When Pan was 14 her best friends did something that hurt her and scared her for life. Now 5 years later she's different, cold and heartless, catching the eye of their newest enemy.
§
Chapter Eight: Why Do They Have The Same Name?
§
Pan was in her chamber sitting in front of her vanity mirror, brushing her long ebony hair thinking about the events that occurred 24 hours ago.
§ FLASHBACK §
"Oh no. I'm Trunks Briefs Bulma's son, please come in."
§ END OF FLASHBACK §
AN: That was the shortest flash back I have ever
seen.
All night he stared at me with those crystal blue eyes. He looked at me as if he had seen me before.
"Trunks Briefs? Prince Trunks? They have the same names and unless my memory is failing me, they look a like too. Not perfect twins but close enough." Pan said thinking back to the dinner.
There was a knock on the door and Kagetsu stepped in.
"Pan dear, it's almost time. You must take your position above ground."
"I'll be right there Kagetsu, and Kagetsu?"
"Yes, Pan?"
"Is there a reason why Trunks Briefs and our Prince
Trunks have the same name and appearance?"
For a moment a look of fear crossed Kagetsu's face, and he was just thankful that
Pan could not see it as his face was hidden underneath his hood.
"I don't know what you're talking about." He said calmly.
"Kagetsu! Don't you lie to me!"
"Pan, my dear, we don't have time for this; this nonsense! The time is drawing near." Kagetsu said firmly.
§
The Z-Fighters had gathered at CC after hearing the
news the following night.
"So you're saying that the 'Parkers' you had dinner
with last night weren't the real Parkers? But what would someone gain form killing them?" Chi-Chi said.
"I don't know, the police asked me the same thing."
Bulma sighed.
"There was something cold and dark about that woman. I knew I felt it once before, as first I couldn't place it but now I'm sure
I felt that same energy when we fought Seri and Ryo." Vegeta spoke up.
"Your saying that young woman was Seri?" Trunks asked.
"No, she was much stronger than Seri. We didn't fight her that day."
"I don't like this, if what your saying is true, then the enemy could be anyone." Bulma shivered.
"We'll just have to be extremely careful from now on then." Goku said.
"Agreed."
§
11:55 PM, five minutes before Prince Trunks' men would attack their unsuspecting victims. There were at least two of his men following each person in Satan City; he had them out-numbered two to one and there was no way out.
§
In an abandoned warehouse, on dock 21, several people were having a conversation.
"So have you pinpointed the Z-Fighters location?"
"Yes, they have all gathered at Capsule Corp. my lord." Ryo said
"Good, go and make sure they don't leave the area until Pan has gathered all the energy needed." Trunks ordered.
"We're on it my Prince." Seri said.
Seri and Ryo turned and left the building.
"What am I going to do until its time?" Pan asked.
"You can wait here Pan, our men should return with the energy needed to send your power level soaring soon. Just think, you will have no equal in the world, you'll be stronger than a Super Sayain." Kagetsu said.
"Stronger than a Super Sayain huh? I like the sound of that."
"Yes with your new power we'll be able to rule the
world and destroy the Z-Fighters once and for all." Prince Trunks laughed.
§
12:00AM, screams of pain and agony were heard miles
around, it was the last sound that would ever be heard from Satan City.
12:01, unmoving bodies were everywhere, their bodies sucked dry of any
and all energy. They were all dead, man; woman, child, young, old, and even the newborn babies at Satan City Hospital were now laying lifeless in the Nursery.
12:05, hundreds of men and woman dressed in battle
armor stood outside of dock 21. The energy they had collected was sent off to Kagetsu, who collected it in the form of a ball. The energy was then transferred into Pan's ruby necklace that hung around her neck. And with that, the blood red ruby glowed an even darker, richer red color. The energy from the necklace surrounded Pan's body as another transformation took place.
There was a burst of energy that knocked everyone and everything in the area off their feet and into the wall.
When it was over Prince Trunks and Kagetsu gasped in shock at the new Pan.
Her form was slender and at the same time muscular, and curved in all the right places. Her clothes had changed to fit her new body. Pan now wore a
white button down T-Shirt; the first two buttons on the shirt were undone showing a considerable amount of cleavage. Her shorts were very short and rode low on
her hips. She no longer wore high heels; she was bare foot and floating above the ground. Her normal long ebony hair was spiky blonde and her eyes a deep
jade color. A furry object snaked around her hips as
she slowly floated down to the ground; Pan's tail had grown back!
§
12:10, the Z-Fighters stop their conversation and ran
outside.
"What's going on?" Bulma asked.
"It's so quiet but a second ago it sounded as if the whole city was crying out in pain." Trunks said.
"I was beginning to think I'd have to go in and get you." A feminine voice said from the shadows.
"Soon you'll be the ones crying out in pain." A masculine voice said.
"Who are you and what do you want?" Gohan asked.
"Isn't it obvious brat, its Seri and that Ryo punk from before." Vegeta pointed out.
"Ha, you're not as dumb as I thought you were after all Vegeta but all that won't save you from your downfall." Seri stepped out of the shadows followed by Ryo.
"Let's do this."
Ryo and Seri began to power up; a dark energy surrounded their bodies as their transformation took place. There was a burst of energy and the
Z-Fighters were sent flying back. When it was over
Seri and Ryo hovered above the Z-Fighters.
"What? That can't be possible! Look at them they're-"
"Sayains."
Indeed they were, Seri's once short ashen hair now
fell to her waist and her light blue eyes were now a deeper blue. She wore a dark blue body suit
with white gloves and boots. Ryo's long blue hair was tied back into a braid and his once midnight blue eyes were so dark they looked black. He wore a
suit similar to Seri's. What shocked the Z-Fighters the
most were the tails that were wrapped around their waists.
"This can't be good."
"At least it can't get any worst." Bulma mumbled.
At that very moment a portal opened up and three
mysterious figures stepped
forward.
"I hate to tell you this, but it just got worse." One
of the figures said.
"And who are you?"
"We are the new rulers of this world. I have been watching you for a long time waiting for a chance to claim this planet as my own. As I've watched
many try and fail, I realized I needed someone that
knew you inside and out, I needed one of your own." The figure stepped out of the shadows.
"Mirai Trunks?"
"No, but you're close. I'm Prince Trunks soon to be ruler of this planet."
"I wouldn't count on it, you creep." Bra said.
"Ha and who's going to stop us Bra, certainly not you."
"Allow me to introduce the woman who will be by my
side Princess-"
"Excuse my interruption my Prince, but I thought Ryo and I were going to destroy the Z-Fighters?" Seri said.
"There's been a change of plans Seri, you're out and
I'm in." The
'Princess' smiled wickedly.
"WHAT! No but you promised me I could-"
"Well I guess I lied."
"You tramp, how dare you-"
"How dare I what? You just can't shut your mouth can you?"
"No, I guess not."
"Well maybe I should shut it for you." The 'Princess'
cried sending a Ki blast at Seri.
"Are you crazy, I'm on your side." Seri cried jumping out of the way.
"My side? Don't lie to me. The only reason you're still with us is because I haven't killed you yet."
"She is expendable you know." A man in a dark clock said.
"Really, then I guess this is the end for you Seri, prepare yourself for a one way ticket to the next dimension!" The 'Princess' powered up a huge Ki blast and sent it flying straight for Seri, there was no way she could doge it.
"NOOOOOOO, I'll get you back for this Pan, I swear."
Seri cried and the
blast came crashing down on her.
"Pan?"
"Darn it, I was hoping to keep it a secret a bit longer." Princess Pan pouted.
