orange juice for?" asked Momoko looking up from a magazine she was reading with confusion in her voice.
"Didn't you read the paper that was sent home?" Chibi usa questioned. "The school said we had to bring our own drinks for breakfast. It takes off on the hotel bill."
"What no way!" Marron commented in shock. "Of all the stupid things to do!"
"Yeah I know, but we might as well get some." Chibi usa agreed.
"I'll go with you." Bra spoke and got up from where she was sitting in front of the TV.
"Ok," Chibi usa said. She and Bra left the hotel room and headed towards the elevators.
Bra was following Chibi usa down the hall of the hotel. With out any warning she disappeared from the time. Bra reappeared screaming in horror at the gates of time and was faced with Sailor Pluto. She calmed down instantly when she realized where she was.
"What happened?" she asked with a very confused expression on her face.
"Bra I have found out some very important information." Sailor Pluto spoke.
"I was kind of watching Chibi usa before." Bra explained.
"You don't have to worry about her now." Sailor Pluto replied. "I have found the exact time and place CAIN will appear.
Bra soon forgot about Chibi usa and began to listen to Sailor Pluto. "Where."
"CAIN will come for Chibi usa tomorrow at 1:15 PM." Sailor Pluto informed. "And-"
"We'll be at Tokyo Tower at that time!" Bra interrupted getting hysterical.
"Right." Sailor Pluto said calmly. "I have found a plan that may get rid of him from our world." Bra listened closer and more intently. "I have six disk like objects that will let us open a section of sub space. We will put the five smaller ones on five holy statues, which will give us the power without the silver crystal to unlock the portal. Another one will be placed in the center of Tokyo Tower and that will open up the void. The five that hold the statues will then react to CAIN's negative power and suck him in. The void will then close and CAIN will be locked in sub space forever."
Bra gulped as she took it all in. "So where is this tool you have."
Sailor Pluto walked away from Bra's view and returned with a large beige brief case. "Everything you need is in here."
Chibi usa reached the elevator and sighed when she realized that Bra was gone. 'I guess she decided not to come.'
Once she reached the bottom floor, she walked out through the revolving building doors and took off into the air ignoring the headache that was setting in her head.
Marron walked to the hotel room that Trunks, Goten and Pan had rented. They sat in a circle and talked about the day's events.
"Tomorrow we're going to Tokyo Tower." Trunks informed.
"Yeah and here another presentation." Marron groaned. "How many people would care about the history of some huge tower?"
Pan then started fading again and screamed as she usually did when it happened.
"Where is Chibi usa!" Trunks demanded in a loud voice worried about Pan.
"She and Bra went to the grocery store!" Marron replied frantically trying to grab a hold of Pan.
"Goten you stay here with Pan, Marron, you and I are going over there!" Trunks ordered.
Marron let Pan go and she and Trunks stormed out the door. They flew at top speed to the grocery and rocketed through the doors. They both ran quickly down every isle till they found Chibi usa slumped over with one hand on her head and another holding a shelf with boxes of crackers on it for support. A carton of orange juice was spilled all over the floor. The store clerk was behind her holding her still.
"What happened!" Trunks asked furiously.
"She's having a migraine." The store clerk explained.
"Is that it?" Marron questioned relieved.
"Yes," the clerk answered.
"Thanks, we'll take her home." Trunks said and grabbed Chibi usa's arm and lifted her up. "How much was the orange juice?"
"Oh don't worry about it, it was an accident, in fact go pick up another carton." The clerk smiled.
Marron ran to the juice isle, picked out another carton, paid for it and got outside just as Trunks was taking off with Chibi usa. They rushed her back to the hotel and to the nurses room. The nurse laid her on a white futon and put a warm wet blue rag on her forehead.
Just as Marron and Trunks left, they both ran into Gohan and Videl outside of the room.
"What happened to Chibi usa?" Gohan asked in a worried tone. "We saw both of you rush her into the nurses room."
"She had a migraine at the grocery store." Marron explained. "Don't worry she'll be all right."
"You two can go into the room and see her." Trunks offered.
"Ok," Videl accepted. "Come on Gohan."
Gohan and Videl went through the door.
Trunks and Marron entered their apartment and found that Bra was back.
