Love's Pain

Vegeta Explains



'Pan where are you? No one has seen you since the funeral. You are not at Hercule's or out in the forest by your parents' house. Hell I even looked at the mall for you, so where in Dende's name can you be?' Trunks thought to himself as he paced his office. It had been hours since he left Gohan's house and he had yet to hear a word about where Pan was. When Goten called to say that she still hadn't come home, Trunks changed into jeans and a Capsule Corps t-shirt so that he could go look for her easier. He decided to go back over to Gohan's and get some help in looking for her. He didn't know why but Trunks had a sickening feeling in the back of his mind that Pan was in grave danger.

Ding Dong

"Hey Trunks, what are you doing back here? Pan's not home yet." Gohan said as he let Trunks into the house.

"Hey Gohan. I know she's not here. That's why I came over. Gohan, I have this feeling that she is in grave danger. You and I both know that she would never disappear like this unless something happened to her. I need you to get everyone over here so that we can go and find her."

"Okay Trunks, I will. Why don't you go lay down for a little while. You don't look so good."

"Thanks Gohan. I haven't slept in the last few days. I think I will take you up on that offer."

"Look why don't you use Pan's old room, and when everyone gets here I will come and get you up."

"Okay." Trunks said as he climb the stairs to Pan's room, to get a nap. Once he reached the room Trunks stopped to look around at the room. Pan still had pictures around the room and she had left an old teddy bear on her bed. It was the bear she had won when she was four at the Tenkaichi Budokai. Trunks smiled when he saw the bear. He remembered that Goku had to help her carry it because it was twice her size. As he turned to take his shoes off, one picture caught his attention. It was of the three of them after she defeated Goten for the third time when she was sixteen. Right next to it was one with him holding her and Pan placing a kiss on his cheek. Trunks remembered feeling embrassed but kind of happy form the attention Pan gave him. 'I promise I will make everything up to you and I will never let you go again. I love you Pan, nothing will ever change that.'

"Dende Please give me one last chance to tell Pan love her. That's all I ask for. I just want another chance to be with her."

~~DREAM~~

He saw Pan in a dark corner she had someone's head in her lap and she was crying. "Please Trunks come save me. I love you." he heard Pan say before something blocked his vision of her.

"Brolli, where is Pan what have you done to her?"

"Nothing yet. She and Parisu are fine for now. Oh but if you come charging in here with anyone else besides Little Kakarott then I will simply kill them both in a way that will haunt you for the rest of your days."

As Brolli moved out of the way, Trunks could see an image of what would happen. Parisu was hanging by her own intestines, her face had been cut to pieces. Pan had been gutted, her heart had been ripped out and cut into two pieces. Both halves had been placed on either side of her body. Like Parisu, Pan's face had been cut up but he had also taken her hair and cut it off and stuffed it into her stomach. Trunks gagged at the picture before him.

"NO! I won't let you do this." Trunks screamed as he woke up. Everyone came rushing into the room the minute they heard Trunks scream. They were met with a Super Saiyan 2 Trunks, who looked ready to murder anyone who got in his way.

"Trunks calm down. What is going on?" Bulma asked as she tried to get him to return to normal and talk to her.

"Woman, this is all your fault. That damn job you made him work has finally driven him crazy." Vegeta yelled at his wife.

"My fault. I swear you would think it was my fault if the sky fell. Oh and Vegeta you ever call me woman again and you won't like the consequences." Bulma yelled back.

Everyone sweat dropped as they watched the proud Prince and his wife get into a screaming match with one another. "Maybe we should take this else where and leave them to fight this out?" Gohan suggested as he led Trunks out of the room. Gohan could see the pain and tears in Trunk's eyes as he tried to get him out of his nightmarish world. Trunks snapped out of it when he heard his mother threaten to brake the gravity room and his father's threat to destroy her lab if she does.

"Hey you okay man? I've never seen you so zoned out." Goten said as he sat down next to Trunks.

"I have. You had another dream didn't you, Trunks?" Marron asked sitting down on the other side of him.

"Yes, but is was different this time. Pan and Parisu have been taken and put in a cell. Brolli's waiting for us to come and save them."

"Di...did...did you just say Brolli has Parisu?" Goten stuttered.

"Yeah, I'm sorry man. I guess she decided to play mind games with me and leave you in the dark so that it would hurt more when he kills her, because you never saw it coming."

"Trunks, stop saying that he is going to kill them." Bra yelled as tears welled up in her eyes. "Pan is one of my best friends. She can't die and you just keep saying she is going to like you have already given up and decided that she is already dead" she screamed at her brother. Uub came up behind Bra and wrapped her up in his arms trying to comfort her.

"You think I want her dead? You think I could stand it if anything were to happen to her? I would sooner kill myself than let her be harmed. Pan is the one thing on this planet that I love more than life itself. So how dare you accuse me of giving up." Trunks yelled as he advanced on Bra with murder in his eyes. Uub glared at Trunks and pushed Bra behind his back to defend her. Uub still pissed about his jaw wasn't about to let Trunks terrorize the girl he cared about.

"Trunks, sit down and leave your sister alone. We know that you love my daughter but maiming your sister will not help the situation any." Gohan said.

"That bastard has gone to far. First he threatens Pan and now Parisu. I'll kill him, bring him back to life and kill him again." Goten raged.

"Goten, son you have to calm down. We will help you save the girls but we cannot do that if you don't calm down." Goku said as he patted his son's shoulder.

"NO!" Trunks shouted.

"No what Trunks?" Gohan said rubbing his head in confusion.

"Goku's right Goten needs to calm down but you can't help us. In my dream Brolli showed me what would happen to the girls if anyone but Goten and I went to save them." Trunks said in frustration.

