"Hello Pan." He replied smoothly brushing stray hairs away from his face.
He flipped down from his perch, landing on the soft tropical grass. Looking
around he shrugged and shoved his hands in his pocket. Was this where she
went the last time she disappeared?
"Trunks, you followed me here?" Pan asked, her shock fading into anger. Who did he think he was?
"Of course, I wanted to know why." He answered softly. "Why don't you love me?" His face filled with pain and Pan shrunk under his gaze.
"Trunks...I thought it was what I wanted but it isn't. You've had your chance and you turned me down...it's time to move on now." Pan replied. Angel's hold tightened around her giving her silent reassurance.
Trunks on the other hand wouldn't have it. "So you're just gonna choose this..." he paused to shoot a glare towards Angel. "This thing?" Pan could feel a huge fight brewing and looked around the peace place one last time.
Angel watched her as she did this. /You'd like to move our location, right? /
Pan looked from Trunks to Angel. "I...uh..." / you'd do that for me? /
Angel nodded, grabbing her arm and taking off. He'd do anything for her; besides, he had been waiting to fight Trunks anyway. An open field was traditional, but the ocean was better, oh the decisions! Trunks followed behind as expected and as soon as a good spot came into view Angel landed and place Pan gently on her feet.
"Are you sure about this?" Pan asked. "I could just try to talk to him." As close to impossible that was it just might work, yeah right.
Angel nodded. "Yeah, I'll be careful...I promise. Just stay out of the way." He walked forward slowly with his hands shoved lazy in his pockets. After being with Pan for so long and witnessing her tantrums he kinda knew what to expect when it came to the usual ki blasts or transformations, but everyone was different...
Trunks wasted no time in powering up and in that instant Angel took the time to sum him up. This would not be as easy as it was the last time. He'd let Trunks attack first, that was he could get a better idea of what he was up against.
Pan on the other hand wasn't so sure about the upcoming battle. It wasn't like she wanted to of the people she cared about to get hurt. She couldn't stand it.
Trunks flew towards Angel and fired a ki blast at him. In return Angel dug his feet into the ground and moved his hands up to block. The blast exploded into a blinding mixture of fire and light surrounding him completely.
Pan paled and backed further away, her hand placed over her mouth in horror. She suddenly realized that Trunks was aiming for a quick win. There would be no games or holding back this time. She could see it, he wanted Angel dead. But...what would happen if he won? What would she do?
The smoke cleared revealing a crater where her friend once stood; the scream that had been trying to escape her mouth came out as a silent gasp. Trunks however seemed unmoved. He stood motionless as he scanned the sky.
In a bright flash of light Angel appeared suddenly. He phased behind Trunks kicking him hard in the back then realizing a ki blast of his own. It didn't take him long to figure out Trunks' plan and it disgusted him. He'd have to be careful with this one. There was one way to beat him, but power like that was unheard of, not for half humans anyway. It wouldn't hurt to try though. If Trunks wanted a short battle he'd have one, but he knew one thing for sure, he wouldn't lose.
They came together again throwing kicks and punches. Angel was caught once in the stomach, but came back but spin kicking Trunks in the face. Trunks charged at him again and Angel flipped out the way. This seemed to go on forever until Trunks reached for Angel's hair suddenly, throwing him up into the air and releasing another devastating ki blast.
Pan let out a mournful scream and fell to the ground. He didn't have time to put up a defense...he was caught off guard. It wasn't fair. How could he? Satisfied, Trunks dusted his hands off and turned towards her, a triumphant smirk on his face. It made her sick to the stomach. His hand reached out for her and she desperately tried to back away. "I won fare and square, you could at least be happy for me Pan-chan." He said softly.
" You stay away from me! Don't touch me!" she screeched in reply. He said...he said he be careful...
"I'm not going to hurt you. Come on!" he chuckled lightly. The smile on his face pissed her off to no end. So no, he would not touch her, no one would...
"Don't you come near me!" she yelled again, raising a ki blast to her chest. That got his attention.
