My Love For You Is InsatiableGotenks looked around him for Sheik. She had vanished from sight. He looked to the unconscious Vegeta below on the dusty terrain, and then to Bra and Pan. He couldn't even feel Sheik's ki.
He saw her, but he couldn't stop what was going to happen.
Bulma had seen Sheik vanish, but it was too late when she saw where she had gone. In less of a second, she had paralysed the other saiyans around Bulma and was draining her energy.
Sheik's hand was holding Bulma by the face, her hand covering her mouth, draining her energy. Bulma was like a puppet, unable to do anything but scream at the pain of her life being sucked out of her. Sheik was enjoying it though: the power was restoring the energy she had lost and making her ki rise.
Gotenks saw what she was doing and flew there as fast as he could as he watched Bulma being slowly drained.
Sheik threw the Queen of Vegeta-sei into the rubble. Gotenks came behind her and before Sheik could do anything, Gotenks had slammed his hand into her neck, causing her to go crashing onto the floor. Gotenks went up to Bulma and checked to see if she was okay. She smiled weakly at him.
Gotenks filled with anger. He joined Sheik who was waiting for him in the sky and battled as hard as he could, but now it was harder. Bulma's energy had made Sheik more powerful than Gotenks. For the next five minutes, it was the worst of the worst of fights. Blood was everywhere, their blood mixing on each other's clothes, ruby red with green.
They stopped. Gotenks breathed hard. His spandex had been ripped of his top, showing his six pack. He had numerous slashes from one of Sheik's ki blasts that shot out mini daggers of light that scratched him. His eyes were bleeding too. Sheik's blond hair was matted and a green colour from the blood. She had fresh new slashes on her as the others had been healed by Bulma's energy.
She looked at him before shooting ki blasts at him. He dodged most, but the last few hit him with such force that he soared towards the ground, but Sheik caught him and got him into a lock. He couldn't get his hands on her. His SS3 hair tangled between them.
"I'm not going to kill you until you've defused," she rasped, her cold breath like daggers on his neck.
"Huh?" said Gotenks. He tried to move.
"You can't move. Maybe if I destroy one of the earrings on your ears, then you might separate. They must be the reason of your fusion," she whispered.
But Gotenks heard well enough. He couldn't let her end the fusion when he still had ten minutes left to destroy her. He would never give up. Never.
He curled his fingers into fists and released his energy. The gold explosion made her let go of Gotenks, and she was barricaded with punches. She began to block them and then pushed him back.
Gotenks growled.
"Vivid Kamikaze!" he yelled.
A rainbow-coloured light engulfed him before spinning around him and spiralling towards Sheik. She moved out of the way, but she didn't move enough. A piercing yell broke the sound of the attack. She could be seen clearly.
Sheik was clutching the front of her shoulder. Her white gloves were covered in her green blood. She painfully removed her hand and Gotenks looked at the damage. There was a hole right through her shoulder. A little lower, and her heart and lungs would have been pierced. It was an unlucky attack. He took her vulnerability to his advantage and kicked her to the ground below.
Gotenks looked at the Elite's; some had tended to the Queen. The battle was back at the palace. He didn't want the city to be destroyed, so Gotenks planned to move Sheik away from their currant position to the dusty terrain again.
Pan and Bra watched as Gotenks flew towards Bulma. When Bra realised what was going on, she tried to fly to her mother, but Pan held her back. They didn't need any more casualties.
"If we were going to help," said Bra, "then we need to follow them."
"No," replied Pan, "Gotenks will try to get Sheik to come back this way away from the palace and the city. We don't want any lives lost."
Bra relaxed her shoulders and watched as Gotenks tended to Bulma.
But Pan looked at Gotenks.
So much like Trunks, so much like Goten, so much like the saviour that they needed.
Sheik flew up. Gotenks met her. They fought. Sheik could no longer use her left arm, but she was still more powerful. Her speed was incredible. Gotenks struggled with her speed. He moved back from Sheik and flew backwards to make Sheik follow him. But she didn't. She stayed still in the air where Gotenks had left her. She was smiling.
