The Future Of Their Hearts
Latcus was letting his tears fall into the pool of blood. Trunks had blank eyes and a
face drained of color. Vegeta was in shock. Pan may have to remain under King Vegeta's
rule forever. "No." Trunks said slowly, "She... she can't." he said. "No she can't Trunks,
save her. Get the flute. Play the tune." Came the echoing voice of Kia once more. Trunks
nodded and a little color came to his face. "Please, Latcus, do you know where your
mother kept the Lover's Flute?" Trunks asked placing his hand on his shoulder. "The
Lover's Flute?" Latcus said picking up his head fighting back the tears, "My mother kept
it in the chest by her bed, why do you ask Trunks?" "We need in, to free Pan. She's
trapped under the king's spell. I'm supposed to play the Tune of Hearts for her." Latcus
nodded. He knew just how the flute and tune worked together. He stood up letting a few
more tears fall. He led them inside unsure of why the prince had come. They were led
through the lifeless house. Past a dusty kitchen, and a lonely living room, and into a quiet
bedroom. There was a chest pushed against the footboard of a bed. Latcus made his way
over to it and blew some dust off it's top. He lifted the lid slowly and moved aside a few
old photo albums and papers. In the very, very bottom was a hand carved wooden box.
Latcus lifted it out with care. He sat it on his mother's soft bed. Her untied a blue ribbon
that was tied around it and lifted the top. In it was a beautifully carved wooden flute and a
few pages of sheet music. The Lover's Flute had keyholes carved into a heart's shape.
Latcus lifted it out and handed it gently to Trunks. He took it in his hands and held it with
care. It was very old looking. "It's at least 150 years old." Latcus said as if he could read
Trunks's mind. He pulled four pages of sheet music and lied them out. "Which do you
need?" Latcus asked. Vegeta walked over at looked them over. They all were written in
the Saiyan language. "The Tune of the Fallen, the Tune of Life, the Tune of Death... Here
it is! The Tune of Hearts." He said picking up the last sheet. Latcus picked up the other
three and lied them back in their place. "Here." Vegeta said handing the sheet to his
descendant. He looked at it. It looked fairly simple. Trunks sat the flute down and
scratched the back of his neck. He looked it over. The sheet music looked the same way it
would on Earth only the G (Treble) and the F (Bass) clefs were connected together. This
made it kind of complicated for Trunks who'd never had a music class in his life. "Uh..."
he said under his breath in confusion. "It's easy." Latcus said picking up the flute. He
took the sheet from Trunks and placed the end of Lover's Flute to his lips. He breathed in
and placed his fingers over different holes playing the Tune of Hearts. It was a beautiful
yet very simple melody. He handed it back to Trunks. He sat on the bed. Latcus picked
up a stand from across the room and placed it in front of Trunks and lied the sheet music
on it. "Just practice for a while." Vegeta said sitting by him. He groaned, "I can't even
read this." He confessed. Latcus shook his head. It was required in all of Vegeta's schools
to know how to read music. "Alright," Latcus said walking over "It's easy. This key is
C," he said pointing to it. "That's the first note you play." he said. Then he pointed to the
music sheet. "Play two of them." He instructed. He did. "Good." Vegeta and Latcus said
together. "Now play D," he said pointing to the note above C. Trunks did and smiled,
maybe he could do this. Vegeta sat next to him playing along in the air moving his finger
to the music. Trunks looked over to him. He removed the flute from his mouth. "Try and
play." he said handing it to him. He did. It was perfect. The gears in Trunks's head began
to turn like a rat in a wheel.
