Chapter 15: The Past
//Original Plane//
Everyone stood there, silent. They all heard Kain's statement. Chaos Judgment will be unleashed in three more days. Taki knew that once Judgment is out, he would be hunting everyone involved in this event. There are to be no survivors. She walked near Athena, who looked like she was deliberating on something.
Taki asked, "Do you know of a way to permanently defeat Judgment?"
Athena shook her head. She replied, "The only way that we knew was to take the crystal from him, and send him to Oblivion: Final Stage. That was the last time he was defeated."
Taki pondered on her answer. "Well, couldn't we do it again?"
Athena closed her eyes. "There is no possible way now. Judgment is one step ahead of us. Not only was he stronger today then in the past, but he's taking precautions not to let anyone get the crystal. Kain is the only one who can take it away, but Judgment won't let him."
"What are the precautions?"
"His armor."
"His armor?"
"Yes. If you noticed, it took a strong force to break it. Kain cannot produce enough energy to break it."
Vegeta glanced over at the two. He was waiting for his fight with the Guardian of the Original Plane. His patience was growing thin. Athena felt Vegeta's anger, but she shrugged. Their fight would have to wait later.
Pan just waited near the spring. She reflected upon herself. 'What happened to me back there?' she thought, as she tried to remember. She saw herself laughing madly as she glared at Judgment. The villain looked half-dead, but she still showed him no mercy. Pan shook her head at the memory.
Just then, Goku and Kain warped in front of the spring where Pan was. Pan looked up, and her negative expression turned into joy. "Kain! Grandpa! You're okay!" She ran over to them and, unfortunately to our two hero's, gave them a bear hug. The two wriggled and screamed in pain.
Old Kai and Kibito Kai looked on. "That's the expression that Goku had when we pulled out his tail."
Kibito Kai had to agree.
Pan immediately let go. She didn't want to hurt them, she just wanted to hug them. "Oops, sorry Grandpa. Sorry Kain."
The two were shocked. They couldn't even answer her because they were in so much pain right now. Everyone sweatdropped. Athena walked next to Pan and smirked. "Nice one."
Pan was about to retaliate when Athena picked the two up. She placed them both in the spring. She then said to everyone, "It will take them 12 Hours to heal. The injuries they suffered were far more dangerous then Pan's. Another minute and they would've been dead. Even if Pan hadn't squeezed the remaining life out of them
Pan still pondered about herself. Of all the people, why did she inherit the crystal? Athena heard her mentally and thought, 'It's time she knew of the past.' Athena said, "Pan walk with me."
Vegeta growled. "What about the fight you owe me?!"
Athena glanced back. "Don't worry Vegeta. I'll be back to beat you down."
Vegeta growled even more, but he let it slide this time. Athena walked into her house, with Pan trailing her. Pan asked her, "Where are we going?"
Athena opened her door. It looked like a traditional Japanese setting. She then took her staff and tapped it on the ground. Pan looked around as the setting changed into a cosmic setting. Athena looked at Pan. "I know you have several questions for me young one."
"Yeah, actually I do. What happened in past events? How did Kain turn young? And out of all the people in the world, why was I chosen to carry the crystal?" Pan inquired.
Athena then snapped her fingers, and came several orbs. "You'll find your answer in these orbs. They contain what you want to know."
Two of the orbs flew towards Pan. She raised her arms to block them, but they stopped. One of them glowed blue, while the other glowed purple. The other orbs disappeared. The blue one got closer and closer until something unexpected happened.
"Hi!" "Aaaah!" Pan screamed as she jumped back in surprise.
The blue orb then replied, "What? I got something on my face?"
The purple orb then floated up and rammed into the other. The blue one yelled out, "Owwww!"
The purple one replied, "You don't have a face moron. And what I tell you about surprising people?"
The blue orb responded by mumbling something. Pan however, was wondering what was happening. The purple orb took note of this. "Forgive me for my rudeness. I was caught up in beating the moron besides me down. I am known as Wisdom. And the bumbling one besides me is my, shameful to say it, brother known as Memory."
"How ya doing?!" Memory asked.
Pan was reluctant. She was speaking to floating glowing ball! "I'm doing fine."
Memory then said, "Hey. I went to King Kai's Club Of Jokes! Wanna hear one?"
"How about NO!" Replied Wisdom. "I should've been more wiser to –"
"Sorry I'm late guy's!" said a grey orb that flew on the scene.
