Chapter 4: Protecting
After Pan, Bra and Marron had helped their new mentors from the icy cold water they poured onto to them, it was time for dinner. It was a Son's favorite time of night! There was food spread out along the table, more than enough for the people in the house, but there was a house full of martial artists, and that meant there was definitely going to be a big feast. After all, fighters need to keep eating (my friends and I do that all the time! We go into Raley's, which is next door, and buy hella food! We are such pigs, but I am an assistant instructor. I learned that, when you take martial arts, you eat a lot!).
Unfortunately, Pan, Bra and Marron had to keep their anger in check when Trunks, Goten and Ubuu were invited to dinner. It's not that they totally despised the idea (okay, they did, but the boys weren't going to get the satisfaction to know that), and had to listen to how the summer was going.
The schedule went:
Monday: Balance and Speed Training Tuesday: Weapons Practice Wednesday: History of all Major Teams + Compare/Contrast Strengths and Weaknesses Thursday: Conditioning (to Toughen up the Body's Bones and Muscles) Friday: Meditation and Sparring Saturday and Sunday: Free Day (except when there are Tournaments)
The young girls had to control themselves from strangling their Master Instructors. It took everything. They were really starting to annoy them. It was hard to hear about training when the whole summer was about to be wasted. Even Pan was trying not to get depressed.
When dinner was over the three girls practically pushed their Mentors out the door, and sighed with relief. When they knew they had left, the three girls went outside to retrieve their things out by the tree in the back.
They decided to stay in the training hall of the house. Pan's room was too small to accommodate all three of them. Dumping their stuff into the dojo, Pan, Bra and Marron went upstairs to get ready for bed. They quickly changed, brushed their teeth and hair then to bid Marron's and Bra's parents, before going to bed.
Tomorrow was the tournament's last match-ups for the finalist teams. They need to sleep to have enough energy to battle. This was the last tournament they would be in for a while. They knew they were going to be competing in a few more weeks, but it would be after many days of training and pain. They weren't looking forward to that, but they wanted to become stronger. They NEEDED to become stronger. To prove to all they were more than pretty faces.
Falling into a dreamless slumber, the girls slept uneasily. Was fighting more going to gain them new respect? Not knowing the answers, the girls knew it would unfold before them soon...
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Pan, Bra and Marron were sleeping soundly in the Son family's dojo. Although two of them were awake, one remained paralyzed within her sleep.
One was doing her early morning stretches. Sitting on the floor, her legs were spread open, switching from side-to-side. Her head going from knee one knee to the other. While the other girl was practicing her spinning kicks. She repeatedly did butterfly kicks, over and over, never stopping. But when she did, she was stumbling around the dojo floor like a drunkard, making the other girl laugh at her when she fell face forward into her own sleeping bag.
Videl soon came into the training hall to wake up the three girls. She was surprised to find one of them still in bed. Usually they all woke up and decide to do early morning stretches.
Walking to the only occupied sleeping bag, Videl huffed annoyed. This was just so much like her daughter...
Pan's hair had spilled messily against her pillow. Her body was laid on her back, but her limbs were everywhere. One arm was by her head, and the other was off to the side. While her legs looked like they had been broken by the way they were twisted and bent around. Her mouth wide open, revealing a small trail of drool that led to her pillow.
Pan's mother sighed and began to shake her daughter awake.
"Pan, sweetie. Wake up. You have your championship match today," she whispered to her dead weight daughter.
Pan just grumbled and turned onto her left side. She was in no mood to wake up and start training.
Knowing her daughter, she did the only thing that would ever get her up...
"PAN, WAKE UP!!!! THE HOUSE IS ON FIRE, AND WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!!!! AAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!" her mother yelled in a mock worried voice.
Pan immediately shot up from her sleeping bag, her eyes frantically searching for any signs of ruby blaze. When she saw her mother and her friends, they were rolling around in laughter, warm tears stinging their eyes. When they saw Pan's horrified face, it was enough to even make Vegeta chuckle. It was hilarious! But, they knew Pan wouldn't be one to appreciate such a humorous event. She hated laughing if it was at her expense.
"Not funny," she murmured, her tone more than a little peeved. Her hair was in disarray, and her face was grumpy. Her lips formed a small frown. She was sitting up, and she looked like someone had played a practical joke on her. Anyone would have chortled at her confused and pissed state. It was just so amusing!
"Sorry, sweetie," Videl giggled, trying to hold back another round of laughter. Bra had finally been able to stand up and was now laughing quietly to herself. While Marron was on the ground, trying to regain her breath. She was having the hardest time trying to get over it. Seeing Pan look so scared was rare, and it was a first for her.
