Couples: Trunks/Pan, Ryanna/Bardock, and Bra/Goten

Author's note: I decided to make the planet Vegeta-sei more like it was in the actual movie Bardock: the father of Goku To make it more compelling to the actual story line of DBZ. Through the first chapters the problems will be mostly revolved around Bardock, Ryanna, Pan and Trunks. The rest will fall in later.

Chapter 2: Ryanna's son, and the Prince

Ryanna led Pan through several corridors, the whole time explaining the rules, regulations, and codes. "Here's your room." She said opening one of the many doors in the corridor. "It's not exactly the ritz, but it has its privacy." To pan, it was the ritz. It had a huge bed, a small balcony terrace, and her own private bathroom with a tub you could practically swim in. The walls and bedding were royal blue and gold, the royal colors.

"Wow I'd love to see what you would call fancy!" Ryanna let out a small laugh as Pan flung herself onto the bed. "Can I stay here forever?"

"We'll see, for now all your stuff has already been put away. The dining hall is just down the corridor and all the way down to your left. If you need any help finding anything just ask me or another one of the guards." "

"Well where is your room?" Ryanna brushed back a loss strand casually.

"With Damien across the hall." Pan shot her head up from the pillow she was laying on.

"Who's Damien?" Ryanna turned to her and smiled almost sadly.

"He's my son." Pan gawked and stood up. "I would think Bardock would have already told you so much."

"Well no, but uh, I mean how old is he?"

She cocked her head from side to side. "About two earth years." Pan's mouth got wider.

"And you're how old? Twenty?"

"Now how rude of you to ask that... my age is of no importance i haven't seen it as a problem nor do I take the liberty of counting. However if you wanna be so bold I'm a year older than the Prince" Pan wanted to faint there and then, but her pride wouldn't let her. Is that what her grandpa Bardock meant by being worried about her? Ryanna began to gave her a 'what are you looking at' stare so Pan just shook it off and shrugged, "Anyway," Ryanna turned back towards the door. "Prince Trunks also has quarters near here, so I advise you to be prepared during mating season." Pan cocked a brow. Ryanna shook her head tiredly. "Never mind."After a few hours of sleep, Pan got up and ready for dinner. She dressed herself in some black spandex and armor that was given to her. She placed her thick raven hair up in a ponytail, and wrapped her tail nicely around her waist. Making her way out of her room she crossed the hall and knocked on Ryanna's door. Ryanna at the time had just finished getting on her own royal blue armor and was in the process of brushing her short, layered hair. When Pan knocked she put down her brush and opened her door.

"Hey Ryanna, care to show me to the dining hall? I'm starving!" Ryanna smiled and closed the door.

"Of course, but first I have to pick up my son from the nursery." Pan nodded and followed by Ryanna's side.As they walked down the long corridor Pan took notice that Ryanna got a lot of stares from anyone that passed them.

"Why do they all look at you like that? They look at you like you're the king about to chop off their head." Ryanna shrugged.

"I guess most of it is respect and fear. I'm the strongest female on this planet."

"Oh really?" Pan gave an interested look. This made Ryanna grin.

"Yep, and I love to rub it in Trunks' face too." Pan stalled for a minute.

"Who... Oh you mean the prince." Ryanna nodded.

"We are what you would call friends, or at least we used to be. Things have changed between the prince and I since the birth of my son. In fact, a lot of things have changed since then." Her eyes became narrowed a bit as she stared at a far away glance. "It mays ound weird but no matter how they look at me I never see respect anymore from people. Instead, I see pity." Pan gave her an odd look.

"Pity? What for?" Ryanna just waved her hand indicating she didn't want to talk about it. Pan looked at her feet. 'Why is this place so full of secrets?' Shaking off the question she went back to looking at the staring passers. Near the end of the corridor was a bog white room where all the babies of the royals and elites were kept. When they stopped by the big window Pan noticed Ryanna smile at one particular child. It laid in a pen and wiggled around and banging things against the wall of its glass cased pen. "I take it that's Damien?" Ryanna smiled and nodded. She walked into the room and was greeted by an elderly female saiyan.

"How are you today Miss Ryanna?"

"I've been better Simone." Simone was the head nurse for the nursery. She had pale brown hair that was slowly but surely turning grey, and angelic chocolate eyes. "I sure hope Damien has been behaving himself."

"Despite a few temper tantrums he's been a little angel. Though he must have missed his mum. He calls for you at night the poor thing." Ryanna smiled sadly.