"Chrono! Glad you can make it!" replied Memory. "Pan meet Chrono! He's our third brother!"
"Sorry I'm late. I was listening to music from different time periods and comparing them. I do have two songs stuck in my head though."
"Really? What are they?"
"Hey Ya, By Outcast, and She Bangs, by William Hu-"
"WILL YOU TWO QUIT FOOLING AROUND?! WE HAVE A JOB!" screamed the outraged purple orb. The other ones immediately retaliated by arguing with Wisdom.
Pan looked around. Where was Athena? No she couldn't have ditched her with these glowing balls that are fighting each other!
Meanwhile, Athena was walking out her door. 'Another second and I would've killed someone.' She thought as she notices Vegeta, anxiously waiting to fight her. "Ready Vegeta?"
"Get ready to eat dirt freak!" Vegeta smirked.
"Please. Is that the only threat you can come up with monkey boy?" Athena retorted. Oh how she was going to enjoy destroying this Saiyan.
Goten walked over to Taki, who seemed to have a troubling look on her face. "Something wrong?"
Taki looked at Goten and asked him, "If you had to destroy the ultimate evil, but at the same time destroy a loved one, would you do it?"
The question caught Goten off guard. He never thought about it. "Well, uh. Why do you ask?"
Taki said, "Goten, I need to tell you that-"
A strange voice unfamiliar voice interrupted their conversation. "So this is the Original Plane. Nice setup."
Everyone turned to the direction of the voice. They all saw two figures. One being a young boy who looks ten-years-old, and is wearing black shorts, shirt, and leather vest. His hair was red and he had gray eyes. The other figure was much older, about in the mid 80's. His skin was wrinkled, and he wore a red robe with the symbol of a Chinese dragon on the back. He was bald, and he had red eyes.
The ten-year-old spoke again and said, "So, you sure this is the place?"
The old man replied, "Yes. I'm sure of it."
Athena had to drop her agenda again. She demanded, "Who are you?! And what's your business here?!"
Taki recognized the kid. They met a long time ago. "Ian?"
The child turned to the girl who spoke his name. "Taki? What are you doing here?"
Goten looked at Taki in confusion and asked, "You know him?"
Taki nodded. "His name is Ian. Agent of Chaos Judgment."
Ian's face had a look of surprise. "Taki? Why did you turn on Judgment?"
Taki glared at the young child. "Ian. Don't you see? Judgment's using you! You have to break free!"
The young boy smirked. "I know he's using me. But I have a debt to repay."
Taki then replied, "You have to forget about the past!"
"Taki, you and Judgment are the only two who know of my past. Do you think I can forget something that easily?" Ian said.
The older one then said, "While this conversation is fascinating, do you think we should start on our mission now?" The old man grinned in anticipation..
"Yeah sure." Ian said.
The old man then said, "Our mission is to retrieve the Orb of Chaos."
Athena's eyes widen. "How did you know about the Orb?!" She demanded.
The old man laughed. "We know because of the fact that Judgment let us in on a secret. It will have the power to release his pet from the eternal prison."
Everyone was confused. His pet? How could he own a cat or dog? Athena clenched her fist. "You won't release Necros."
Ian then said, "Mystic. You go on ahead to search for the Orb. I'll hold them off."
The old man, known as Mystic, replied, "Fine. Don't get to careless."
Ian grinned. "Don't worry."
//In the Chamber//
Pan looked at the three orbs, who were still arguing. She couldn't take it anymore. "Shut Up!!"
The three Orbs then froze. Wisdom said, "Sorry. Well, what's your first question?"
Pan finally sighed. She asked, "What happen to Kain. Why is he younger again like Grandpa?"
Wisdom then turned to Chrono and Memory. "You know what to do." The two orbs then flashed a couple times, until he created a huge flash. Pan covered her eyes with her arms in order to prevent being blind. After the flash died down, she allowed herself to see where she was. She was on the Planet of The Kais.
"What are we doing here?" She asked I confusion.
Wisdom replied, "We are here to see the past. You see Chrono allows us to view the past, while memory allows the person to remember events. The two combine their powers to bring us this. Memory is letting us see Kain's memory, while Chrono shows us when it happened. Understand?"
Once Pan nodded, and Wisdom continued. "You see, the reason why Kain is younger was because of his wings."
"His wings?"
"Yes. Athena granted his wings back, but unfortunately, it had side affects. Kain knew this, but he had to get the wings anyways to combat Judgment. The result is he would get younger and younger until he vanished. That is why we bring you here to see this."