"Should one of go back and watch Chibi usa?" Marron suddenly realized.
"No don't worry about it now." Bra replied, "I have some very important information."
"What was wrong with my mother?" asked Pan close to tears.
"Don't worry kid, she just had a migraine at the store." Trunks replied calmly.
"Come to think of it, every time Chibi usa experiences any pain, Pan starts fading." Goten observed.
"Oh my gosh Goten you're right!" Marron exclaimed in an excited tone.
"We can talk about this later." Bra interrupted firmly. "Pluto has pinpointed the exact time and place CAIN will appear."
Everyone paused and listened closely to Bra. "CAIN will appear tomorrow at Tokyo Tower at 1:15 PM.," Bra then explained Pluto's plan about the six disk like objects and how they would open sub space and they could trap CAIN inside of it.
"Wait, there are six of those disks and only five of us." Trunks counted.
"One of us will have to carry two." Bra replied all sure of herself.
"I'll take two of them," Goten volunteered.
"Ok that's settled," Bra stated.
"Who will take the one to the center of Tokyo Tower?" Marron pointed out.
Before Bra could say anything Pan spoke. "I'll do it."
Everyone looked at her. "Pan?" Marron said without thinking.
"I want to be with my mother when she's supposed to disappear." Pan explained. "Please let me do it." The young girl was closer to tears.
Trunks couldn't say anything but that she could do it. Everyone else sat silently.
Pan and Marron peered out the door down the hall and looked inside of the nurses room which the door was open. They were able to see Gohan talking to Chibi usa who was laying in a bed.
The morning came almost too soon for Marron and Bra. They ate their nutritious breakfast and drank the bitter orange juice that Chibi usa bought.
Through out the morning the students toured more of Tokyo and it's many districts. By noon they were heading towards Tokyo tower. The sky was dark and gloomy and an eerie cool wind blew through the city. Trunks, Marron, and Bra moved over to the side where they met up with Pan and Goten. Bra got out the disks from the brief case and began handing them to the others and telling them where their statue was. Then she pointed to the briefcase, which the big one was in.
"Pan, remember to put this on the top floor of the tower in the center." Bra reminded. "Just keep it in the brief case until you get there, it will be difficult carrying it without it because of its size. You'll need to ride the elevator up because there is no opening to get inside of it from the outside."
Pan nodded that she understood.
"Ok let's go." Trunks ordered and everyone headed their separate directions.
Pan followed the high school students keeping a safe distance from Gohan and Chibi usa and from the rest of the students so no one would get suspicious.
Trunks flew to the first of the statues which was in an old temple. The statue was in the shape of a large monkey. Trunks pressed the disk to it and bands of neon orange light wrapped around it.
Goten made it to his first one. His statue was in an old Church and was molded into a wolf. He pressed his first disk to it and it had the same reaction as Trunks's.
The one Marron pressed hers against was in a modern temple and took the shape of a rabbit.
Bra's was in a Shinto shrine and the one she had to activate was a large raven bird.
The last one Goten had to activate was in a pyramid like structure and that statue was a lion.
After that all the statues were activated.
Pan got in the extremely long line to the elevators that lead to the top floor of the tower. She soon realized that her parents would be getting on soon and that she needed to be up there. She shoved through the crowd ignoring the people who were waiting yelling at her till she reached the elevator pushing the person who was next to get on out of the way. Pan was the last person on and barely fit. The elevator slowly ascended upwards.
"Uh, do you feel that power?" Chibi usa asked groaning.
Pan could feel it. The power level of the being that was up there was huge and almost over whelming. Fear crept into her and her whole body began to quiver.
A lightening bolt from the dark sky struck the top of the tower. The elevator stopped and shook violently. Students grabbed on to the ends and each other screaming. Gohan held Chibi usa in place and a girl next to him. Very slowly Gohan made his way to the front and shot a ki blast at the elevator doors opening them enough for everyone to get out. The students seemed to pour out of the elevator and most of them fell over. Pan was swept out with the crowd. All of the students with the exception of Gohan and Chibi usa stormed down the stairways. They were all only on the second highest floor.
"I feel that power level you were talking about," Gohan announced to Chibi usa.
Chibi usa was grabbing her forehead and cringing at the power. She felt as if she almost couldn't take it.
