Chapter 24: Pan Against Shelia!
"BEGIN!" the ref shouted out. Shelia lunged forward at Pan. Pan held her stance strong as her opponent came closer. She was then knocked off balance when Shelia's fists hit Pan's forearms. Pan stumbles back and then Shelia kicked her in her stomach making her body look like a sideways V. She then thrusted her fist upward into her jaw straightening her body out. Pan hit the ground with a bruise forming underneath her chin. She wiped a little bit of saliva that had escaped her mouth when the punch hit. Pan stood up on her feet.
"You're really pathetic… I can't believe you took the place of Son Taylor." Shelia said crossing her arms.
"I haven't even gotten started yet." Pan announced. Shelia smirked and then let out a chuckle of laughter.
"Doubt it!" she shouted.
"I might not be as strong as my Papa, Grandpa, Uncle Goten or Auntie Taylor, but I'm strong enough to bet you!" Pan shouted as she lunged forward. Shelia begun to leap backwards every time Pan threw a punch. Then Shelia hovered herself up into the air and spun and kicked her in the face. Pan's head was jerked to the right. Then Shelia took her fist and slammed it into her stomach. Pan's body made another sideways V. But this time, Shelia called a bunch of ki to her hand blasting her away. Pan rolled backwards on the tile floor and stopped on her back.
Pan huffed and puffed as blood rushed out of her mouth from being hit in her stomach twice and once in the face. She felt like her stomach was torn open like Taylor's was in the elimination rounds. Pan sat up slightly, just enough to see her stomach to see it was only wounded by a burn mark. She inherited the tough body from her father and the attitude from her mother. Either way you go with Pan she was a tough cookie to bite into.
Shelia walked over to Pan to the point where she had her feet on either side of Pan standing over her stomach. Pan looked up at her as Shelia reached down for her throat. But then Pan brought up her arms smacking her hands and then she disappeared. Shelia blinked as she looked around for her opponent. Finally, Pan reappeared above Shelia.
"HI-YA!" Pan tucked her right leg underneath her as she slammed her left foot into the side of Shelia's face tossing her to the tile floor of the ring. Shelia skids across the tile floor making a slight gash in the concrete. She then pulled her body up and out of the concrete with a gigantic scratch mark on the side of her face. Blood ran from separate cuts on her scratch but it all dripped to the same place, it dripped to her shirt staining it with crimson blood. Pan hovered herself to the ground as Shelia lightly placed her fingers on the scratch mark. She winced slightly from touching the rough and bleeding side of her face. Shelia pulled her hand away and looked at her fingers to see her dark crimson blood. She looked up at Pan and clenched her fist.
"You'll pay from ruining my beautiful face!" Shelia shouted. Pan let out a slight laugh.
"You beautiful… hah!" Pan shouted out nearly falling in hysterics. Shelia let out a low growl.
"Don't get to cocky my dear." Shelia said with a slight growl in her voice. Pan looked at Shelia to see how angry she was. Maybe Pan should take it down a level? But then Pan wouldn't be Pan if she did.
Out of nowhere Shelia disappeared and reappeared inches away from Pan's face. Pan's eyes widened as she stumbled back from Shelia being to close. Shelia lifted up her hand having her pointer finger and ring finger pointing at her with her thumb out. Her other two fingers here bent straight out to the floor. She tilted her hand up to let Pan see a purple ki beam taking its form. Pan's eyes widened as she planted her feet into the ground ready for the attack. The power from her ki beam that she held in her hand were pushed up slightly enough still keeping the hand in the shape it was in.
She then launched the attack and Pan was ready. Pan crossed her forearms in front of her face since that's where she assumed the attack was going, but then… it took a different course. She lowered her arms to see that the ki beam went right over her head. Pan didn't quite get it, but she took that as a miss.
"Ha! You missed!" Pan said with a smile on her face.
"Not… quite." Shelia stated with a smirk on the left side of her mouth. Then she swiped her hand through the air and the ki beam came back around.
"LOOK OUT PAN!" she heard her father cry out. Pan turned around slowly only to see the attack was coming back and it hit its target. Pan was knocked to the floor at Shelia's feet. Shelia quickly bent down and grabbed a hold of her throat. She lifted her into the air and then spun on her right foot and slammed her into the tile floor. Pan's mouth fell open as she begun to gag. Shelia smirked as she watched Pan struggled to breathe and get her hand off of her neck but her attempt didn't work. Shelia smirked and gripped harder on her throat. Pan closed her eyes tightly as she grabbed onto Shelia's wrist. Shelia pushed Pan deeper and deeper into the ground. As she gripped her throat tightly and Pan continued to gag.
Shelia chuckled and soon her chuckle turned into an evil laughter. Pan's eyes slowly started to close. Shelia gripped harder and harder till then Pan's grip around her wrist became lose and fell. It only took 3 minutes to strangle someone and Shelia held onto Pan's neck for 2 minutes and 30 seconds.
