Well Guys I am not sure what to do… I have had no mountain dew today… I know what you are all thinking, she isn't serious, no Mountain dew is like dieing in a really hot fire and no one comes to put it out till your ashes burn to ashes and those ashes turn to ashes, well I will try to go on. Sorry if it sounds a bit sloppy. 6 more days till I leave… I will try to write as many chapters as I can. Oh and guys when it hits April 28 and I haven't' finished the story … I will most likely never get around to it for a long time.

Chapter 21

Back home

Pan stood by the hatch as she griped the wall waiting for the ship to land Vegeta and Eniguma stood close by behind her along with 50 other soldiers. There came a voice from the over head speakers ordering everyone to stand by as the ship began to shake. There came another voice minutes after and declared the landing and the bay's hatch doors opened. Pan waved her hand to signal to the others behind her to follow.

She moved with much swiftness off the ship and onto the ground, she stopped and looked around, this is near to were they would have it. She ordered for the others to set up camp and then she went off looking around for a nice clear spot to hold the ceremonies.

As soon as she came a distance from the ship she heard the others yelling urgently and there came explosions. She turned quickly and watched as the others charged and blasted at an incoming person. She narrowed her eye so she could see better and noticed it to be her father and he seemed to have only a little trouble with her warriors. She quickly came forward though and yelled to the others "BACK OFF!" she said in a booming voice. "He is no threat!" she said a little quieter as she stared at her father with a bit of suspicion. He was soon fallowed by her grandfather.

Gohan did hesitate to approach her and her grabbed her by the collar of the shirt which got a not so good response from the others, one of the others came up to Pan ripping Gohan's hand away.

Pan flashed an angered look at her but then flashed a thankful smile knowing that the girl was only worried. "I said they are no threat." she said and the girl nodded and floated back down to the ground.

Gohan soon began to yell and for some time Pan couldn't makes anything out of what he said and then she heard him clearly "Were is Trunks and Vegeta, both of them were Gone when you left. What have you done with them!" he yelled along with some other things.

Apparently Goku hadn't said anything to them all. But what was this about Trunks, he was gone? He should have been dead? Pan couldn't Make ends of it but finally one of the questions were answered as Vegeta flew up by Pan's side and Eniguma like a lost puppy followed.

Gohan stared blankly at Vegeta for a long while before he spoke again. "Now what of Trunks? Were is Trunks?" he asked but Pan didn't know that.

"I don't know." she answered plainly and Gohan was ready to grab her by the shirt again but Goku came forth and grabbed his shoulder. "He was supposed to be dead. I had sent someone down to kill him and they reported that they watched him die. Either someone took his body or …" she thought and it angered her "Or he is still alive" she said and looked Back to the her troops who were supposed to be setting up camp but had stopped to watch what was transpiring. Pan glared at them all angrily and yelled orders to the higher commanders to give to the lower ranked soldiers and they all returned to their work but still kept a bit of an eye on Pan and the others.

Goku looked at Pan and smiled, he had a bit of wonder mixed into his expression and obviously he noticed the change in her. "So what are you doing here Pan?" he asked still with a content expression.

Pan looked away from him as she was still pained to say anything. She cleared her throat before she spoke. "We are here to bury our leader and have the succession ceremony." she said with sadness seeping into her expression.

Goku looked at her and smiled he came forward and hugged her and placed his head beside her ear "it will be okay" he whispered very comfortingly.

Pan heard a few of the others Gasp as they saw this but she shook it off. She rested slightly against her grandfather before she moved beneath his arms to signal to him to let her go. Pan nodded her head.

Goku spoke once more "I hope the new leader will be a good one for you all" Goku said and all Pan could do was smile and then she began to laugh. She didn't know why it was so funny but it just was. Her face had reddened in embarrassment and then she cleared her throat.

Goku and Gohan stared at her, not knowing what was so funny. "Well umm…" she said contently but before she could say anything else she saw a dash of light thru the sky and then she felt something grip her around the waist. She was frightened for a moment not sure what it was but then she came to know that it was no threat.

"What are you doing here?" Pan questioned the little girl who was attached to her waist. It was Chi-Chi (her little sister, I am telling you all in case you guys forgot.)

The little girl giggled and shook with joy "PANNY PANNY PANNY PANNY PANNY!" she repeated franticly as she let go and looked at Pan. "See Pan, mommy and Daddy let me train with Grandpa Goku." she said as she fidgeted up and down.

Pan giggled glad to have someone to ease the mood a bit. Pan patted the girl on the head and took her into her arms and then lifted the girl on her shoulder. The girl started to look said and spoke "Why haven't you talked to me?" the girl asked talking about the communication device.

Pan looked at her and rubbed her head roughly "Well a lot has been going on" pan said explaining things "One of my close friends died a just yesterday" and the little girl took on a pouting face.

"Why?" Chi-Chi said looking as if she would cry.

Pan really didn't know how to answer that but she tried the best she could "Cause she loved us so much. See…" she stopped and lifted the girl in front of her. "If you live someone so much you would die for them, and my friend died for all of us…" she paused and waved her hand to the rest of the girls on the ground "Even for you. She died for all of us Female Saiyajins" she said and the girl looked at her confused and then smiled again, it seemed what Pan said to her cheered her up.

Chi-Chi stood there looking at her and raised herself back to Pan shoulder "Oh" she said very happy.

Once more there Came a ruckus from below them and Pan felt a slightly powerful energy from behind her and approaching fast. She turned quickly holding tightly to Chi-Chi and as she did so she saw a large ki Blast head towards her. She took quick action and grabbed Chi-chi from her shoulder and turned her back. She shoved the girl into the arms of Gohan and was about to fire back at the man but it was to late and the ki hit her straight in the chest and she flew back into Goku and would have fallen to the ground if hadn't held her up. The man who shot at her didn't last for there came other warriors from the ship along with the ones on the ground, then swarmed him and shot him till he was dead and appeared like charcoal with his burnt skin.

Pan gasped cause the wind was knocked out of her and then she pushed away from Goku.

The others looked at her very worried and Genshi rushed up to her from the ship. Every one was on edge, the SFE were at there weakest at this moment cause Pan was not yet the leader and if she were to die the whole branch of them could fall into chaos. She smiled at Genshi. "I am fine just grab me another gi" she said and Genshi waved someone else off to get it.

The mark of the leader was once more revealed and some of the other soldiers who hadn't seen it yet dropped to their knees.

Pan grunted as she touches the singed mark on her chest as she tried to cover it up. "Great not again." she said and looked away shaking her head. Soon Pan felt a tug on the leg of her gi and she looked down to find chi-chi who was safe and sound and amazingly she wasn't scared.

Pan picked up the girl and motioned to the ones on the ground to rise. Chi-Chi stared at the mark on pan's chest now and she began to trace it out with her finger and Pan flinched. "Does it hurt?" she asked innocently.

Pan smiled and nodded her head. So Chi-Chi leaned forward and kissed it. It was so adorable. "Did I help?" she said and Pan giggled.

"yes it feels much better now." and the little girl smiled with a priceless face of happiness.

Well that is it for now… I am really hot… I have no AC in my house and well it is supposed to rain today too. I hope it is one hell of a thunder storm