'She must know what I'm up to' thought Gotenks. Sheik was up to mass destruction of the city and the lives of the saiyans. If Gotenks wanted to destroy her, he would have to go to her, as she wouldn't move. He relaxed and looked to the ground.
Sheik didn't want to destroy him. Why? Did she want one of the bodies inside of him? He knew that Sheik had said that Trunks had been connected to her in some way. Was that the reason?
It was rather going his way. He wanted to destroy her, she didn't want to destroy him. She would have to use less of her power and survive the next ten minutes of his fused form.
He looked to the fists of his hands. He felt how much energy he had left, and how much time. It was enough. It was enough for his strongest attack, the attack that would destroy Sheik. But it came with a cost.
The surrounding area would be completely destroyed, but that wasn't the cost. The cost was his life.
The attack would use the power hidden within him to cause an explosion of ki that would travel to the nearest heat source, but the ki would crush his body in an attempt to escape. He would rather die with Sheik than leave Sheik to destroy saiyan-kind.
He looked down below and behind him to see Pan and Bra. He felt his heart warm towards them. When the time came for the attack, they would have to move away. He only hoped that they would do as he said.
Sheik was still looking at him from the distance. Gotenks looked to the sky as it began to rain. He saw forks of lightning and he could hear thunder in the distance. He flared his ki. As soon as the water touched it, it evaporated. Sheik didn't bother. She liked the rain. Her entire planet had been one large typhoon. She looked at her long maned opponent. Once he was defused, she would destroy the one she didn't need and spare Trunks. She looked to Pan and Bra in the distance. She had felt Pan's eyes on her for too long.
Sheik had wanted to destroy Pan last to savour the moment, but she couldn't take it any longer. She didn't know whether Pan wanted to destroy Trunks still, but she was determined to show Gotenks just how fast she could destroy someone. She couldn't take Pan's stare or taunt anymore.
She flew to Gotenks and extended her arm to show Gotenks that she was going to punch him in the face. He raised his hands to block the attack when she vanished again. When he registered her disappearance, he found out that he couldn't move. Sheik had paralysed him. He looked for Sheik and gasped.
It was as if the planet had gone into slow motion. Sheik's outstretched hand backhanded Bra into a nearby rock, blood seeping down the back of her neck, her vision blurred. Pan gasped. Before she knew it, Sheik was holding her by the hair and slashing her, punching her, causing her pain. It quickly ended but Pan was a bloody mess. Her energy supply had disappeared as if it had given up on her. It was as if she was paralysed, but worse.
----
Gotenks saw Bra being smashed to the ground, the stench of her blood filling the air. His heart stirred, as if part of him was dying inside. He looked to Pan, held up by the hair and being bruised and battered. His heart leaped.
----
She opened her eyes to look at Sheik. She gasped at the malice but was quickly silenced. Sheik had hold of her throat, constricting it. Her air supply was cut off.
"Bitch," choked Pan, sweat appearing on her face.
"No…bitch is the word for you. Ruler of the universe is the right name for me," spat Sheik.
----
Gotenks couldn't look. He closed his eyes and raised his power. The sudden change in power and the overwhelming amount of it broke the paralysis.
It was as if the Trunks part of Gotenks had taken over him at the fall of Pan, the one he loved. He shook his head to get rid of the dizziness feeling and looked to Pan.
"Pan!" he yelled.
----
Pan was loosing air fast. Tears started to pool out of her eyes. Where was Trunks? Inside Gotenks, so where was Gotenks? Where was the promise that Trunks had said? That he would never leave her and protect her? That she would never come to harm?
Her Grandpa had told her that it wouldn't be an ending like before; that they would survive and everything would be okay.
"Trunks…" she whispered.
----
Gotenks flew as fast as he could to rescue Pan.
