A/N: Oh, just so ya know, "Omae o korosu" means "I'm going to kill you."
^_~ Nice teaser, eh? Anywho, thanks to all the reviewers! To Nyago, Videl
was alive but pretty much completely buried in making the Underground City,
so she didn't have much of a home life. That's why Pan decided she might as
well stay at Capsule Corp. I know I didn't get into it much, but they do
spend time together and stuff. Sorry! ^_^
Chapter 13: "Revenge"
------------------------------------
Pan slowly walked up behind Trunks. He was standing at the foot of Bulma's bed. She had a bunch of tubes hooked up to her and the only sound was the steady beeping of the heartbeat machine. Trunks glanced at Pan and raised an eyebrow when he saw she was still in Super Saiya-jin 2. Pan closed her eyes and took a deep breath.
Through their Saiya-jin bond, they could easily feel each other's anguish, even through the barriers they had put up. Pan was desperately hoping that Trunks would lower his barrier, but he continued to hide behind it, so she did the same.
------------------------------------
Trunks groggily woke up and looked up. He had been in the hospital for about two days straight and was starting to get sick and tired of everything about it. As his headache slowly cleared, he saw Pan out cold on the other side of Bulma's bed. Her raven hair was falling across her face, somewhat hiding the tear stains. He sighed deeply and looked away, wondering why he had pretended to hate her.
Suddenly, something caught his attention. That familiar beeping was no longer heard. Instead, there was a constant, high-pitched, annoying buzz. His mind immediately registered it and he looked at the machine which was supposed to be monitoring her heartbeat.
Flat line.
Trunks shook his head slowly and bent over his mother, hugging her tightly. Pan woke up from the commotion and rubbed her eyes, still groggy.
"Trunks...?"
Her gaze fell on Bulma's pale hand lying next to her. Pan slowly reached forward and grabbed it, not prepared for the iciness of it. Her eyes widened in realization and she jumped up, slamming her palm on a button on the wall which alerted a nurse.
The nurse came in and saw it, then started to run out when Trunks stood up. He spoke, his voice cold and emotionless.
"No... I'll take her."
The nurse nodded slowly and Pan glanced at him. Their gazes locked and she understood what to do.
-------------------------------------------
Pan and Trunks stood side-by-side on a large hill on the Surface. In front of them were eight very familiar graves with two fresh graves beside them. Pan's eyes skimmed over all of them - Goku, Gohan, Vejeta, Yamcha, Tenshinhan, Chiaoutzu, Krillen, and Piccolo- and her eyes stopped when they came to Videl's grave, which was next to Gohan's. She knelt down between her parent's graves and held two red roses in her hands. She slumped, fighting back the tears.
"You two were the most important people in my life... Heh, for nine years you WERE my life. You were the strongest people who probably ever lived... and now only two people will remember your legacy. I will always live to make you proud of me... In the mean-time, I hope you find each other."
She breathed deeply, forcing herself to keep her barrier up. She set one rose on each grave and wiped away a stray tear, sitting with the wind whipping her hair around her face.
Meanwhile, Trunks looked at his father's grave and closed his eyes, bowing his head in respect, -'Too-san... I miss you. And I finally realize how much you always loved us... even though you rarely acted like it.-
He looked at his mother's grave and made a pained face, -'Kaa-san... you were my only reason for living... Until now. I'm going to miss both of you, but... I know you're pleased with the mate I've chosen.-
Pan stood up and took a deep breath in an attempt to calm herself down. However, she failed miserably and the dam broke, sending tears flowing down her face. She turned around and sobbed for a few moments before she flung herself at Trunks. She wrapped her arms around his waist, the tears flowing down her face with nothing to hold them back.
Trunks looked surprised for a few moments before he hugged her back, resting his cheek on her head. He closed his eyes as several tears fell down his face.
They stood leaning against each other and crying for hours, dropping all the barriers and releasing their anguish. Finally, Pan started to go limp and Trunks realized she was exhausted. He picked her up and flew her back to the underground city, putting her in her room.
He laid her down on her bed and jumped when he heard an explosion just down the street. He immediately recognized Kaijin's ki and a look of rage flashed in his eyes. He opened the window and flew out, spotting Kaijin easily. Kaijin turned to face him and smirked wickedly. Trunks glared at him with one of those "if-looks-could-kill-you'd-be-rotting-three-feet- underground" looks.
"Kaijin... omae o korosu."
"Hahaha, right, little boy."
"You're going to regret the day you took on the Briefs and Son families."
"They deserved to die. Mankind is doomed to become extinct, anyway. We're just speeding up the process."
"...Okay, instead of trying to SAVE the remnant, you're destroying it... therefore destroying our only chance of surviving. I'll never understand you... not that it matters. You're going to die."
"Bring it on." Kaijin let out a war cry and a whole army of trained soldiers rose behind him.
Trunks smirked and began screaming, pushing himself to his limits. His hair flashed golden, then lengthened past what it normally was in Super Saiya- jin, into Super Saiya-jin 2.
-----------------------------------
Pan woke suddenly when she felt the sky-rocketing ki. She immediately recognized it as Trunks, and jumped up. She felt numerous ki's disappearing right after another. She jumped out the window and froze when she saw Trunks realeasing ki blasts everywhere in a fit of rage. Then she spotted Kaijin and growled, flashing into Super Saiya-jin 2.
Using super-speed, she appeared in front of him and folded her arms. He stared up at her in shock, trying to make sense of it.
"I know what you're thinking... 'What are they?' Am I right?" she smirked when he remained speechless and narrowed her eyes, "Lemme tell you... We're the remnants of the Saiya-jin race. Our mothers will be avenged."
She let out a scream and powered up a blast, but stopped when a rocket slammed into her back. She spun around and was about to blast the person who shot it at her, when she saw Trunks release a ki beam at the man. She turned around to face Kaijin and was about to blow him away when Trunks appeared next to her.
"My turn."
"...We can't both kill him."
"Oh?"
He stood several feet away from Kaijin with his side facing the man. He held his hand out and glared at the man, still facing away. Pan recognized it as one of the twin attacks the Jinzouningen used and flew over to him with her back to him, mirroring him. They both growled and released enormous ki blasts at the man, causing a huge explosion which destroyed the rest of Kaijin's army.

Ooo, what happens now? Hee hee, I know and you'll have to wait to find out! ^_^ Review!