"Whatever," Pan muttered with an annoyed voice, and she climbed out of her bag. More sleep was much to be desired, but she knew there was a match today. It was already nine and the semi-finals were at ten. They needed to be there early to give their statements to the press.
Pan had left, and then two snickering girls followed her. They had quickly brushed their teeth, washed their face, brushed their hair and changed into each of their infamous competition gi.
Bra's gi was a sleek turquoise blue. It matched her hair and eyes perfectly, and it was tight around her upper body. It showed off her nice bust, and her legs were exposed slightly because of her knee-high pants. They were tanned to a golden shine, and trimmed of any and all fat. She could easily make any man howl, and make every girl glow in envy.
Marron's was a hot pink (big surprise ^___-) and showed quite a bit of cleavage. It was like a small tank top and showed off her slender form. Her shorts were just barely decent, just mid-thigh, showing off her sixteen- year-old body proudly. All eyes would surely be looking at her nicely shaped legs.
While Pan's gi was a mix of black and orange (sorry! I like these two colors for Pan. I was thinking green, because I like green, but then her hair and bandana came into play. So, I mixed them). Her orange top was similar to a guys' tank top. It was baggy, but it hugged her a bit more snugly, showing off her young upper body and her good bust. Her black pants remained loose around her legs; but you could tell that, despite its looseness, they were a strong.
They ran downstairs, where Pan's parents were waiting. They all drove in the car for about 15 minutes. They were listening to the radio. One of their favorite songs came on. They were singing happily when the car came to a stop.
Piling out of the car, they tried to dodge the press. Reporters, who wanted to know what they thought about the tournament and what they thought of the final match-ups, soon surrounded the three girls. They quickly replied no comment. The girls were in no mood to talk.
Pan was starting her stretched, while Bra and Marron were working on a few bags they found in the few training rooms that the teams were divided in.
They were soon called up for the semi-finals match. The last four teams were divided like this:
Silver Dragons Vs. Emerald Tigers
Ruby Lions Vs. Sapphire Serpents
Their team was known as the Silver Dragons. They knew that they were going to terminate the competition. It was pretty pointless to them, but they had a few hundred fans to please. After all, they needed to keep up with the other competition or they might not be able to keep up with the publicity everyone's getting.
"Alright guys! Let's do this!" Marron cheered, "Adobo on three! One, two, three!"
"ADOBO!!!" they yelled (sorry guys! In the Philippines, that's a type of chicken or beef or something. It's hella good!!! My friends and I say that before a competition. [But I don't spar. I like kata and weapons.] If we're in the mood for adobo, Chinese food or even the word "lose" will do. That becomes our magic word for the day! We're such losers, but that's cool! That's also my strange penname. I love being Pinai. You have such a cool vocabulary!).
They walked out onto the center ring, their heads held high. Smirks graced their pretty faces. They reached the center of the ring and bowed to the spectators. You could hear the cheers from all the people in the audience. It was as plain as day that the crowd was really rooting for them. Well, aside from a few haters, but that was normal. Not everyone in the world will like you.
The girls were so busy trying to please their fans; that they never noticed a box room above the stands. There was a one-way kind of glass concealing it. You would just see the reflection of the outside light.
Within the room, though, were many rich folks placing bets on the amateur teams. They were all in their tuxedos, dressed like it was a party. There were also many women in beautiful dresses, not paying attention to the center ring. The women were constantly trying to flirt with the many handsome martial arts teams within the room. They were there to scope out new recruits and the new competition that would soon grace the ring in a few years.
One team stood out among them. Surrounded by a sea of beauties, these three smiled flirtatiously, but they said nothing. Many tried to strike up a conversation, but it was fruitless. The boys' attention was on the fight that had begun.
"I bet on the Emerald Tigers," a fat rich man said, "Those little girly- girls won't know what hit them. They might as well forfeit now."
A few other men laughed along with him. They had to agree. What kind of girls could beat one of the strongest teams in the beginners' league?
Hearing the bet, Trunks, Goten and Ubuu scowled. They already predicted what was going to happen in the match, and they knew that those men were wrong. And besides, they weren't going to diss their students. Not now, not ever.
"Well, then. I bet on the Silver Dragons as the victors," Trunks said, stepping forward, towards the men who obviously knew nothing of fighting. They had no right to judge his pupils. Goten and Ubuu soon followed him. They had to protect their students' name. They were great fighters, whether anyone wanted to believe him or not.
"Why, boy? Those girls are nothing but a waste of time. They probably cried their way through the preliminaries," the older man laughed, and his fellow colleagues joined him.
Trunks glared at their insubordination and was about to reply, when another voice interrupted...
"Well that's not very nice," the voice said with a slight growl.
The entire room turned towards the sound of the voice...
It was...