----
Sheik released the grasp on Pan's neck and held her up by the top of her arm instead. Pan winced at the pain, her tail curling; but at least it was better than being strangled.
"I know how you were going to obliterate Trunks: by popping a hole in his chest. Well, that is your death," said Sheik.
Pan's eyes widened. Again, it was like slow motion to her eyes. She saw how Sheik's hand went slowly back, ready to punch through her flesh, just like she had done to Trunks. Sheik's smile widened; a flicker of gladness in her eyes.
The rain poured down, soaking Pan to her skin. She couldn't bring herself to close her eyes. Sheik's face was dark in the darkness, but lightened up every time the lightning forked the sky.
Sheik's hand can forward, Pan feeling the rush of wind as it neared.
----
Gotenks put everything he had into getting to Pan. He saw what Sheik was doing. The Trunks in him had taken over most of his body, telling him that he loved her.
----
Sheik's hand came closer. Pan saw Gotenks coming closer and closer to her in the corner of her eye. Bra was unconscious.
Pan's heart was racing. For the second time in her life, she saw the flash of her memory, her life. Her life was a tiny speck in the universe. If time lasted one hour, the saiyan race would be right at the end of it, and her life would be less than a second. She now wished she had never been wished back. That way, she wouldn't die again, and she wouldn't be killing Trunks' heart in the process. She was grateful that they weren't mated yet. Otherwise he probably would die.
Sheik's hand was so close now, only a couple of inches away in her slow motion eyes. She held her breath.
Gotenks flew, his SS3 hair flowing behind him. He was so close, but then so was Sheik.
He pulled back his fist back, ready to punch her away.
He punched her in the face, spit spraying over the ground and a blood-curdling scream filled the air.
He was too late.
Bulma's breathing was laboured. The energy Sheik had taken was taking its toll on her. All she could see were the blurs of the saiyans trying to save their Queen. Sheik had done the same thing to her that she had done to Vegeta. She didn't want to die just yet, she still wanted to see her children grow up and have their own children. But if it was destiny, it was destiny. She could feel that something was wrong and then she heard a scream.
"No…" she whispered.
He was too late.
He had punched Sheik, her head twisting around to face him, but her fist had still met the victim.
Gotenks' eyes widened as he heard the scream. He turned his eyes away from Sheik and looked at Pan. His whole body went limp at the sight of her. He had failed.
When he had punched Sheik, he hadn't done it in time. All he had done was make Sheik move herself to the right. She had still got Pan.
Pan's eyes were wide open, her mouth open, a small stream of blood dripping down the side. She had her hands around Sheik's arm that had gone completely through the bottom of her right lung. She looked down to see her royal spandex turning red with her own blood. Sheik had got her, but she was still alive. She looked up to see Sheik's face turned away from her. She understood. Gotenks had punched Sheik to stop her from killing her, but it had been to late. All it had done was give her more time to live. She would die slowly. She watched as Sheik turned towards her and smiled. Sheik pulled her hand out of Pan, laughed and flew up into the air.
Pan dropped onto her knees as tears pooled out of her eyes. She was feeling the pain Trunks had felt. She was feeling all he had gone through when she had stabbed him with her own bare hands.
Gotenks caught her as she fell forward. He turned her over, blood covering his hand. She smiled up at his worried expression, but behind his eyes, she saw anger and hate. He brushed the hair out of her eyes. The rain drenched her body more. He hoped the cold didn't speed up the process of death. He could see that her breathing was laboured, and that she was losing a lot of blood. He picked up one of her hands and put it over the hole Sheik had caused. She winced.
"Apply pressure," he struggled to say.
He couldn't look at her anymore, he was going to explode. He leaned down and kissed her on the forehead. Love from an Uncle and love from a lover.
She watched as he stood up and looked at Sheik. She was smiling. Her work was almost done.
Gotenks let go of the power that was in him. A bright coloured aura surrounded him and a yell filled the air. Pan looked at SS4 Gotenks, his red hair and red body matching him perfectly.
