The Future Of Their Hearts
"Stop it now!" someone yelled from behind as their tears hit the floor. Trunks turned
to look at them. He was shocked to see it was the prince. He was ordering his own father
to stop what ever he was doing. Vegeta Jr., the Saiyan Prince, stepped forward. "You
have to stop this father. Look at them all. All of these beings before you. Look how they
cry as they are forced to bow down to the likes of you." Trunks looked over the people
below him. Mainly Pan though. He saw how her tears fell to the floor by her hands as she
was forced to bow before the monster of a king before her. The rest were just like her.
Men, women, even children had to endure this. What had he done to force them to do
this? And why had Pan done it when he hadn't even seen her. The prince slightly glanced
up and met Trunks eyes then looked back to his father. "You will never rule everyone on
Vegeta. I can withstand your spell as well as a few others. You... you..." He couldn't say
anything so he turned on his heal to leave. He knew he should do it quickly to or his
father would have hurt him badly. Trunks slipped out behind him. He had to be the
goodhearted prince Raybuken spoke of. Maybe he could help him. He caught up to him
but didn't fly down to meet him just yet. The prince stopped and looked straight up. He
met Trunks's eyes again. Trunks knew he had to go down now. He'd been spotted. "Who
are you?" Vegeta asked. "My name is Trunks." He said. The prince nearly began to tell
him he was royalty and formalities should be used even in privet but quickly reconsidered
his thoughts and answered him. "I am Vegeta, prince of this planet." Trunks extended his
hand to him and the two shook. "Tell me Trunks," the Prince began "Why is it you were
not affected by my father's spell?" Trunks looked confused. "What spell?" he asked.
"You mean to say you don't know about my father's spell. It immediately affects who so
ever is in his presence unless they are of the Vegeta bloodline and you couldn't be." He
said. "There's a lot to explain." Trunks said. "About what?" he asked at the two began to
walk down the hall. They headed into Vegeta's sleeping chamber to speak. "I am of the
royal bloodline though I don't look it. I know I shouldn't be telling you or anyone for that
matter of this because it could change history. I come from far in the future from another
planet, Earth. I'm not pure Saiyan either as you can see but I'm not part Tuffle. I'm part
human. I came here to find the Sword of Three Elements with my friend, Pan." he said
dropping his head slightly. He wished she were here right now. "I'm sorry about your
friend." Vegeta said. "Now, about the sword." Vegeta began. "Take it if you must. I can't
stand the thought of living on the same planet as it as it is. It has a black aura to it. Or at
least that it what I've been lead to believe. It is what gave my father the power to use the
Spell of the Rule." "Where is the sword at?" Trunks asked. "Near the castles center
chamber. I could take you there." Vegeta told him but then Kia spoke up and both Trunks
and Vegeta heard her. "No Trunks." She said. "Pan must be the one to obtain the sword.
She was the chosen for the task. Break the spell Trunks." She said. Her voice left behind
an echo of "Break the spell..." which repeat in the air above about six times. "Vegeta, do
you know how to break the spell?" Trunks asked. He would have had to have asked
sooner or later anyway to get Pan. "I know of a way but it is difficult. Only one person in
the universe can do it, a different person for everyone in the universe might I add, and I
hope it's you Trunks, for Pan. Only there love can break the spell with the magical Tune
of Hearts but it has to be done at just the right time from the time the spell begins until
twenty three and a half hours later the person affected begins the process of taking on a
gold glow. Once the process is over their love must play the Tune of Hearts before a total
of twenty four hours from the spells start time is up or they will have to wait a full five
decades to try again. We've got about twenty-one hours left. We've got a lot to do. Come
on" Vegeta said. "Huh?" Trunks said. "Well first we have to find Lover's Flute and teach
you the Tune of Hearts, and I know just where to find it." He said giving off a slight
smile. Or was it more of a smirk? It flashed so quickly he couldn't really catch it.
"Where's it at?" Trunks asked. "I woman has it. She lives far west of here. She's very
strong and once preformed many a spell with that flute with the Tune of the Fallen. It
caused all men that heard it to fall beneath her spell and fall in deep love with her for as
long as she wished." He said. Trunks nodded. "Her name is Raybuken." He stated.