Pan was confused until she heard two knew voices.
"I need the Orb of Ages."
Pan turned around. It was Kain and Elder Kai speaking.
"For what?!! Are you insane?!!! No one is allowed to have the Orb of Ages! I don't care if you are an angel! Unless you have some good excuse, you can't have it!" shouted an angry Old Kai.
Kain then shortened a little bit. From the age of seventeen, he now looked thirteen. "Can I have it now?"
Old Kai's eyes widen. "What just happened you?!"
Kain rolled his eyes and said, "It's a side effect of my wings. By this time tomorrow, I would revert into nothing."
"Great! We now have another age crisis problem. First Goku, now you!"
"I know already. Just get me the orb."
"Fine. Sheesh! What is this generation coming to?!" Elder Kai told his apprentice, "Get the Orb now."
Kibito Kai immediately disappeared, and then reappeared with a glowing red orb. "This is the Orb of Ages. Use its power to stop the time disorder."
Kain took the orb, and the once brilliant orb's luster was reduced to a dimmed light. The rest of the energy transferred itself into Kain. Kain, now fully stopped from growing any younger, turned to the Kais and said, "Thank you. Now there's other business to attend to." With that, he disappeared.
Pan understood now. The wings would have wiped him from existence. Wisdom floated next to Pan and asked, "Anymore questions that you would like us to answer?"
The young Saiyan replied, "Yes. What happened during the time of Judgment?"
Wisdom then said, "I see. Do you really want to know?"
Pan nodded as her response. She would finally understand what happened.
Wisdom called Memory over, then said to Pan, "We will show you using your past memories."
Pan was confused. "My past memories?"
Wisdom then called his third brother over. "Yes." He turned to the two orbs and said, "You know what to do."
The two orbs then created a blinding flash of light. After Pan was able to see again, her breath was taken away. They were now at a beautiful paradise.
Wisdom then said, "Long ago, before you were born, there was an ambitious demon. When the force known as Chaos came, he took the opportunity to seize it. Because of that, he was known as Chaos Judgment. The new unclassified force of evil came and started making everything his own. But there was opposition he had to face."
Pan then said, "Kain."
"Yes, but there was also another."
"Who would that be?" asked Pan.
"You."
Pan was totally shocked by his answer. How did she stop Judgment? But none the less, she continued to listen to him.
"You see, this was where you and Kain lived. You two became the best of friends. But you weren't known as Pan. You were known as-"
"Hey Laena! Wait up!"
Pan turned around to see a familiar face; Kain. Except, this time, he looked different. He looked happy. He grinned like a child as he chased the girl with his wings folded down. "I said wait up!" Kain shouted. The girl whom had been chasing looked very familiar. It was a mirror image of Pan, except a bit older and with a set of her own wings
The girl giggled and shouted back, "You're gonna have to catch me first!"
Pan was totally confused. She had an expression of awe on her face. Wisdom then said, "You were known as Laena."
"I was known as Laena?" Pan asked. She continued to look at the two. They looked like really best friends.
Wisdom then said, "Yes. That was your name. Not only that, but there's also something else that you should know too."
"What is it?"
"From best friends, you two fell in love with each other."
"Wh-what?" Pan stuttered. She couldn't believe it.
"You heard me."
"Wait a minute!" Pan cried. "You expect me to believe that Kain and I were in love with each other?!"
"Well, see for yourself."
Pan turned around to see that Kain had finally caught Laena. He shouted out cheerfully, "Got ya!"
Laena then said, "So you did Kain. So you did." Then, the two closed their eyes as their faces got closer. Inch by inch, they got closer, until their lips touched.
Pan turned around, blushing furiously. "Okay! You made your point!"
Memory came out of the blue and said, "That is one long lip lock!"
Chrono came by and said, "You're telling me. I know time!"
Pan flushed even more until Wisdom said, "You two are complete morons! If you want to see kissing, watch a romance movie or something!"
Chrono replied, "Please. I've seen all those movies, past, present, and future films!"
Wisdom became furious. "You imbecile! You totally missed the point!"
"What point?"
"Never mind!" Wisdom became calm and said, "Anyways we now move on. Boy's, do it one more time, and then we can go home!"
The two brother orbs once again created a blinding flash of light. After the light died down, all Pan could see was a wasteland. "You see, this is the time when Judgment came. He had destroyed any opposition that stood in his ways for years. That was, until everyone fought him. Although his powers were far great, there were two who could match his strength. Kain, and Laena."