Gotenks levitated up. Again, they were both equal in strength. He had to do the fatal attack, the one with his cost of life. He only hoped that when Sheik was dead that someone would bring Pan back to the part of the palace still intact and put her in a rejuvenation tank.
He began to fly away from where Pan was, hoping Sheik would follow. Again, she didn't follow. He growled. He only had five minutes left. He would have to do the fatal blow where Sheik was, but it meant putting Bra and Pan in danger.
He flew back to Sheik, who moved back a bit. Gotenks made his aura around him turn a blue colour. It swirled around him as if it was like a tornado. Sheik watched as his aura swirled around him even more until Gotenks wasn't visible. The swirl of blue started to show colours of gold and red. The rain just evaporated as it neared him. Sheik started to worry.
The whirlwind grew and grew as Gotenks' power rose. He could see clearly through the whirlwind at Sheik's expression. She had seen nothing yet. He yelled as the whirlwind subsided and a clear aura surrounded him. If Sheik looked at it when the light from the moon shone on it, it was a mixture of dazzling colours, the colours of the rainbow, like when the sun shines on fuel. Gotenks looked at Sheik and then released two tiny ki blasts that couldn't be seen by the naked eye, or felt through ki.
Sheik was dazed as something hit her and then immediately paralysed her. She looked to see the whirlwind back around Gotenks, but now it was even bigger.
"You're history," he said. She heard him. The storm was stopping, but it still rained.
Gotenks looked down to Bra who was still unconscious. He then looked to Pan. She was still alive, her eyes still open. She looked at Gotenks before slipping out of consciousness.
He had to hurry.
He released the energy.
The whirlwind spread from around him, got bigger, and bigger as he let his energy out. The whirlwind engulfed Sheik, but didn't hurt her. She opened her eyes to see Gotenks: head thrown back and yelling. The whirlwind swirled around faster and faster, getting bigger and bigger like a V5 tornado. The ground began to shake, dust going everywhere. Rocks were reduced to smithereens as they were pulled into the attack. Pan and Bra were tossed around. Sheik felt the whirlwind begin to rip her apart.
'I can still win this she' yelled in her head, 'Trunks is connected to me! This is a bad situation! I must connect myself fully to him again, control his body. He'll stop this attack and we'll rule the Universe.'
Sheik closed her eyes and felt for the bond between Trunks and herself. But it wasn't there.
She opened her eyes and gasped. Where was it? She growled before trying again. It didn't work; he wasn't connected to her anymore. But why?
She remembered what Pan had said:
"He won't die, I know that for a fact. You are the one in denial.""No," she whispered, "this isn't supposed to be happening!"
She tried to break free of her own paralysis, but failed. She realised that Trunks' bond to Pan had overpowered the bond that she had placed on him.
Gotenks yelled as the power was released. It was such pain to him, but he didn't care.
Pan, Bra; please be safe. Don't be hurt or dead from what I have caused; be alive, survive. Bulma, Mother, Vegeta, don't give up once this is over.'
He clenched his fists and threw his head back even more so that his whole body was arched. Suddenly the aura changed to a white colour, and it killed.
"Noooooooooooooooooo!" screamed Sheik as she was torn apart and into pieces as fine as dust.
The aura overtook Gotenks' body.
The whole whirlwind flashed brightly before it completely vanished, leaving no trace except for the damage caused.
It was over.
Bulma gasped as she felt her energy returning to her. It was pain. Nevertheless, she felt better. She sat up and gasped at the size of the spinning aura. She couldn't feel any ki's as the energy from it blocked her senses. Then it disappeared.
She stood up shakily, nearly falling over had it not been for her guard Naishow. She limped and stumbled as she walked forward to get a better view. She could see nothing but a huge cloud of dust. The rain did nothing to clear it. She tried to feel the ki's of the saiyans who had gone, but she felt nothing. They were either very hurt…or dead.
Naishow came up behind her.
"Get back," she said, not bothering to look behind her.