Trunks's eyes got wide at that name. He had only just come from there. Now he and
Vegeta would have to great her again... or maybe not.
(((((Far West Of The Castle AT Raybuken's House)))))
Raybuken and Latcus had just walked in and Raybuken was trying to explain to her
son how to sense that Trunks had not been Tuffle. A knock came at her door. "Who could
that be?" Raybuken said to herself. She walked up to her screen door and opened it. "Yes,
may I help you?" She said noticing she hadn't ever met them and that they carried guns
and bore the symbol of the Saiyan Army. One was a tall Saiyan who was very muscular
with black hair spiked up about two inches on top of his hair. The rest fall down and was
pulled back behind his head in a rubber band. He had a long scar that stretched the length
of the right side of his face. The other man, also a Saiyan, was shorter, around
Raybuken's height. He was older than her and the other man as well. He was slightly
over weight and wasn't quiet as muscular as the other Saiyan but still quite strong
looking. He was bald and had bushy eyebrows. "Are you Raybuken?" The taller of the
two asked. "Yes..." she said narrowing her eyes and cocking back her head. "You are
wanted by King Vegeta. Please come with us." The smaller man said. Just then Latcus
appeared behind her. "Mother..." he began. He was hushed. "Latcus, wait inside." She
said very seriously. He tried to disagree but she silently put her hand up and pointed him
into the house. He left and sat down in the living room where he could slightly see. The
three walked into the yard and Latcus no longer could see but stayed seated so not to go
against his mother's wishes. The two surrounded her. She stood now in a fighter's stance.
The two smirked. "Why does the king wish to see me?" she asked looking from the taller
man to the shorter one. "To be assured, that you're dead." He said holding his gun out to
her. The other did as well. These weren't ordinary guns. These converted your energy
into virtually unstoppable bullets. Each had it's own different amount of impact and these
two looked like they could cause a lot of pain to her. The shorter began to fire on her. She
dodged but was hit from behind by the taller Saiyan and fell to the ground. The shorter
man quickly landed on top of her. He held the gun in front of her face at point blank
range. "Say goodbye Ray." He said and fired. Blood poured to the ground around her
making a huge dark red puddle. Latcus was still inside and didn't know what was going
on. Soon the taller Saiyan man walked inside with his gun pointed straight at Latcus. He
walked over to him and picked him up be the back of his short collar. He didn't struggle
in fear he'd by shot. "Boy, this is your last chance to say bye to yer Mama." He said as
we stepped out side. He threw him at Ray and he landed in the blood. He pick up his face
now smeared with his own mother's blood. He wept as a gun was held to his back. The
taller man grabbed Raybuken by her tail and lifted her into the air. He began to take off.
The shorter man pulled his gun from Latcus's back. "Just be glad I am a man who only
kills if ordered. Your life will be spared until another day." He said as he took off behind
the other man. They headed back to the castle, the same place two others where leaving
from right now.
(((((At The Castle)))))
Trunks and Vegeta stood on the edge of a large window ready to take off to
Raybuken's place, now a solemn spot. "Vegeta, how does the tune really work?" Trunks
asked as they flew behind some trees to avoid two Saiyan solders flying toward the
castle. One was carrying something but it never crossed Trunks mind it was Raybuken.
Vegeta began to explain that the tune triggered a nerve in the victim's head that canceled
out all sound and sight for a moment and the one who played the tune is then all they see
and hear. He finished up his explanation as they landed by a crying Latcus and a puddle
of Ray's blood. "They... they killed my mother." Latcus managed to get out and Trunks
and Vegeta were sent dumbstruck. "No, she's the only one who knows the tune. With out
her Pan will remain under my father, forever." Vegeta said and Trunks dropped to his
knees on the hard ground. He was wide-eyed and white faced. Can Pan ever snap out of it
now?
So, I was a little late posting this (as I swear I did yesterday, oh well) but here it is. Next time Can Latcus help out Trunks in finding how to play the tune after giving him the flute he needs but will this bad musician be able to play the tune correctly before times up and he has to wait fifty years to try again. Lets hope Trunks is a fast learner but hey look! Vegeta mastered it. Can he break the spell or will Trunks be able to play the flute to save Pan's life. Find out soon.