"Chibi usa are you alright?" Gohan asked and tried to support her with his arms.
"He's coming for me." She barely managed to mumble.
"What did you say?" Gohan tried to clarify.
Pan ran to the other side of the tower and could see a dark black as night cloud like demon with a hideous white face looming above the tower. It's body was in to shape of an oval. The glass on all the windows busted open and Pan had to shield her eyes to keep it out. She looked back and saw that her dad saw the demon also. If he went after it, her mom was very likely to follow. She had to keep them away from CAIN so Pan ran back to Gohan and passed her brief case to his hands.
"Go to the top floor and put this somewhere in the middle." Pan instructed. "Inside is a device to capture the demon. Take it out and place it there." Pan ran back to where the demon was hovering before Gohan could say anything.
Gohan hardly had enough time to process what the girl said much less who she was. He ran back to Chibi usa who was leaning against the wall. "Chibi usa, we have to go to the top floor and place a device in this case in the middle."
Chibi usa couldn't answer. Gohan grabbed her arm and dragged her up the steps.
Pan confronted the demon CAIN. "Where is the Lunarian power," he groaned.
Pan cupped her hands together. "Twin energy balls!" she cried. That attack had little effect on CAIN except that it made him very angry. He completely absorbed it and shot a blast at Pan who jumped out of the way.
Down on the Tokyo streets, many of the resident had already evacuated to nearby buildings. Goten stood at the bottom of the tower observing what was going on. The force up towards the top was so strong that he couldn't fly up to the top floors and aid Pan.
"Hey you pervert!" Goten turned and saw Videl!
Not wanting to start any fight with her he took off for the air away from the tower.
"Don't think you're going to get away!" Videl screamed and took off into the air. "I can fly too now!"
She began to chase Goten in the air. A large blast blew in the tower causing a force of wind to blow them both off coarse. A huge piece of debris came rocketing at Videl! Goten flew back, grabbed her and cradled her in his arms and blocked the piece coming at her. Videl had almost no idea what was going on.
After a few seconds of trying to hit Pan, CAIN decided that he was just wasting time and flew past her. He slithered up a pipe to the top floors. Pan charged up the steps to the top floor.
Gohan had just put the disk in place when the whole top floor started shaking. CAIN slithered out of the vents and eyed Chibi usa who was leaning against a pair of binoculars.
Gohan frowned at the demon and began to power up for a ki blast.
The disk in the center of the tower began to react to CAIN's negative power. All five of the disks, that were on the five statues, lit up brighter than ever. A funnel of wind came out of the large disks in the tower and circled around CAIN and began to pull him into subspace. The top floor of the tower felt as if it would be ripped apart from all the chaos that was going on! Every window was now busted and poles were falling over. Strong wind blew any object that wasn't bolted down out the glassless windows!
"No!" CAIN roared furiously. "Must have Lunarian power!" An appendage from his body shot from him and wrapped itself around Chibi usa's leg and pulled her towards him! Chibi usa didn't even see it coming and had no way to block it.
"Gohan!" she cried in horror.
Gohan who didn't have time to shoot a ki blast flew over and grabbed Chibi usa's arm and tried to pull her back. His other arm held onto a secure beam that supported the tower. Gohan's hair turned a golden color so he was now a super Saiya-jin but his hand grew sweaty and began to slip from the beam. CAIN was much stronger than he expected.
Pan finally made it to the top and once she saw that her parents were in danger she ran up and grabbed her dad's hand, which had already slipped from the beam. She now held on to the beam for support.
"Hang on dad!" Pan screamed above all the noise.
Gohan looked at her. "Dad?" he asked almost completely forgetting about what was happening.
After one more force full pull from CAIN, Gohan's hand slipped from Pan's and he and Chibi usa were sucked into sub space with CAIN. The door to sub space closed and the force full wind died down completely.
"No!" Pan cried once her parents were gone and made a run for the large disk but was pulled back by Goten. Videl stood behind him.
"Pan stop!" He ordered.
"No I've got to save them!" Pan screamed and tried to pull away from Goten.
"Pan they're gone." Goten stated in a low depressing voice.
Authors notes: Will Pan be able to save her parents? Will CAIN be stopped? What will happen? Fine out the conclusion in the next chapter!