"But…"
"Stay back," she cried.
Naishow did as he was told.
"In fact," she said, turning to face them, "Everyone go back into the palace to the main Elite hall. Now; that's an order."
"But you need our protection, just in case the enemy is still alive," said a tall bald saiyan.
"Just fucking go! All of you. Do you feel Sheik's ki? No."
"But we don't feel the others either," said Naishow.
"I won't believe that none of them have survived," said Bulma, "if she is still alive…then she's won. No one can beat her if the strongest have gone, not even the best technology we have or I can make up. If she's alive, I'll surrender against her. At least I'll be with the ones I love…"
The Elite's looked at her before beginning to fly away.
"Make no communication to anyone until necessary," she called to their retreating forms.
She turned around and wrapped her arms around herself from the cold of the rain and the gentle breeze. She looked to her left to see the sky turning pink: the sun would be rising any moment.
She looked into the cloud of dust. There wasn't any movement. Tears began to fill her eyes, but she wouldn't cry, not until she knew the truth.
She gasped. There was some movement. She scanned her eyes over the dust, but saw no more. It must have been her imagination.
But then she saw it again. There was a clump of shadows moving towards her. It was the shadows of figures. Someone was alive. She tried to call for Vegeta through her bond with him, but she couldn't even begin as her head was in pain. She would just have to wait and see.
The shadow got closer and closer, nearly out of the dust. Bulma could hear her heart. She was full of anxiety.
She saw them.
On the left was Vegeta. He was limping, but his arm was around Bra's shoulder that was supporting him. Next to Bra was a bare chested Goten who had his hand over a deep cut in her side. Next to Goten was a bare chested Trunks, who was carrying Pan in his arms.
Bulma couldn't believe it. They had survived.
She ran to them. She was in pain in her leg, but she didn't care. She would never believe in fate again until it happened.
Vegeta looked up to see her coming. She had survived too. Bulma threw her arms around him before turning to her daughter. She put her hand on her face before latching herself out of Vegeta and standing in front of Goten. He smiled and she smiled back, but his smile turned to a frown as he glanced at Trunks. She then turned to Trunks who was looking at Pan. Bulma gasped.
"Is…is she alive?" she asked.
Trunks lifted his head to look at her.
"Just about…but if she doesn't go into a rejuvenation tank soon, she die from blood loss," he answered.
Bulma smiled.
"I'm so proud of you, all of you. We couldn't have beaten her if we hadn't worked together."
Goten frowned, "Who said we beat her?"
They all looked at him, "WHAT?"
He laughed, "Only joking!"
He rubbed the back of his head Son style.
And with that, they flew into the air to the part of the palace that was intact. The danger had gone, they had all survived. It taught them that it's always better to have friends rather than arguments.
But something was bugging Trunks. All he could think of was of a certain saying.
'Keep your friends close and your enemies even closer'
He shook his head to rid of the thought and looked to see Goten looking at his precious load. Trunks looked down at Pan. Her facial features were relaxed and he could see her chest rising with every raged breath. They would have to hurry. He looked to her wound that had granted her use of only one lung.
He sighed. He had promised her that she wouldn't get hurt, and she had; he only hoped she survived. He had one thing he still had to do. He had to ask her a few questions, questions Sheik had caused him to put to thought.
Why had Sheik shown him scenes of Pan when she was younger? Why had she said that he was connected to her? And most importantly, why had Sheik made up lies that Pan had wanted to kill him? He was going to ask her. She had been the centre of two of them. He didn't believe what Sheik had said true; he just wanted to make sure he wasn't going mad.
He felt Pan stir in his arms. He looked down to see her open her eyes and gaze at him before drifting back in unconsciousness.
----
Pan opened her eyes to see a blur looking down at her. She recognised the saiyan immediately. She smiled in her mind before drifting back in unconsciousness.
Kakarott looked into the glass ball as they flew away. They had survived. He turned around to she his son and his son's mate smiling at him. He still had one thing to do.
