The Future Of Their Hearts
A shiver ran down Pan's spine as Raybuken drew nearer. She stopped about three foot
from her and looked her over. The resemblance was that of identical twins. Same height,
same eyes, same hair, same everything down to the tone of their skin. It was just perfect.
She gave a nod. "I suppose you're the chosen one. Chosen to be my friends student as a
requested." "I guess so." Pan said relaxing a little. "She told me that you could fill me in
on some things. Could you?" Pan asked. "Yep, come in. Sit, sit." She told them. Both Pan
and Trunks sat. She sat down as well and so to did her son. "Where should I begin?" she
asked herself. "Ok, you know of the three sacred items I'm sure." She said. Pan nodded.
"Good, there is one here on Vegeta you must know. It will be a great task to get hold of it
and wield its power. The king himself can hardly pick it up in fear of its awesome powers
as well as its weight." "Where can I find it?" Pan asked anxiously. "Deep, deep with in
the confines of the king's castle. You'd have to kill him to get your hands on it. He is a
ruthless dictator over the Saiyan as well as the Tuffle peoples. He needs to be killed. He'd
kill me if he had the chance, that's why I live so far away from the main city where the
castle is." she said. Pan nodded again. "I have another thing to ask of you Raybuken.
Could you tell me of the woman, your friend?" "I suppose, why not. Well, she's a great
psychic as well as a healer. Actually I have a photo of her and myself somewhere," she
said standing up to look for it in a drawer across the room. She sat a few books on top
and other pictures as well. She carefully pulled out an old box and lifted its lid with care
and pulled out an old picture frame. In it was a picture of a younger version of herself and
another girl around her age with her. On it was written two names, Raybuken over the
younger Raybuken and Kia written over they other girl. The two looked no older than
twelve in the picture. Raybuken, she looked like Pan when she was a girl. Short black
hair, a cocky little smile, big black eyes. Sure she had a tail and Saiyan style clothing.
Now Kia, she was quiet different. She had wavy pink hair that came just under her
shoulders, big brown eyes, a little taller than Raybuken, and she had and emotionless
face. She kept her hands behind her back. She wore white pants and high, loose fitting,
black, flat bottom boots. She wore one of those things Chi-Chi wore except it was green
with pink on the edges (I don't know what they are only that I want one). She wore a
Saiyan style shirt beneath it (Just imagine the younger version of Genkai from YYH
wearing those clothes. That's where I got the design for Kia). Raybuken handed it to Pan.
"This it her, Kia. She's a very good friend. I meet her on a mission as a little girl. Or what
I believed was a mission. The king was trying to get rid of me. He didn't like anyone
rivaling his own daughter's power which eventually killer her and nearly her brother as
well. The wretch she was, heh, she disserved it. Every last bit of pain she felt, disserved it
all." She said then noticed Trunks's and Pan's faces. They bother were rather shocked.
"I'm sorry." She said, "You just must understand me. You have to kill King Vegeta so
his son will take his place. His son, he has a good heart, a good, good heart of gold. King
Vegeta is plain out evil." She said clenching her fists tightly together. "We'll do all we
can. Me and Trunks!" she said standing up. "I'll I need it to know where the castle is and
I'm set." She said. Trunks nodded. "It's dead east from here, far off. Nearly halfway
around the planet, that it is." Latcus said. Pan nodded. The four headed outside. "The
sword will be in a chamber near the center of the castle. You must be careful though.
Things aren't always as they appear in this world. I wish you both luck. If you get the
sword please return here before you leave." They both nodded. Pan and Trunks jumped
onto the winds back and headed dead east. Latcus and Raybuken waved them off. "They
don't know what they're up against Mother." Latcus said somewhat sadly. "Don't worry
about them son, they know just what they're up against and they aren't worried. They
have more power than you can imagine in just Pan alone." "Don't you mean in just
Trunks alone, the Tuffle boy?" he asked. "He's not a Tuffle. You should be able to sense
it about him. You still need training. Lets go." She said and turned to go inside where a
fate decided before Pan's visit awaited. If only the two from Earth had stayed a few
minutes longer.
(((((Halfway To The Castle With Trunks And Pan)))))
Trunks and Pan flew side by side to Vegeta's castle. Pan let out a sigh and looked
back at Raybuken's place. She just felt it in her bones that something was wrong. She
tried to shake it off but couldn't. "Trunks, maybe we should go back for just a minute."
Pan said with a little shake in her voice. "Come on Pan, we're so close to the castle, look,
I can just barely see it now." He said slowing down as he saw Pan was drifting behind
him. "There's something wrong." She said quietly. Trunks put his hand on her shoulder.
"Everything's fine Pan," he told her. "You worry way to much now a days. Come on,
let's go get that sword, ok?" He said. She nodded and faked a smile for him. The two
flew off to the castle grounds and landed. There weren't many guards out in the
courtyard. Maybe three of them at the most. They were easy to slip past. The two flew
high to the roof down the halls. They weren't sure if they'd run into any solders as they
went through so they kept hidden. They flew over several guards with out even having
one barely glance up thinking something had gone by. They passed someone else too. I
young man, around Trunks's age, 26. He had hair spiked high and he bore the crest of the
royal Saiyan family on his armor. His eyes were a cold black but they didn't seem as
though they wanted to be. Like he wanted to be happy beneath his shell of a heartless
Saiyan prince. He held the family's name as well, Vegeta. It was a tradition to name all of
the first-born son's of the Vegeta family Vegeta and they would become king, a tradition
Trunks's father broke. Pan had a want to follow him but they had to press on through the
castle to find the sword. Hey flew until they reached two large doors. They were
connected to that they both led to the same room. There was a large golden knocked on
the door. It was slightly open so Pan being the smallest tried to fit through. She did but
she was left floating in mid air. Trunks slipped in behind her and saw her face. Her eyes
looked blank and her face looked white. He waved his hand in front of her eyes and
wanted to yell to her though he was beside her and knew if he did they'd be caught. He
hadn't even looked forward yet but it wouldn't matter. He would not be affected like Pan;
he was of the true royal bloodline. Pan slowly floated down to the floor and Trunks could
only watch on in utter and complete confusion as Pan showed herself to the others in the
room but for some reason no one there even bothered to look at her. They all were blank
eyed and white faced like ghosts. Pan dropped down on her knees before the thrown
ahead. In it sat the high and mighty King Vegeta. He laughed an evil laugh as another
victim fell under his control. Pan bowed before him and from behind the doors flew open
quickly tossing Trunks a few feet in the air and then someone yelled as tears hit the floor.
So, here's chapter nine. I would have finished and put it up this morning with my being sick but no, my mom made me stay in bed all day until I got some medicine from the doctor so I finally got to type. Next time. Trunks finds out what happened to Pan when he talks with an ancestor of his own and finds out why he wasn't affected like Pan. To make matters worse something's happened to Raybuken and Pan is under a spell that it very, very hard to break. Can Trunks break the spell or will he be too late and miss his only chance. Find out next time.