(((((On Earth)))))
Mirai Trunks sat out in the garden with Mirai Pan who was slowly over the past weeks
began to feel a bit better. She'd lost a bit of weight though, and her face was still a little
pale but she was still the same Pan he'd fallen in love with a few years ago. "Pan," he
began. "I hear you talking about the other Pan a lot in your sleep. Can you really tell
what's going on out there?" he asked gazing out into the blue sky. "Uh huh." She said
with a nod. "There's a lot of bad things going on out there but there's some happy things
too." She said. "Yeah? Like what?" he asked looking over to her. "Well, Pan's under a
spell last time I was able to see them but before that those two shared a kiss. There's been
a bit of bad going on so far. It'll calm down soon, I hope." She said with an unbroken
gaze into an eastern space. Mirai Trunks nodded. "Practice harder, please Trunks." She
mumbled. "Huh?" Mirai Trunks said. Mirai Pan looked to him now. "Oh nothing,
nothing." She said with a little smile.
(((((Five Years From Present Day Earth - Vegeta)))))
Vegeta looked up into Karrana's face. She wanted to kill him badly. Her face was
blood splattered. Vegeta was still numb as could be. He could hardly stand up with out
his legs falling out from beneath him. He closed his eyes. He knew he wouldn't make it.
He knew this would be his gravesite until he felt a strong hand on his shoulder. He looked
up to find no one there be he felt strength flooding back into his body. He saw a small
flicker of golden light binding the demon in the shape of a dragon. It yelled out in pain as
the bony spikes on the dragons back began to drive into the demons throat. A few scales
broke off, and then more until they were heard like chimes clashing. Her throat was now
completely exposed. The dragon spirit began to disappear and another came forth. It to
began to take on a dragon like form, only different. It slammed through the demons throat
destroying it. It had used the super dragon fist. It did almost as it did with Uub. The Spirit
turned to him and waved to him though instead. Vegeta's head dropped as he smirked
and nodded to himself. He wanted to say "Thank you," but still after all these years
couldn't. So he looked to the skies, as the light was lost. All he saw was a dragon and a
man disappearing behind the clouds. Just then it hit Vegeta. That was their weakness.
(((((On Vegeta 23 Hours And 52 Minutes After Pan Was Put Under The Spell)))))
Trunks, Vegeta, and Latcus flew into the window of Prince Vegeta's room. They
landed softly. Trunks had practiced all day on the flute and had nearly mastered the Tune
of Hearts but he was still slightly off until he had a plan. Vegeta had mastered the tune
and he would stand beside Trunks showing him how to move his fingers through the
whole song. The tune barely lasted a minute and they would have about 5 if they hurried
to the thrown room but they couldn't get caught. They ran down the halls. It was a good
thing it was about three in the morning. Almost no one was working and Vegeta's father
was sleeping. All three slipped into the thrown room. Latcus stood near the door to watch
and warn for guards. Trunks stood in front of Pan and Vegeta stood by his side. He
watched his hands and moved his fingers delicately as he followed. The tune seemed to
flow through the room as Pan who was glowing gold began to take on a teal glow. About
15 seconds left until the tunes end the teal glow was gone and the gold quickly returned.
A wrong note. "Damn." Trunks said. "Don't worry we have..." he trailed of and grabbed
tight onto Trunks arm and pulled him into the air. A guard had entered and they all
narrowly missed him. The muttered something in Saiyan beneath his breath and turned to
leave they waited about a minute to try again. This would be their last chance. They had
exactly one minute left by the time Trunks played the first note of the 58- second tune. He
made sure to follow each note Vegeta showed. The old clock in the corner began to gong
the four tones till 4:00 AM. Pan's teal glow began to shine brighter and brighter. All of a
sudden Her glow completely disappeared again and a very light gold surrounded her
again and began to flicker. Trunks played the very last note and dropped to his knees.
"It's to late." He said as a few tears began to roll down his cheeks onto the marble floor.
"Wait!"
Sorry it took a whole week to get this up but a pulled a mussel Thursday arm wrestling Matt and couldn't type the end. I swear right now it still hurts. Well, next time... wait should I say what happens. If I do I'll give it all away. Well, maybe a little. Next time, plans are made for King Vegeta's farewell. Can they pull it off in a way that no one will fall under his spell? There, I said it with out giving it away. (smiles to self)
