Chapter Two: Sneak Attack

Bakemono heads for the Capsule Corp. compound, which is now only a few miles away. He would have liked to fly but that would notify the Saiyans of his whereabouts and he wanted to sneak up on them. He has only been running for a couple of hours and at his present speed he should be there within another hour. He stops as his communicator beeps. He pulls it out and pushes a button. Instantly an image of Youkai is projected.

"Yes sir? What is it?" Bakemono asks bowing his head in respect.

"General Bakemono. I have just been informed that there are many Saiyans on the planet that do not live at your current destination. However I have been told that 3 of the most powerful ones live there. Continue to that location and I'm sure that the others will soon come to aid their friends." Youkai responds; his holographic image smirking.

"Sir." Bakemono nods.

"Also there seems to be a young Saiyan child residing there. I was not aware of this until now and I would like you to take her prisoner. She's young enough to be controlled. Being so small we will be able to erase her memories and bend her will to ours. This is not possible with the older Saiyans so make sure you bring her to me alive, she'll be of great assistance to us. Kill the others, however you see fit. Just make sure it's painful, those miserable monkeys destroyed my home planet!" Youkai seethes angrily.

"Yes sir!" Bakemono replies with a smirk as he bows his head in respect.

The image fades and Bakemono returns the communicator to his pocket before continuing on his way. Bakemono soon arrives at the Capsule Corp. compound and checks the perimeter. When he is sure that everything is safe he slowly floats up to the second floor. He peeks into the window and sees a small brown haired girl playing with what appear to be dolls. Focusing on the girl's ki he quickly realizes that this is the Saiyan child that he is after. Smirking evilly he quickly and silently opens the window and slinks in unnoticed. He came up right behind her and laughed slightly. This caused Jasumin to whirl around but before she could even face him Bakemono punched her.

SCENE CHANGE

Pan had long since fallen asleep on the couch after cleaning the dishes and Trunks was now getting ready for a workout. He had felt his daughter's ki rise slightly but he shrugged it off figuring that she was just having fun playing. He headed for the training room to do some stretches and a kata routine before going to work.

SCENE CHANGE

Jasumin reeled because of the punch but managed to stay standing thanks to the fact that she was born a Super Saiyan. Despite the fact that both her grandfather Vegeta and Yamako had been training her ever since she could talk she had never faced an enemy before and she was too scared to transform. Bakemono grinned evilly and continued to beat the young Saiyan mercilessly. As hard as Jasumin tried she just couldn't avoid his attacks and by the time she had gotten over her fear enough to transform she was too weak to even fight back. She struggled to her feet; she was panting heavily and her eyes blurred and grew heavy. She had numerous cuts all over her body and she was using all her strength just to remain standing. She had on several occasions attempted to scream but every time she opened her mouth to try she was hit even harder. She struggled to catch her breath but every breath brought about more pain because of the number of bruised and broken ribs she had. Bakemono moved towards her smirking evilly. This would be the attack that knocked her out. Though badly beaten the girl was still very much alive and his orders said nothing about not being able to hurt her.

Oh man! Where's Daddy? Why isn't he here? Doesn't he know what's going on? Jasumin thought as Bakemono approached.

Bakemono stood right above her and he raised his hand across his chest. Jasumin closed her eyes and clenched her teeth shut. This was it; she was dead for sure. Just as Bakemono struck her neck Jasumin summoned up all her strength and for a brief second went partially Super Saiyan.

Trunks' head shot up. For a second he had felt his daughter's ki spike. He knew that she had gone Super Saiyan if only half way and that meant that she was in trouble. Rushing over to the control panel he opened the door and raced out. He bolted upstairs and nearly had a heart attack when he saw his daughter on the floor, unconscious and bleeding with someone reaching for her. He glared at the creature that was now lifting his daughter by her arms. Trunks growled angrily and his hair spiked as he transformed into a Super Saiyan.

"GET AWAY FROM MY DAUGHTER!" Trunks screamed as he launched himself at the creature.

Bakemono didn't notice Trunks until it was too late and he was sent flying through the wall when Trunks' fist made contact with him. Trunks instantly bent down next to his daughter, looking her over. Trunks' eyes welled up with tears as he gently cradled his daughter in his arms. He hugged her close and held her firmly against his chest. Trunks stood up and gently placed Jasumin on her bed before turning towards the new hole in the side of the building. Flying out he looked around hoping to spot Bakemono.

"COME OUT AND FIGHT YOU COWARD! WHERE ARE YOU?! I DON'T KNOW WHO YOU ARE BUT YOU'RE GOING TO PAY FOR HURTING MY LITTLE GIRL!" Trunks bellowed causing not only Pan but Vegeta and Bulma to wake up as well.