"Well I don't give a damn about what your nightmare showed. I will not sit around here and let some monster hurt my little girl. So you either tell me where my daughter is or I will force it out of you." Gohan yelled as he walked threateningly over to Trunks.

"You don't give a damn that Pan will be gutted and Brolli will cut her heart into two pieces and place those halves on either side of her? He will also cut her face so bad that you won't even recognize her let alone think that she was once a living human. Brolli will also stuff her hair that he cut off and stuff it in her cut open stomach. But you don't give a damn. So be my guest and go bust in there and let Pan be killed."

Everyone blanched from the description of what Trunks said. Bra lost what little composure she had left and sank to the floor in uncontrollable tears. Uub and Goten tried to comfort her while Goku looked at his oldest son in concern. Gohan had lost all color in his face and had the same look on his face that he had the day that Goku died while fighting Cell.

"Why Dad why?" Gohan asked his father. "How can someone be so evil? Why is he doing this to Pan?"

Goku put his arm around Gohan's shoulder and led him over to a chair to sit in. "Son I have no idea, how someone can do this."

"I do." Everyone's head snapped to see Vegeta walking into the room. Bulma followed her husband into the room not fully understanding what was going on. She knew that Vegeta had heard them talking and he knew what all was happening, but she didn't have a clue. Sometimes she wished that she had Saiyan hearing so that she wouldn't miss out on things and have to hear what happened after the fact. The minute Bulma saw Bra on the floor and Goku leaning worriedly over Gohan, she knew that something had happened to Pan. She looked over to see Marron trying to talk to her son. Even though Bulma thought that Trunks and Marron were having an affair she knew that deep down Trunks was in love with Pan. Now seeing the look of torture on his face she knew that Trunks had no feeling for Marron other than friendship. Trunks was feeling true love's pain and he would only be happy when he was with Pan. Bulma couldn't stand the pain that she saw her son in, so she walked over to him and wrapped him up in her arms.

"Trunks, sweetie, it will be okay. Whatever has happened your father and the others will take care of it. I promise." Bulma said soothingly to her son.

"Mom, you don't understand, there is nothing anyone can do. Pan and Parisu might as well be dead for all the help we will be. Goten and I are the only ones who can try and save them but no matter what we do they will still die." Trunks said as he turned around to hug his mother for support.

Through her haze of tears Bra heard her brother's softly spoken words and went into a blind rage. "STOP saying that! What the hell is wrong with you? Pan is not dead, she is not going to die. GET IT? Damn you Trunks! Why won't you stop saying it?" Bra screamed. "Pan is not dead. Pan is not dead." Bra recited to herself as she rocked back and forth with tears streaming down her face. To everyone in the room it appeared as if Bra's mind had snapped. Goten and Uub looked at her as if she were a fragile doll that would brake if touched. Uub felt his heart brake for both the Briefs children. Trunks was living in a hellish world and the girl he was beginning to love looked as if she had just been driven insane.

Trunks broke into tears at the sight of his baby sister. Her words had stung him to his core. He knew that she was right Pan was not dead, he could still feel her ki faintly, but Trunks could not help feeling that no matter what he did to save her, he would still lose Pan in the end. Bulma buried her face into her son's chest unable to bear the sight of her daughter's torment. Vegeta realized that the only thing to so for Bra now was to knock her out and allow her to rest before she became a danger to herself or someone around her. He walked over to her and clipped her on the temple sending her into unconsciousness and blessed relief. Bulma glared at her husband for his manner of taking care of their daughter. Vegeta just ignored his wife's glare and told Uub to take Bra upstairs before he decided to answer Gohan's question from earlier.

"Now back to what I was saying, I know way he is doing this." Vegeta said calmly. "Brolli has realized that by killing the girls he will be destroying the boys. It will also tear families apart. Kakarott and his family will be feeling ungodly amount of pain at the loss of a daughter, granddaughter, and niece. It will more in likely destroy your marriage." Vegeta said pointing at Gohan. "Your woman will not understand why you one of the strangest beings on Earth didn't save your daughter."

Gohan paled even more as he realized how true Vegeta's statement was. Videl, thankfully was at Chi-Chi and Goku's so she wasn't able to hear all of this. It would more in likely kill her to realize that just after losing her father, she might lose her only child. "It will probably lead Goten there to kill himself. Not only will he be losing his beloved niece but he will also be losing the woman he cares for. It will be like a double-edge sword, because he wasn't able to save them and was the cause of their deaths." Goten looked as if he were either going to kill or faint at the words that Vegeta said. Goku was torn at which son needed him the most. So he decided to stand in between them and try to sooth them both by extending his ki out to them.

"Lastly, we have Trunks over here. He loves the girl and is friends with the other. Plus he apparently has been having dreams about all of this. It will eat him alive that he knew what would happen and he couldn't stop it. His grief and guilt will push him over the edge and make him quite insane. Bra will always blame Trunks for Pan's death and will probably hate him for the rest of her life. If you ask me, this was the only thing Brolli has ever done right. He found everyone's weak point and is using it to his advantage." Vegeta said before crossing his arms back over his chest.

"Vegeta, what do you suggest we do to save them? Since Trunks and Goten are the only ones Brolli will allow to save them what do we do to assure that the girls won't die?" Goku asked.

"Well...





What does Vegeta have up his sleeve? Will Trunks and Pan ever be able to be together? Look for an old hero to show and possibly save the day.

Please, Please, Please Review. If you do then I will put up the next chapter. Not really I'll put it up whether anyone reviews or not but review would be nice. See ya until next time.