"If it wasn't for my job I wouldn't have left for so long." Simone nodded and looked to the pen that Damien was in. His mother's voice had gotten his attention and he was now staring at Ryanna with puppy dog eyes. "Simone before I go I would like you to meet a friend of mine. This is Pan Son, Bardock's Granddaughter, and Goten's sister." Pan bowed politely to the older woman.

"It's a pleasure to meet you Miss Simone."

"Pleasure is all mine young one, so tell me, is your grandfather still as handsome as ever? I haven't seen him in the longest time." Pan smiled and let out a pure hearted laugh.

"Yes he is." Simone let a smirk graze her lips.

"That must be good news to you, Miss Ryanna." Ryanna rolled her eyes and waves her hand.

"He's just a friend." Simone laughed heartily.

"A friend who is extremely handsome, brave, and who captures your young heart." Pan laughed at the face Ryanna made. "Why are you laughing? He's your grandfather." Pan shrugged and smiled perkily. Ryanna sighed and picked up Damien who was practically begging for her attention. With a frown on her face she left the room. Pan waved good-bye to Simone and followed the huffy mother.

Meanwhile

Prince Trunks was sparking up a conversation with Bardock and Goten. The young prince was very handsome and well built. He had diamond blue eyes; soft lavender hair that went to the top of his ears and a charming smile that all the female saiyans swooned for. "So I heard your granddaughter has finally arrived."

"Yes, a very pure hearted young woman she is too. Powerful as well, I have had a battle with her before when I went to visit my son on planet Earth."

"She sounds like my kind of saiyan." The sound of a door opening interrupted their conversation. Ryanna, along with Pan and her son, walked into the room talking about whatnot things.

"Ah there she is." Trunks stared taken aback by the young raven-haired beauty as she cooed the baby in Ryanna's arms. He smiled and watched every curve of her body, and every move of her muscles. As Pan turned to meet his gaze both seemed to stare in a heated endless delight.

In the meantime Bardock looked at Ryanna and her son. As they too met at a gaze, Bardock could feel his legs walk over to her. "And how are you feeling Miss Ryanna?"

"It's just Ryanna, Bardock. I don't need any formalities from you." Her green eyes lost themselves in his hard, but loving gaze for a small moment until she averted them to the ground. "And I'm fine thank you." Bardock gave her a small smile, and gently rubbed the baby's cheek with his knuckle. Pan managed to break her stare with the prince and bowed.

"It's a great pleasure to finally meet you my prince." Trunks gave her a smile.

"As it is you, milady." He took her hand and kissed he tips of her fingers. "Bardock has told me so many good things about you, but he never told me you were beautiful." Pan blushed slightly. Trunks ushered her into a chair and sat next to her. Ryanna looked at this and smirked. It seemed like Pan and Trunks immediately hit it off. Damien wiggled in her arms and she snapped back into Bardock's stare.

"What are you looking at Bardock?" He folded his arms.

"You." He simply stated. Ryanna furrowed her eyebrows and looked away from him. She sat down on the other side of Pan, keeping Damien on her lap. Bardock sighed, uncrossing his arms, and sat across the table from Ryanna. As soon as the King and Queen came into the room, dinner began. Most of the time Trunks and Pan stayed in Conversation with each other. Both of them seemed to enjoy each other's company. In the mean time Ryanna stayed relatively quiet as she always had been for the past two years. She did not like the way Bardock kept looking up from his plate to stare at her, so she simply didn't say much at all.Queen Bulma however, couldn't tolerate it.

"I see you have your son with you Ryanna." At the mention of her name Ryanna looked up.

"Huh? Oh yes Your Majesty, I picked him up from Simone before I came here."

"Well you usually leave him with Simone." Ryanna smiled.

"I have been gone for two weeks Your Majesty, I wanted to see my son for I haven't been able to hold him in so long." Bulma smiled and watched as Ryanna fed Damien some smashed food from her plate. Bardock also watched. He hated to admit it but everyone was right. He had grown fond of the young woman, and had been fascinated by her for an extensive amount of time. Seeing her with her child brought out another side of Ryanna that made him want to love her more. It was the side that reminded him of the last bearer of his children, Sorika. Even after his children were born he did not mate with her. He said that what they had was only lust, not what he wanted in a mate. It wasn't until she died that he wished he had mated with her. He was too foolish to have thought differently of the woman. Then Ryanna joined the Royal Elites, amd in an instant he felt that same love again. Pan was observant of the tension in the room. She noticed her grandfather's distant stare and Ryanna's troubled look.

"Hey, how about we spar tomorrow?" Pan turned her attention back to the prince and smiled.

"That sounds great!"
