The Cost of Freedom: Chapter 2
As Pan gathered up the ki ball that she would use to kill her father, Gohan suddenly lunged at her and somehow managed to wrap one of his powerful hands around her tiny throat. She dropped the ki ball as she grabbed her father's wrist in a desperate attempt to free herself from his bone crushing grip. Gohan held Pan up in the air as he continued to squeeze the life from her. Pan continued gasping for air and for life. She knew that she would not be able to last long. Her father had become so much more powerful now that he was a slave of Baby.
"Maybe I can still reach him before it's too late." Her mind told her.
"Da..Daddy...please...please...you have...have to ... remember who you ...you are. Pan gasped as her world began to fall into blackness. Gohan smiled in pure pleasure as he watched the life drain from her.
"Daddy...I...I know you are still in there somewhere. I... I can hear your heart crying...crying out to be free...free from Baby. Not all of you has been lost...lost to that monster. Oh please daddy, please remember who you are...please." Pan said in her struggle. She could feel the life draining from her.
"Daddy...I...I...love...you..." Pan said as she took her final breath. She fell limp in her father's arms. Gohan laughed as he held Pan's dead body in his grip. Suddenly Gohan felt someone else's ki behind him. He turned around and saw Goku standing before him in Super Saiyan 4 form. His eyes burned with rage as he saw Pan hanging like a rag doll from Gohan's hand. Gohan threw Pan to the ground. Goku could still see the imprint of his son's hand on her little throat. Her neck began turning a deep purplish color as the bruises began to appear.
"How she must have suffered." Goku thought.
"Gohan, what have you done?!" Goku cried; his voice full of anger.
"I got rid of one more piece of saiyan trash." Gohan answered devilishly.
"What's wrong saiyan, ashamed that you missed out on all the fun?" Gohan asked his father. By this time Goku has stepped quickly forward and recovered his granddaughter's lifeless body. As he cradled the limp form in his arms, he suddenly felt his body surge with his new raw power. He carried Pan over to a small rock formation, and laid her down. As he kissed Pan on her ashen cheek, Goku knew that he would somehow have to detain Gohan before he could finish off Baby and save his family. He then turned and stared his son down. With one swift move, Goku stomached Gohan hard. He fell to the ground unconscious. Goku stood over Gohan.
"I pray that when you wake, you will have the strength to deal with the fact that your baby is gone and that she was killed by your hands." Goku said. And with that he flew off to find and destroy Baby.
