Chapter 10: A secret let loose

Pan and Trunks pushed through the crowd that had formed around the gravity room. They looked through the big red window and watched as Ryanna threw Bardock's body across the room. Ryanna snarled and waited for Bardock to get to his feet. As soon as he did he was hit square in the jaw. "Geeze angel, no need to kill me." "Oh I ain't gonna kill yah, I'm just gonna knock you around a bit." Powering up more her now golden blond hair blew rapidly as her power increased. She sent a roundhouse kick at his head barely touching him. Bardock blocked her attacks the best he could. "Calm down!" "CALM DOWN! YOU JUST EMBARRASSED ME IN FRONT OF ALMOST HALF OF THE ROYAL ELITES AND NOW YOU'RE TELLING ME TO CALM DOWN!"

The two bickered for a long time in a heated battle. Outside everyone was watching. Even King Vegeta got a look at the action. "Where's popcorn when you need it?" Trunks cocked an eyebrow at his father. "Don't ask brat." Shrugging Trunks turned his head back at the window. "This is bad, shouldn't we stop them?" "What, and break up a good fight? I've been waiting for this moment when they would finally go at each other's throats and you wanna ruin it?" Pan bit her lip. She knew why Ryanna was doing this. She was the only one, but what can she do to stop it?" The ground shook slightly as the power of the two fighters grew stronger. "I feel so helpless." Pan whispered hoping no one would hear.

Bardock was on his hands and knees breathing heavily. Ryanna stood only a few feet away from him very sweaty and torn. "I've had... enough of... this game Bardock. What is it gonna take to make you leave me alone?" Bardock staggered to his feet and looked her straight in the eyes. "Nothing, because I will never leave you." Ryanna's frown deepened. "You and I may be different. You and I may be complete opposites. And you and I may have no business being with each other at all. But my dreams do not lie. I foresaw the defeat of Freeza. I foresaw the return of our planet and king. I foresaw many miraculous things but you angel..." He walked up to her and placed a hand on her face. "You were the most wonderful vision I ever saw. I saw your beautiful eyes looking into mine. I saw the frail strands of your hair spread across my chest." He placed his forefinger on her lips. "I saw your lips placed on to mine."

His finger felt her lip tremble and her breath quicken. "You were an angel sent to me from the heavens. That is why i will forever call you angel." Ryanna's lip stopped trembling and turned into a frown. With a swift move she landed a solid punch in his face. Trunks winced. "Ouch that had to hurt." "Trunks we have to stop this! I can't even hear what they're saying." "Those moves though tell me that Bardock is trying to seduce her." Pan frowned and turned to the elite that said that. She walked over to him and punched him hard sending him to his knees. "What do you know BAKA!" Vegeta and Trunks smirked and said in unison. "What a woman." Meanwhile back in the gravity room Bardock retaliated from the violent blow. "Okay I admit I didn't expect that reaction." "Why, you've been getting them from me all the time. Am I the only one of us that can see why we can't be together?"

"What do you mean can't? It doesn't matter how far apart we are in age or anything. What matters is that we love each other." Ryanna's breath quickened again. He did not just say the "L" word. "No, that's just the reason why we can't be together. Love is the reason we can't be together." "You are afraid of love aren't you?" Ryanna didn't say anything. "Ever since your raping incident you've been afraid." Ryanna turned sharply at him. "What do you know? You weren't there." "I want to help! I want to kill the bastard for doing this to you!" "Trunks is not a bastard!" Ryanna gasped and clinched her hands over her mouth. Bardock stood there numbly. "Bardock I," Ryanna's eyes grew teary. "I'm so sorry." She fell to her knees and began to whimper.

The people outside were shocked. The toughest woman on the planet was on her knees practically sobbing. "What happened? What did they say?" They watched on as Bardock knelt down before her and held her as she wept. Pan took this time to open the room and run at her friend's side. "Ryanna what's wrong?" Ryanna didn't say anything but just wept. Bardock picked her up and carried her out of the gravity room. Pan's eyes began shedding tears of their own. Trunks saw this and ran to her side. "I've never seen her like this. She's so sad." "She's so alone Trunks. She doesn't no where to go for help. She's lost." Trunks held Pan as the rest of the room grew quiet. Faint sobs could be heard down the hallway. Ryanna had let out her secret to one man. This mistake could ruin her life for good.

Uh-oh! Bardock knows! Will he tell? who knows? find out in the next chapter!