Pan looked around and saw Judgment, but this time, he was different. His armor was white and black, and he now had one angel wing, and one demon wing. He had the malicious grin that would make anyone shiver. She got into a fighting stance, peparing to fight him.
Wisdom said to Pan as reassurance, "Don't worry. These are your past memories. They can't hurt anyone physically because they already happened."
Pan felt stupid. She should've known this. She looked up at Judgment and asked, "Was this when he had the full crystal?"
Wisdom replied, "Yes. He has not only the powers of darkness, but he is balanced with light as well."
Judgment grinned and finally said, "You can't hide from me forever."
Another voice came out of nowhere and said, "Well duh!" Laena and Kain appeared in front of Judgment and started pummeling him mercilessly. The two then finished off the combo with a well-placed energy blast.
Judgment went flying back, but retaliated by hammering the two with his feet. He shot a gray colored blast, which almost took them. Kain and Laena split up avoiding the blast.
Wisdom then said in haste, "And then, the rest is history"
Pan looked at Wisdom and said, "No, I want to see this for myself."
Laena cried out, "Kain!!!"
Judgment held Kain by his throat, choking the near existence away from him. He muttered in between gasps of air, "You won't win."
Judgment laughed. "Why are you so over-confident? You're at death's door!"
Laena had tears strolling from her cheeks. (Laena.) She heard Kain within her thoughts. (Don't worry about me. I'll be fine.)
(But Kain. You can't leave me! Please! Don't die!"
(Sorry. There's no other way. Just promise me, that you will look after the crystal.)
(Kain! Please don't!) Laena mentally pleaded.
(Remember, I will love you, no matter who you are, whether you're from this generation or reincarnated, I will always love you. ) Kain had a tear stroll down has face. (Good-bye my love.)
"Kaiiin!" Laena cried out, as Kain broke free from Judgment's grip.
"What!? What are you doing?!" Judgment demanded.
Kain opened his wings and flew directly over Judgment and said, "Light Force Break!" His hand glowed in pure light and lunged into Judgment. Unfortunately, Judgment also lunged forth into Kain with his hand. Kain hung there, lifeless, but he still damaged Judgment. His hand dropped out of Judgments body, and a shining object fell from Kain's hand. The crystal.
Judgment noticed this and growled at Kain. "You little wretch. Oblivion will be your new home!" Judgment opened the black portal behind him. "You deserve nothing but the final stage!!"
Kain then lifted his head up. He smiled weakly and said, "Good-bye, Judgment."
Judgment's eyes widen at his response. Kain lifted his hand up, and blasted Judgment. As the result, the villain flew into his own portal. He screamed as it closed. Irony has took its toll.
Kain's body dropped to the ground, where Laena rushed to his side. Tears filled her eyes as she started weeping for Kain.
"Don't worry." Kain said weakly. "I'm sure we'll meet up again, someday." Those were his final words when his eyes closed. He would forever sleep.
Pan witnessed something she hoped would never have to feel. The loss of Kain. She then says to Wisdom, "I don't wish to see anymore."
The two orbs made the image go away as Wisdom finished. "I'm sorry that you had to see, that. You see, the reason that you carry the crystal is because you're fulfilling Kain's last request."
Pan didn't know what to say. She was completely speechless. It stayed silent until an explosion outside shattered it.
"What's going on now?" Pan demanded.
Wisdom said to his horror, "No."
"What is it?" Pan demanded.
"Two Agents of Judgment are outside. If need be, you'll be safe in here." He replied.
Pan however didn't hear him. She just bolted out of there.
"Wait!" Wisdom yelled, but it was no use. Pan had one thing in mind. To protect Kain.
Well, sorry for the long update! School is once again beating me to a pulp. Anyways, stay tuned for the next chapter: The Beast
Chapter 15: The Past
//Original Plane//
Everyone stood there, silent. They all heard Kain's statement. Chaos Judgment will be unleashed in three more days. Taki knew that once Judgment is out, he would be hunting everyone involved in this event. There are to be no survivors. She walked near Athena, who looked like she was deliberating on something.

Athena shook her head. She replied, "The only way that we knew was to take the crystal from him, and send him to Oblivion: Final Stage. That was the last time he was defeated."
Taki pondered on her answer. "Well, couldn't we do it again?"