Pan rushed upstairs and stopped dead when she saw her daughter on her bed covered in wounds. Pan raced over to her and hugged her tightly. She sobbed briefly before turning towards the hole in the wall where she felt Trunks. Walking over she looked outside only to find Trunks in Super Saiyan 2 mode, frantically searching around. Bulma and Vegeta rushed in soon after and Bulma instantly took Jasumin into her arms and Vegeta powered up to Super Saiyan 2 once he saw his granddaughter nearly beaten to death. He zoomed out and began looking for the monster that dared to attack his family. Pan followed suit as she too powered up to Super Saiyan 2 and joined them outside.

SCENE CHANGE

Goku felt Trunks, Pan, and Vegeta's kis go through the roof and instantly knew that something was wrong. Grabbing hold of Chichi's hand he teleported over to Videl's house to retrieve his son and tell the others of what was happening. When he got there he found Goten asleep. Quickly waking him up he told him about what was going on. Goten was up, dressed, and ready to go within half an hour. Goku grabbed hold of Goten and was about to teleport to Capsule Corp. when the girls asked what was wrong. Goku explained and Chichi and Videl instantly wanted to go. After all Pan and Jasumin were part of their family too. Goku and Goten reluctantly agreed and they left after telling Marron to call Krillin, Android 18, and Bra to explain what was happening.

SCENE CHANGE

Kumori was just about to leave for work when he felt Trunks' ki spike like crazy. Knowing full well that something serious was going on he quickly changed out of his business attire (he couldn't fight very well in them) into his usual, more appropriate, clothes (baggy blue jeans, a black long sleeve shirt with a red t-shirt over it, and tan and brown Capsule Corp. style boots) before he opened the window that overlooked the housing facility for the Briefs (he lives in an apartment building adjacent to the property) and took off. He searched around and felt Yamako's ki way off in the distance but rapidly heading towards home. He guessed that she had been out in the forest training again but had headed home when she felt Trunks' ki rise. Yet with how far away she was he knew that it would take her a few hours to get there and by that time the battle would be over. Blasting off as fast as he could he made it to Capsule Corp. within a few minutes.

SCENE CHANGE

Bakemono appeared out of nowhere and in no time at all he had knocked Trunks out from behind. He was just about to blast him when Vegeta's foot made contact with his back. Bakemono whirled around and growled at the Saiyan. Vegeta sneered and went level 3. He charged at Bakemono and was soon thrown backwards. Vegeta collided with the Capsule Corp. building and caused the wall to come crumbling down on top of him. Pan zoomed inside and grabbed Bulma and Jasumin before the floor gave way underneath them. She set them down on the ground a safe distance away from the compound and then turned back to the fight only to see Vegeta get hurled backwards. Bakemono then fired a ki blast straight at Vegeta, which knocked him into unconsciousness. Trunks had managed to regain consciousness and soon he was up on his feet. Trunks looked around and just as he noticed his unconscious father on the ground, Kumori showed up. Kumori looked around and noticed Vegeta on the ground motionless. He then saw Trunks coming towards him and Pan frantically fighting Bakemono in the distance. Trunks came to a halt next to him.

"What's going on?" Kumori asked.

"That thing showed up and hurt Jaz." Trunks growled.

Kumori gasped. Ever since he came to this time he had grown to love Jasumin as a sister. The Briefs were like family to him; they always had, in both worlds. He bowed his head sadly; he hated seeing Trunks so upset.

"Listen Kumori I need you to take my father to safety. Get him out of here. Pan and I will hold him off. After that I need you to get him some senzu beans." Trunks instructs.

Kumori nods. He doesn't even bother to question Trunks; he knows that Trunks knows what he's talking about and that he is probably right. Kumori gently lifted the Saiyan prince up and flung him over his shoulder taking off, he carried him a few miles away before setting him down. Confident that he would be safe there Kumori took off once again for the Lookout. Glancing back in the direction of his apartment building he suddenly remembered when Yamako came over to get him for a spar and how she had left a bag of senzu beans there. He had completely forgotten about them before but now he blasted off for his home since it was much closer.

SCENE CHANGE

Pan had seen Vegeta get hit and Trunks stand as Kumori showed up; grunting in determination Pan launched herself at Bakemono in order to keep him from attacking Kumori or Trunks. Soon after Trunks joined in the fight and the 2 mates fought with all their might just trying to hold Bakemono off until Goku showed and he and Vegeta fused. Pan was hit hard in the back and was sent sprawling to the ground. Before she had time to get up and dodge she was hit full force by Bakemono's ki blast.

"PAN!" Trunks screamed when he saw her get hit and felt her ki drop.

When the dust cleared Pan was laying on the ground motionless no longer a Super Saiyan. Trunks growled ferociously and turned back to Bakemono.

"You're going to pay for that! No body touches my mate and lives!" Trunks exclaimed as he headed for Bakemono.

