Disclaimer: Again, I do not own DB/Z/GT! If I did, I wouldn't be wasting my time writing fanfics.
A/N: Hey people, guess what, I'm back!!! Yeah, I had to go and stay with my dad. The only bad part about it was that he had no comp., so I wasn't able to update. SORRY!!!
And now, on with the story.
No Longer: Revised?
Chapter Five
Videl's Loss
Bulma, Videl and Pan sat in silence after the burial of their dear friend and loved one, Chichi. Videl gazed at her daughters sad, yet determined look. Worried about what was going on behind her onyx eyes, Videl asked her daughter, "Pan, honey, what are you planning to do?"
Pan spoke harshly, "I'm going to destroy it!"
Videl stood up, "No you're not! You're going to wait here with us for Trunks' return! I will not lose you too, to that android."
Pan just shook her head and smiled at her mother. Then, slowly, she walked towards her and kissed her mother on her forehead, "Mom, I love you, but I can't wait any longer. Grandma is dead now, and who knows if Trunks is coming back!? I have to do something!" And with that, she waved goodbye and leapt into the air before her.
Bulma stood and shook her head, "Kids! They seem to think their immortal! Don't worry Videl; she's Gohan's daughter, and the granddaughter of Goku. She'll be fine." Bulma could only wonder if she was lying more to herself than to Videl.
Pan flew on, knowing the only way she was going to get the android's attention was to harass her taste in clothing. For an android she was rather egotistical. "Hey you poorly dressed bitch! Come out wherever you are!" Pan screamed in as loud as a voice she could muster.
Pan was waiting when she heard – more like sensed – someone behind her, "You're one to be speaking. What are you wearing? Black is SO out of fashion."
Pan glared at the android woman and coldly said, "I just came from my Grandma's funeral. And now I'm here to send you to your own."
The female android laughed, "What? You, kill me? Please! But since your intent on it, I guess I'll just have to have some fun with you." With that, the fight began. Pan blocked most of the blows the android sent at her, but was unable to deal any. They fought in the air until Pan was knocked to the ground.
The android floated down before her and stood arms crossed with a smile on her lips, "Give up yet?"
Pan forced herself to stand up, "Never! You killed my dad, you've killed my grandma! I will kill you if it's the last thing I do!" (A/N: yeah, I know, I've heard that line too much too!)
"So be it." 18 said, sounding as though she was a little bored.
Pan leapt at the android, but the android dodged it. Pan rebounded and began punching and kicking the android. The android merely dodged and blocked all of Pan's moves until "WAM!" Pan hit her clean in the face, sending the android crashing into a nearby building.
Pan breathed hard, she just had to win. Suddenly out of nowhere a ki blast hit Pan, throwing her several miles away and knocking her unconscious.
"Brat! She got my new outfit dirty!" 18 said as she dusted herself off and flying off, thinking the blast had killed Pan.
Yet Pan was unconscious, so her ki was hidden. She lay battered and bruised with no idea on what would soon go on around her.
Meanwhile
Videl paced bank and forth the C. C. Compound, worried something had happened to Pan. It had been noon when Pan had first left to fight the android, and it was now approaching 8:00pm.
Suddenly a pain shot through Videl's heart, the same pain that she had beheld from Gohan's own demise. Videl then crimpled to the tattered floor, tears of misery washing over her face. She had now lost everyone she loved, first her husband, and now her daughter. Videl's hand clinched onto her heart, she had managed to stay alive and raise her precious daughter fighting whenever she had to, to keep them all alive. And now the dreadful beast had taken her daughter away from her. It had taken too many of her loved ones, and for that, it was time for her to pay.
Videl stood up; fury, alone with misery, cloaked her deep blue eyes. She knew she would die challenging the horrid monster, but she had to try to avenge the lives of everyone.
Again, I am sooooo sorry for not updating in a REALLY long time!!!
Did you like it? Yeah, it was kinda short. But hey, what can I say, I think it's a good place to end this chap. Now then, I wonder what's going to happen in the next chap, "Of Honor and Death?"
A big and warm thank you for all who have reviewed!