Athena closed her eyes. "There is no possible way now. Judgment is one step ahead of us. Not only was he stronger today then in the past, but he's taking precautions not to let anyone get the crystal. Kain is the only one who can take it away, but Judgment won't let him."
"What are the precautions?"
"His armor."
"His armor?"
"Yes. If you noticed, it took a strong force to break it. Kain cannot produce enough energy to break it."
Vegeta glanced over at the two. He was waiting for his fight with the Guardian of the Original Plane. His patience was growing thin. Athena felt Vegeta's anger, but she shrugged. Their fight would have to wait later.
Pan just waited near the spring. She reflected upon herself. 'What happened to me back there?' she thought, as she tried to remember. She saw herself laughing madly as she glared at Judgment. The villain looked half-dead, but she still showed him no mercy. Pan shook her head at the memory.
Just then, Goku and Kain warped in front of the spring where Pan was. Pan looked up, and her negative expression turned into joy. "Kain! Grandpa! You're okay!" She ran over to them and, unfortunately to our two hero's, gave them a bear hug. The two wriggled and screamed in pain.
Old Kai and Kibito Kai looked on. "That's the expression that Goku had when we pulled out his tail."
Kibito Kai had to agree.
Pan immediately let go. She didn't want to hurt them, she just wanted to hug them. "Oops, sorry Grandpa. Sorry Kain."
The two were shocked. They couldn't even answer her because they were in so much pain right now. Everyone sweatdropped. Athena walked next to Pan and smirked. "Nice one."
Pan was about to retaliate when Athena picked the two up. She placed them both in the spring. She then said to everyone, "It will take them 12 Hours to heal.

Pan still pondered about herself. Of all the people, why did she inherit the crystal? Athena heard her mentally and thought, 'It's time she knew of the past.' Athena said, "Pan walk with me."
Vegeta growled. "What about the fight you owe me?!"
Athena glanced back. "Don't worry Vegeta. I'll be back to beat you down."
Vegeta growled even more, but he let it slide this time. Athena walked into her house, with Pan trailing her. Pan asked her, "Where are we going?"

"How ya doing?!" Memory asked.
Pan was reluctant. She was speaking to floating glowing ball! "I'm doing fine."
Memory then said, "Hey. I went to King Kai's Club Of Jokes! Wanna hear one?"
"How about NO!" Replied Wisdom. "I should've been more wiser to –"
"Sorry I'm late guy's!" said a grey orb that flew on the scene.
"Chrono! Glad you can make it!" replied Memory. "Pan meet Chrono! He's our third brother!"
"Sorry I'm late. I was listening to music from different time periods and comparing them. I do have two songs stuck in my head though."
"Really? What are they?"

The question caught Goten off guard. He never thought about it. "Well, uh. Why do you ask?"

He was bald, and he had red eyes.
The ten-year-old spoke again and said, "So, you sure this is the place?"

Kibito Kai immediately disappeared, and then reappeared with a glowing red orb. "This is the Orb of Ages. Use its power to stop the time disorder."

"You see, this was where you and Kain lived. You two became the best of friends. But you weren't known as Pan. You were known as-"
"Hey Laena! Wait up!"
Pan turned around to see a familiar face; Kain. Except, this time, he looked different. He looked happy. He grinned like a child as he chased the girl with his wings folded down. "I said wait up!" Kain shouted. The girl whom had been chasing looked very familiar. It was a mirror image of Pan, except a bit older and with a set of her own wings
The girl giggled and shouted back, "You're gonna have to catch me first!"
Pan was totally confused. She had an expression of awe on her face. Wisdom then said, "You were known as Laena."

Wisdom then said, "Yes. That was your name. Not only that, but there's also something else that you should know too."
"What is it?"
"From best friends, you two fell in love with each other."
"Wh-what?" Pan stuttered. She couldn't believe it.
"You heard me."
"Wait a minute!" Pan cried. "You expect me to believe that Kain and I were in love with each other?!"
"Well, see for yourself."
Pan turned around to see that Kain had finally caught Laena. He shouted out cheerfully, "Got ya!"
Laena then said, "So you did Kain. So you did." Then, the two closed their eyes as their faces got closer. Inch by inch, they got closer, until their lips touched.
Pan turned around, blushing furiously. "Okay! You made your point!"
Memory came out of the blue and said, "That is one long lip lock!"
Chrono came by and said, "You're telling me. I know time!"