Bakemono simply smirked and got into a fighting position. Bakemono was looking forward to killing this Saiyan's mate. The expression he got on his face was very amusing and his torment delighted him to the fullest. Quickly dodging Trunks' attack he kneed him in the ribs and tossed him into the distance. Forming his energy into his hands Bakemono sent a powerful ki wave straight for Pan. Trunks used his energy to stop in midair and after shaking his head he opened his eyes only to see a giant ki wave heading straight for Pan.

"PAN!" he cried.

Trunks rocketed off towards her but was too far away to get there in time to save her. The blast closed in and exploded around her body. Bakemono laughed and Trunks stopped dead in his tracks, tears filled his eyes as he looked on in shock. His transformation began to break down because of the thought of his soul mate being dead. Just as Trunks was about to fall out of Super Saiyan completely he noticed that 2 other kis were present. He looked towards where Pan was supposed to be and noticed 2 figures standing in the cloud of smoke. Trunks smiled as he recognized the 2.

SCENE CHANGE

Chichi and Videl stood next to Bulma as she held onto Jasumin tightly. Videl's eyes well up with tears as she looks at her granddaughter's cut and bloody face. Chichi is practically in hysterics over the whole situation. Bulma can't think about anything except about how hurt her granddaughter is. However, soon the logical part of her takes control and she decides that the best thing for Jasumin right now is getting her to a hospital.

"We need to get her looked at. I'd say from the look of it that she has some pretty serious injuries and her pulse is starting to drop. We have to get her to a hospital right now."

"But the hospital is on the other side of the city and we'd have to go straight through the battle to get there." Videl exclaims frantically.

"Why go through when you can go over?" a voice asks from the sky.

The girls look up only to see Krillin and Android 18 floating above them. The 2 smile and land in front of the 3 women. They quickly glance at Jasumin and sad looks cross their faces. After all Jasumin was related to them in a way. Their daughter was Trunks and Pan's aunt, through her marriage with Goten, and this was their daughter.

"That's not a problem for me but for Bulma and Chichi it's another story." Videl replies smiling slightly at seeing some old friends again.

"That's where we come in. Let's go!" Krillin exclaimed as he hesitantly flew over to Chichi and picked her up.

Android 18 grabbed hold of Bulma and Videl took Jasumin gently in her arms. The group took off high into the sky and flew above the battlefield to the hospital in West Capital. As soon as they get there they rush inside and demand that Jasumin be looked at. Dr. Homare and his team rush her into the ER and begin to examine her injuries while Chichi, Videl, and Bulma wait anxiously for word on her condition.

SCENE CHANGE

Goku turned his head slightly behind him only to see his granddaughter on the ground, half dead. Growling in anger he turned back to Bakemono. He had always been really close to Pan because she was Gohan's only child and a true fighter. Pan had always been more of a grandpa's girl than a daddy's girl but all the same she was family and no 1 hurts his family and lives. Goku powered up to level 3 and stepped forward. Goten went level 2 and stood next to Trunks as he landed.

"You're going to pay for what you have done to my family!" Goku snarls.

"Oh really and I suppose that you're going to make me? Face it Saiyan…you don't have what it takes to beat me." Bakemono seethes. "I have already beaten that other pure blood. Besides…General Bakemono fears no Saiyan."

Goku winces slightly upon hearing that he already beat Vegeta. That meant that this guy was a lot stronger than he looked and that level 3 wasn't going to be enough.

This isn't good. I can't beat this guy! He already beat Vegeta and we are dead even in strength! The only way I could possibly beat him is if I went level 4 but I need moonlight to do that and that would take too long. Damn it what now? Goku thinks nervously. Wait…Gogeta!

Goku frantically looks around for Vegeta but doesn't find him anywhere in sight. Turning back to Bakemono he barely manages to dodge his attack. Goten and Trunks jump to the side and look at each other. A silent understanding passing between them. The 2 had been best friends all their lives and they could practically read the other's mind.

"Goten." Trunks states.

"Right." Goten replies nodding.

The 2 power up to level 2 and glare at Bakemono. Trunks suppresses some of his power so that he will be even with Goten. The 2 stand there for a minute before they begin to move their arms and legs in the form of the fusion dance. A bright light enshrouds them and when the light dims Trunks and Goten are no longer standing there. In their stead stands Gotenks. Gotenks powers up to level 3 and darts right into the middle of the fight that is currently going on between Goku and Bakemono. Gotenks kicks Bakemono into the rumble that was once a wall to the Capsule Corp. building before landing in front of Goku.

"We'll hold him off you go fuse with Dad/Vegeta." Gotenks replied in his duel voice.

Goku nodded and flew off into the distance to avoid getting hit during the fight.

Author's Note: Well isn't this a switch. Goku is actually afraid of an opponent. I guess he's not as confident as he appears. Remember to review!
