Chapter 11- Sandstorm
The two ships landed on planet Pinesand. The search is on. Since it was a desert planet they found themselves taking a lot of breaks, only to realize that the more breaks they take the better for the other team to find the dragonball. It was the day that kills them, for the DB hunters they had no choice but had to break since it was so hot. While the demons takes theirs at night cause the heat wears them down that by nightfall they barely have any energy to go on. Regardless of the situation they continued on their quest though it has been four days since they landed. They start coming to each other favor once they spotted each other.
"It's them so what do we do now?" asked Goten wiping the sweat on his forehead "Obviously they have a robot that can also search for dragonballs. If we're smart it might be if we're to split up." Pan suggests
"That way we can cover more ground." Kosan finishes "Got ya so who does what?" asked Ryan "I think that Tek and I go on and find the dragonball because I think they might split up as well. So you got whoever going with their robot." Seeing the results Ryan pulls his lusted smirk "Well I'm in luck." Kosan rolls his eyes and turns around to leave with Tek "Just remember your job got it."
"So everyone got it right?" Pan assuring everyone "Humph." the guys nods in agreement "Good now lets move out." she commands
With that everyone's plan was set. Kosan left with Tek with Goku and Goten following them and Trunks and Pan left Giru with Ryan following. They all went separate directions to find the dragonballs at the same time trying to lose the ones that is following them. Minutes later Goku and Goten found themselves caught in the hands of a giant snake. Kosan fires at the snakes and free them. The three power up and fires a Kamehameha wave and Seek Cannon at it. At the moment things went well; before they could do anything the guys soon discover that the snake had friends.
Meanwhile Trunks, Giru, and Pan knew they were being followed so they zigzag whatever they go in order to tried to loose them but Ryan was able to keep up. Until the ground was shaking and something popped up and grab Ryan as he scream in pain. The others saw this and determining should they save him or let him suffer, but they finally came to their senses and help out. In time they see him in the hands of the scorpion and was near death hands. Trunks and Pan powers up and rush into Ryan's rescue as Trunks pull the craw apart for Pan to retrieve Ryan out of harms way.
"You ok." asked Pan, pulling him out of danger "Yeah man that bastard sure knows how to squeezes." Ryan replies. Just then Trunks teleports high in the sky to finish the scorpion off with a Finish Buster and flies towards them. Grabbing Ryan by the collar Trunks threatens "Look you follow us again and something like that will happen to you got it." Looking at him as if he's a fool, Ryan smirk "Understood."
Suddenly sandstorms pass by. They barely had any sight through this storm; unexpectedly something grabs Trunks pulling him underground. Giru and Pan extremely panic and furiously tries to Trunks, only to see the scorpion trying to bite his leg off.
"HOLY SHIT!" Pan and Ryan cries
Meanwhile the others still struggle against the army of snakes. Tek was staying out of the way, Goten was flying all over the place trying to dodged their attacks, Goku and Kosan keeps shooting them but more comes as they do so. Then a storm picks up only to matters worst. They could barely see anything and the snakes took a huge advantage of that. The storm blinded Goten eyesleaving him to receive more damage from the storm than the snakes. Goku use his ki senses to fight but the sand was getting to him, soon his plan was beginning to backfire and the storm was getting into his eyes as well.Kosan was fighting blankly only to find himself wasting energy.
"This isn't going to work. We are just wasting energy and the storm is just making things worse." Goku informs "I didn't want to do this but seeing how I don't have an option. Goku and Goten, interact your minds with mine quickly." Kosan orders "Why should we trust a thing you say?" Goten question "Because The both of you are and if it was just us fighting I would take this advantage to defeat you badly. Futhermore I'm nothing like Ryan and is your only hope of saving us."
The two saiyans thought about and found he was right if it came between him and Ryan they would've choose him. They are both blind due the storm and found they have no other option. "Alright you win but this doesn't change anything." said Goku firmly "Whatever just interact your mind to me."Goku and Goten jumps behind Kosanas hecalls out his attack"Now TIME STOP!" yells Kosan.
Everything in time has stop except them to Goku and Goten's surprise. "Did you do that?" asked Goten " I cannot tell too much, but I can tell you this though. I've earn this ability from a warrior who had it years ago. Since I won it, he gave me the ability to control time." Kosan explains "Sweet!" Goten turns his attention to the still snakes. "Now things should be a whole easier." "Time to kick some ass!" said Kosan. Goku and Goten look at Kosan and laugh then race to takedown the snakes before Kosan set everything to motion again.
