The Future Of Their Hearts
Pan stood at the entrance to the Ice Palace. The guards had just let her enter, as well as
Kia who kept a nervous face. Kia didn't look either guard in the eyes so she must have
been above their class. Maybe she just didn't want to look at them though, who knows.
Kia led the way. They stood soon before two great doors where guards stood at either
side. This was the thrown room where Queen Serenity was to be. The guards quickly
opened he door bowing slightly to the two. They walked in. The queen looked Pan in the
eyes first, then Kia. But, Kia looked the queen straight in the eyes. Queen Serenity looked
back to Pan. "Serena, report!" Pan's stomach lurched as she began to talk. Kia had told
her that she'd be asked this. She'd be asked to report on what happened on contact with
Zero Imperial. Sound convincing... she thought. "Zero Imperial and I had come to a
stalemate and we parted ways after our confrontation. I left with an injured arm and he an
injured head." She stated looking her in the eyes. Kia was surprised; Pan hadn't let a bead
of sweat roll down her face. She kept a steady voice and eyes. She could be quiet a
convincing actress when needed, something Pan didn't look like she was fit to do. She
looked more like someone who'd goof it up, be she was perfect! "Very well," Serenity
said with a slight bow of her head. Kia and Pan did the same. "You are dismissed, the
both of you." She said. The two bowed again in her presence and they left the room. The
two walked halfway down the eastern hall and Pan let out a big sigh of relief. "This is
hard, I'm shaking." Pan said to herself. Kia looked at Pan's hand. It was indeed shaking
like a leaf. Kia smiled and shook her head. The two came to a room with two guards
again. This was Serena's room. The guards let them in. They shut the door behind them.
The rooms were all sound proof, which was good sometimes, like for a conversation.
"You were great in there, Pan." "Really!" Pan said excitedly. "You were very
convincing, for a second I even thought you were the real Serena, and I knew Serena
better than anyone." She said. She quickly covered her mouth. She'd slipped up again.
Damn it, she thought. "How do you know so much about her anyway?" Pan said. "And
how'd you get a hold of her clothes. And how come you looked Queen Serenity in the
eyes?!" Now she'd have to explain it all. She ran her fingers though her wavy pink hair.
"Okay, here's the truth..."
(((((Zero's Quarters)))))
Zero stood in his quarters wiping the blood from his trusty blade. The blade he'd used
to kill the two castle guards and the sword he wanted to use to slay Serena, Serenity, and
his father, Zeron. He laid the sword on his bed and walked into a large bathroom. He
rummaged through the cabinets for something. He found it. He stood before a mirror and
unwrapped his head. The bandages fell at his feet in a tangled mess. The prince smirked
and plugged the machine in his hand into the wall. Time to change back to the old Zero.
He turned on a razor and began to shave his head. Lavender locks fell onto the counter
top, into the sink, and onto the floor. He left hair down the center of his skull. "Now, all I
need it some hair gel." He said reaching for a bottle of green goo on the counter. He
oozed the think liquid into his hand and ran it through his hair holding it high.(It's spiked
and looks like a smaller version of Uub's Mohawk) He looked up into the mirror. Zero
was back! He sighed and sat on his bed and picked at the scabbing wound. "Serena's time
is soon." He said running his fingers over his blade. He stood up and left the castle now.
He was ready to face her again. No matter his injuries he was humiliated and wouldn't
stand it. Serena's life was his.
(((((In Serena's Quarters)))))
"... I knew Serena very, very well because she is my ancestor. I am of course over a
thousand years old but like Videl I was reborn only as Serena's sister. I am too an ancient
Asrokian only my birth won't show it. On my back though is a blue moon, same is for
little Rin. I technically am your ancestor too. I am the elder princess of the north here, I
am Princess Kia, and as luck would have it I was bestowed the same name and have all of
my memories." Pan nodded. "Strange." Pan said quietly. "You don't need to dawdle on
the thought though Pan. You should be training." Kia said. Pan nodded again. "You'll
have to sneak out thoughâ the guards don't it when we sneak out. They make us come
back. We'd need permission for the queen for them not to chase after us. It's crazy! We'd
have to explain ourselves to her to get out to and Serena wouldn't be out training just
after going at it with Zero." "Ok," Pan said. God, this planet is so weird. Pan thought. Pan
snuck out though. Being Saiyan made it easy. Speed was a top priority in her training on
Earth. You could be half as strong as you opponent but if you were faster and could
endure more you'd still win. Tier them out with your speed and then take them out. Pan
was miles away with out any one even noticing. She stopped in a clearing and sat on
some rocks. Kia was going to stay behind. Pan sighed and jumped into the air. This
sword, the Sword of Three Elements was supposed to be capable of wielding lightning,
fire, and ice. Pan hadn't really ever used the sword except to kill King Vegeta and then
she didn't even try to use any of the powers. "How do I use this?" Pan question to no one.
"Envision the power and wield it." Came a voice. Pan looked around. It was Rin!
Where'd she come from!? "Hey there Rin." Pan said walking over to her. She smiled
widely and hopped onto a rock. She swung her legs back and forth as Pan walked over.
"Hello Pan. You training?" "Yep," she said. Pan sat next to her. "How is it you know
how to work the sword?" "I don't know." She said. "I just do, just like I know the full
moon is special to you and your race, Asrokian and Saiyan." "It is." Pan said. "Those
with Saiyan tails transform on such a night into a frightening beast because of the moons
blutz waves." Pan said. "Saiyan's are strange creatures. Their greatest weakness it also
their greatest ally in battle." Pan looked questionably at her. "How so?" "If some one
grabs their tail they weaken. But their tails make them stronger for some reason." Pan
nodded. This girl, how'd she know all this? Was she psychic but still, how'd she know
stuff she didn't even know. "So, how do I envision the power of the sword, Rin?" "You
concentrate and find the element you need. Like the lightning. You concentrate and see
the lightning on the sword then you swing and you use it." "Really?" Pan said hopping
down. "I'll try it," she said pulling her sword from its sheath. Pan held he sword out and
concentrated hard. Envision the lightning and wield its power... Envision... Lightning
Wield... Power... Envision... Wieldâ she thought in her mind. She could just barely see a
small light. "Harder! Concentrate harder!" Rin said behind her. Pan tried. The light
became brighter and brighter. There it was, the lightning was in her vision. She threw
back her sword and thrust it forward and it hit the ground. The lightning trailed the
ground and shattered the rocks ahead. The pebbles flew threw the air and rained on his
face. Zero flew though the air. Far, far behind him two armies approached as so did a
war. "Serena!" he called. The name rang through the air. "Your mine!!" He yelled
unsheathing his sword and landing before her. Rin ran and hid in the bushes. "The bad
man." She whispered.
(((((At the Northern Palace)))))
Serenity was calling her troops. "Men! It's time to fight! King Shuugo has passed and
the army of Zeron is stronger now. We have to attack now!" she yelled. The troops
agreed! "Forward!" Kia yelled out as she stood before the men. She waved them ahead.
Pan hold on! I'm coming, she thought as she ran along side the warriors. She had sensed
the armies approaching her and quickly told her mother. The war was here! It was time
for Pan's true test.
Hi! I'm back again, sorry this is late. I had algebra every night! (sigh) Another chapter and more pictures to draw. If I had a scanner I could show you just what Trunks with a Mohawk looked like but you can imagine right?! What do think about that anyway? Trunks with a Mohawk??? Anyway...
Next time – The war begins and Zero faces Serena but when Rin steps onto the battlefield she has a surprise to show every one. The full moon rises and transformations are guaranteed. See you soon.