*~*~*~*~*~*
Such a peaceful darkness...yet not death. He could tell he was still breathing, but as far a where he was... He sat up and rubbed his head. Why did it feel like a trunk had hit him...repeatedly? Last time he checked that wasn't natural. He turned his head to the sound of giggling. Oh great, he was and pain and hearing things, the two mixed usually didn't mean well. "Oh...man..." A dim light appeared over his body suddenly. Slowly he followed the light to a pair of hands and a face. Joanne's. "Great, I feel like shit plus I'm seeing things.
The girl giggled. "You're not seeing things, I'm real." She positioned her hands over another part of his body, letting the glow fall there.
"So...why is it so dark? Am I in hell?" It still didn't make since to him, not completely anyway.
"It's so dark because of the injuries you've received. Since you're still alive you can't come to us...we have to come to you. We're inside you, Angel." She moved her hands again, grinning when se saw the look on his face. "It's easier for the dead to communicate with the living while they're sleep, or unconscious in your case. So we come to you. Most of the time when the dead speak to you it is because they want to reassure their loved ones that they're all right and to move on. Happens all the time.
Angel nodded a little and sat up seeing his energy being restored. One of his sister's greatest techniques was the ability to heal. "I get it now." He mumbled looking around as his surroundings came into view. The place he was in resembled his hideaway greatly and he soon relaxed feeling at home.
"You have to go back soon." Joanne said suddenly. She looked behind him as an image began to take form and he turned as well. Angle's eyes widened at the scene before him. It showed the battlefield and Pan...would she really kill her self? "You have a lot of sleeping energy Angel, Mother said so."
"Mother? Where is she?" He looked around for her, almost expecting to see her resting by the shore or leaning against a tree with that same soft smile on her lips, but she wasn't there.
"She said it would be better if you didn't see her now. But the hidden power you've been trying to unlock, you have it..."
"How? I'm a half-breed? I don't understand."
"Don't worry about it. All you need to know is that yours has taken on a different form. You possess the strongest power of all, the power of the guardian.
*~*~*~*~*~*
"Take one step closer and I swear I'll do it." She hissed. Pan brought the blast closer to her chest, causing the material of her shirt to start burning away.
"Pan, come on...we can talk about this." Trunks pleaded. He hated seeing he like this. So instead he backed up.
"I don't want to talk to you...right about now I want to strangle you!" she growled.
"Fine...I'll leave you alone then." He replied with a shrug. Slowly he turned around to leave. Pan let go of the energy she had been holding and let out a soft sigh. Man she missed Angel. She regretted letting her guard down because as soon as she did Trunks came back and grabbed her.
She let out a small yelp, clawing and biting at the hands that held her. He wouldn't take her...he wouldn't... Her prayers were answered as Trunks was pushed off of her.
Cursing he got to his feet and glared up at the sky. Silhouetted by the sun was a figure. A smile crept onto Pan's face when she saw it. The figure descended suddenly, setting it's feet on the soft ground. Angel had returned much to her relief. He wore a white and gold gi with matching shoes and slash. His arms cross against his chest.
Growling Trunks released another ki blast. This guy just refused to stay dead. Angel quickly extended his wings grabbing four glittering features and forming it into a sword to deflect the attack. Trunks nodded. "Your defense is very good. But you should know from the last time that I could kill you in one blast..." he sneered.
"I'd like to see you try." Angel replied. Trunks powered up into super sayien mode gathering energy for his strongest attack. The ground beneath him began to crumble and break away and Angel watched curiously. Before long he begin to power up too, filled with newfound energy. Balls ready they got ready to fire...
Pan scrambled to her feet to try to stop it, they'd kill each other. "Stop it! No!" She skidded to a stop just as both attacks were released, her screams lost in the wind as they connected and exploded, engulfing everything in the surrounding area along with it.
"Trunks, you followed me here?" Pan asked, her shock fading into anger. Who did he think he was?
"Of course, I wanted to know why." He answered softly. "Why don't you love me?" His face filled with pain and Pan shrunk under his gaze.