'Only 30 more seconds…' Shelia thought, 'and she'll be dead'
"PAN! PAN GET UP! YOU CAN BEAT HER!" screamed her weak father from the side lines.
"PAN! GET ON YOUR FEET!" Goten shouted holding his fist in the air.
"Come on Pan…" Goku said softly watching his granddaughter sink into the concrete of the tile floor.
Pan heard all of the voices of her family but they were very faint. They images of her Father, Mother, Grandma, Grandpa, Gramps, Uncle Goten, Auntie Taylor, Trunks, and all of her friends appeared in front of her. And then there was the image of earth blowing up.
'No. I can't lose now. If I do it'll be my fault that Earth blew up and I can't live with that. I have to beat Shelia! I have to! She can't just choke me to death without a fight!'
Suddenly, Pan grabbed onto Shelia's wrists extremely tight. Shelia's eyes widened as she looked at her. Pan's eyes shot open as she lifted her hand off of her neck. Pan lifted Shelia up in the air as she stood up. She then swung her downward as she thrown her own body into the air.
"HI-YA!" Pan shouted as Shelia was slammed into the ground. Pan pushed herself up and she landed on the ground. Shelia sat up in her small little crater. "You're not going to choke me to death without a fight!" Pan shouted. Shelia smirked as she stood upright.
"Alright, have it your way." She said wiping off some dirt off of her shoulders. Pan held her fists up in front of her face as she Shelia lunged forward.
Pan leapt upward as Shelia's foot went into the ground from missing her. Pan placed her hands onto her Shelia's shoulders. She gripped tightly and then spun her around and around and then again slammed her into the ring. Pan hovered upward slightly as she pulled her hands to her side getting into the Kamehameha Stance.
"KA…ME…HA…ME…HAAA!" Pan through her hands forward as the attack escaped her hands and hit Shelia. There was no explosion and there was no scream in pain. In fact, the Kamehameha Wave didn't even touch Shelia. Shelia was sitting up with her finger resting on the attack holding it back. Pan's eyes widened as she noticed at what Shelia was doing. Pan added more energy to the attack making it larger but Shelia still held it back. Then she removed her finger and the ki beam stayed in place. She swiped her hand through the air smacking the attack back towards Pan. "AAAH!" Pan screamed as the attack hit. Her arms her thrown outward by her side. She tossed her head back closing her eyes tightly as the attack continued to give her pain.
Pan dropped to the tile floor lifeless. Her clothes her dusty and no slightly ripped at the edges. Her moth hung open slightly showing a sliver of her white teeth. Her fingers curled but not much as her arms laid by her side outward on the tile floor. Shelia walked up to Pan's side and tapped her side lightly with her foot as she kept her hands on her hips. She smirked doing so.
"Pathetic Saiyan!" she shouted as she gave her one last kick. Pan's body rolled a couple of times now stopped on her stomach with one hand above her head resting on the tile floor with her head facing the right. Shelia walked over to her keeping her hands on her hips. She reached down pulling Pan's bandanna off of her head and sticking it into her pocket. She looked at Pan's hair as the tips slightly rested on the floor. She smirked as she placed her foot onto her head. "You Saiyans are nothing but weaklings! One of them was killed and now, this little one shall die as well." Shelia begun to press her body weight onto Pan's head.
"PAAAAAAAN!" Gohan called out. He rushed to the ring about to climb on when Piccolo and Goten grabbed onto him stopping him.
"No! Don't Bro! You'll cause Pan the match!" Goten shouted trying to keep him back.
"She's going to die!" Gohan called out again trying to rip away from Piccolo and Goten.
"No she's not Gohan! Pan's strong!" Piccolo shouted struggling to hold onto Pan's father. Shelia looked over at Gohan to see him struggling.
"I take it that you are the father of this girl." Shelia said to Gohan. Gohan stopped struggling as everyone looked at Shelia as she took her hands off of her hips and folded them on her chest. Gohan ripped away his arms from Piccolo and Goten.
"I am!" Gohan shouted. "Get your foot off of my daughter's head!" Gohan shouted at her.
Shelia unfolded her arms, "you raises a pathetic fighter you know." Shelia said to him as she looked at Pan's lifeless body. "She didn't even have a chance against me."
"My daughter was raised well! And she'll kill you once she gets up!" Gohan shouted. Shelia's smirk turned into an evil one.
"Oh but I'm sorry, your daughter will never get up again!" Shelia begun to press her body weight onto Pan's head again. Gohan's eyes widened and then Piccolo and Goten grabbed onto him again. Pan's eyes tightly closed as Shelia pressed on her head. Pan's mouth dropped open like she was going to scream.
"PAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!"