After everything is to motion again, Trunks screams in pain. As Pan tries to fire the scorpion to save Trunks, it will just turn to another direction everytime she tries her assult. Pan looks down surprise to see Ryan hasn't left them yet, then again is probably staying for her.
"You know I would love it if you helped!" Pan yells at him "But Pan with him out of the way I can finally have you." joked Ryan, in a sarcastic tone "Listen fool, it would make me very unhappy if Trunks dies. You want me happy right then help and maybe I'll reward you." regretting that statement but what else can she do? Trunks need help andg randpa & uncle Goten are busy searching for the dragonball. They are so going to kill me if they find out about this she thought. Giving her that devious look he made her promise that deal which she reluctantly agrees.
Feeling confident he takes off and performs his favorite move Five Stars. The attack had the scorpion lose his hold to Trunks and revert his attention to Ryan again. The scorpion strikes at Ryan, but he keeps dodging them with his spite speed. Trunksis too injured to even stand and despite his protest Pan insists to help Ryan. Together they combine their attacks and destroy the scorpion. Soon enough Giru comes back with a dragonball in hand and very unexpectedly Ryan let them have it because he wants to have a fair fight for it.
"Ok that was bizarre." said Trunks, when Ryan was distance away "Yeah but it doesn't matter we the dragonball so that is 2 we have now." reply Pan, helping him up and flies off back to ship since she sense Goku & Goten's chi there. "C'mon lets get back Grandpa and Goten and get off this rigid planet." "Yeah your right, but they won't believe us once they heard news of Ryan." They laughed hysterically. "However I do not trust that son of bitch. There is no way he would've wanted to save me obviously Pan made some deal with him just so he can. I'll ask her later and this just mean that I must keep an eye her especially with him and Kosan around searching for the dragonballs". Trunks thought
Meanwhile Ryan returns to the ship and waited upon Kosan's arrival. Hour later he arrives and hopes that Ryan have the dragonball but up to his surprise he doesn't. As a result after listening to his explanation…
"You're a fool you know that. And let me guess you did it because you supposedly love her. Dude get this though your thick shull she doesn't have the hots for you at all! She only uses you to get what she wanted. DON'T YOU GET THAT?" Kosan scream in anger. Holding him down before he destroys anything "Don't worry everything is coming into place. She made a promise that she'll reward me for saving purple-head and trust me it is a promise that I will make her keep." said Ryan. Sternly "You're sound so sick that is not even funny anymore." "Whatever now c'mon lets find the next dragonball." "I know you know the truth, she'll never take you as her mate because she is bound to another Ryan. This obsession isn't good it will only get you kill, I hope you can get over her before we have to go that extent my friend." Kosan thought.He and Ryan blast off into space and search for the next dragonball.
Meanwhile with the DB hunters in space, Goten is napping, Goku is training in the GR, and Giru is in the control room. Trunks and Pan were in his room as Pan is tending his wounds.
"Feeling any better?" "A little better now that we have the dragonball and you being safe and all. But tell me Pan, what did you say to him? I know that he wouldn't bother saving me, so what 's the deal?" At that moment Pan honestly didn't know what to say to him and regretting to reveal it to him she lies "I just said if was Kosan he would so he did." Trunks raise his eyebrow "Should I actually buy that?" "Trunks can we please get off the subject just be glad that you're still alive and if Ryan didn't insist you would've been dead." "Alright but this doesn't change a bit of how I feel about the guy." Pan pulls him into embrace "I don't expect you to. You get some rest ok and call me, grandpa, Goten, or Giru if you need anything ok." "K. Pan thank you for being a great friend. You sure do sound like my mother when you are acting soft." "Well don't get use to it mister."
Finally out of the room Trunks went into deep thought "She is keeping something from me but what? I have a bad feeling about all of this, better keep an eye on Pan for her protection and might train a bit more because Ryan is a lot stronger than I originally thought."
Why is Pan keeping her deal with Ryan from Trunks? Will he ever find out? What does Ryan have in store for store for Pan? There are too many secrets, mysteries, and known facts that the DB hunters will have endure. Hopefully they can handle it in the end. Please review for future references. I am willing to take in all questions or advice if any of you have any.
Note: For the next few chapters it will be just dragonball hunting until they have four dragonballs which is where trouble bleaks again. That is when a lot of things will be reveal for you to understand.