Pan flushed even more until Wisdom said, "You two are complete morons! If you want to see kissing, watch a romance movie or something!"
Chrono replied, "Please. I've seen all those movies, past, present, and future films!"
Wisdom became furious. "You imbecile! You totally missed the point!"
"What point?"
"Never mind!" Wisdom became calm and said, "Anyways we now move on. Boy's, do it one more time, and then we can go home!"
The two brother orbs once again created a blinding flash of light. After the light died down, all Pan could see was a wasteland. "You see, this is the time when Judgment came. He had destroyed any opposition that stood in his ways for years. That was, until everyone fought him. Although his powers were far great, there were two who could match his strength. Kain, and Laena."
Pan looked around and saw Judgment, but this time, he was different. His armor was white and black, and he now had one angel wing, and one demon wing. He had the malicious grin that would make anyone shiver. She got into a fighting stance, peparing to fight him.
Wisdom said to Pan as reassurance, "Don't worry. These are your past memories. They can't hurt anyone physically because they already happened."
Pan felt stupid. She should've known this. She looked up at Judgment and asked, "Was this when he had the full crystal?"
Wisdom replied, "Yes. He has not only the powers of darkness, but he is balanced with light as well."
Judgment grinned and finally said, "You can't hide from me forever."
Another voice came out of nowhere and said, "Well duh!" Laena and Kain appeared in front of Judgment and started pummeling him mercilessly. The two then finished off the combo with a well-placed energy blast.
Judgment went flying back, but retaliated by hammering the two with his feet. He shot a gray colored blast, which almost took them. Kain and Laena split up avoiding the blast.
Wisdom then said in haste, "And then, the rest is history"
Pan looked at Wisdom and said, "No, I want to see this for myself."
Laena cried out, "Kain!!!"
Judgment held Kain by his throat, choking the near existence away from him. He muttered in between gasps of air, "You won't win."
Judgment laughed. "Why are you so over-confident? You're at death's door!"
Laena had tears strolling from her cheeks. (Laena.) She heard Kain within her thoughts. (Don't worry about me. I'll be fine.)
(But Kain. You can't leave me! Please! Don't die!"
(Sorry. There's no other way. Just promise me, that you will look after the crystal.)
(Kain! Please don't!) Laena mentally pleaded.
(Remember, I will love you, no matter who you are, whether you're from this generation or reincarnated, I will always love you. ) Kain had a tear stroll down has face. (Good-bye my love.)
"Kaiiin!" Laena cried out, as Kain broke free from Judgment's grip.
"What!? What are you doing?!" Judgment demanded.
Kain opened his wings and flew directly over Judgment and said, "Light Force Break!" His hand glowed in pure light and lunged into Judgment. Unfortunately, Judgment also lunged forth into Kain with his hand. Kain hung there, lifeless, but he still damaged Judgment. His hand dropped out of Judgments body, and a shining object fell from Kain's hand. The crystal.
Judgment noticed this and growled at Kain. "You little wretch. Oblivion will be your new home!" Judgment opened the black portal behind him. "You deserve nothing but the final stage!!"
Kain then lifted his head up. He smiled weakly and said, "Good-bye, Judgment."
Judgment's eyes widen at his response. Kain lifted his hand up, and blasted Judgment. As the result, the villain flew into his own portal. He screamed as it closed. Irony has took its toll.
Kain's body dropped to the ground, where Laena rushed to his side. Tears filled her eyes as she started weeping for Kain.
"Don't worry." Kain said weakly. "I'm sure we'll meet up again, someday." Those were his final words when his eyes closed. He would forever sleep.
Pan witnessed something she hoped would never have to feel. The loss of Kain. She then says to Wisdom, "I don't wish to see anymore."
The two orbs made the image go away as Wisdom finished. "I'm sorry that you had to see, that. You see, the reason that you carry the crystal is because you're fulfilling Kain's last request."
Pan didn't know what to say. She was completely speechless. It stayed silent until an explosion outside shattered it.
"What's going on now?" Pan demanded.
Wisdom said to his horror, "No."
"What is it?" Pan demanded.
"Two Agents of Judgment are outside. If need be, you'll be safe in here." He replied.
Pan however didn't hear him. She just bolted out of there.
"Wait!" Wisdom yelled, but it was no use. Pan had one thing in mind. To protect Kain.
Well, sorry for the long update! School is once again beating me to a pulp. Anyways, stay tuned for the next chapter: The Beast
