U-20
Pan awoke to a shining light in her room. It seemed the Kai loved experiments and was watching her various ones going on in the corner. Good thing she slept in pants! Gomen slammed her door open and she pointed to the kai enchanted with the experiments going on behind the bed.
"At least he's not Roshi," he muttered grabbing some jeans and a red shirt along with underwear he'd rather not touch. "Here you can change in my room."
She grabbed her boots and nodded following her brother to his room. He shut the door while she changed. She stared at the mirror remembering hard black eyes. No Pan not again. You rescinded him remember? Don't get crushed again.
She slipped her shirt over her budding curves and pulled up her white jeans over widening hips. Stepping into her boots she used her brother's brush to comb her slightly curly hair. Instead of her usual style she combed it all to her side and tied her bandanna at the tip to keep it together. Another way to tell us apart. I don't look half bad with this hairdo. Keiko could never look as good as me!
The door creaked open. "Ready sis?" asked Gomen as he slipped a shirt over his undershirt covering a physique as good as any of the saiyan boys maybe better. He sure thought so. Unlike Goten and Trunks he had no fat on him anywhere. The twins dragged the Kai to the front of their side of the house. Ever since completing the new gravity machine for Vegita at eight and proving themselves to him, they had rooms in the Brief's home. Their parents must have brought them in while they slept.
Opening the door they glanced at each other and nodded. "Can you awaken everyone with your ki while we hit the friendly button?" asked Pan as she went to the code she and the Z fighters had made for threats. As soon as she rang the friendly button the Kai exploded in a brilliant rainbow for a minute.
Vegita instant tramissioned there and got out of his fighting stance nodding to his students. "This is the Kai then?
Gomen nodded while the rest arrived.
"He didn't exactly give us any warning. One minute we were on his ship the next awake here with him in my room and marveling at the experiments behind the bed," Pan said blushing.
"Your room? Hmm." answered Gohan not too happy but Videl calmed him.
"I always knew you were a whore," Keiko muttered laughing with Goten
Pan still felt her heart squeeze and didn't respond but Gomen smirked.
"We have a Kai who can verify for us," he said and the kai smiled and nodded.
Keiko screamed no making others wonder what she was hiding.
"Enough! He has come to tell us of the crisis with the universes, said Vegita as he mentioned for Gohan and Bulma to follow him. He glanced at the twins and nodded for their appearance being needed. Pan and Gomen bowed. They followed after him and were the last to enter the large council room. The doors were closed. Pan and Gomen were made to recite what they had found out that night and like Pan, Vegita didn't trust the information. How could so strong a Kai not be in the record books of any Universe? There was another hole as well.
The ship you need for this is a very elaborate set up. It could take years to build. How many years do we have before the universes clash?" asked Bulma making note on her palm pilot.
"five years at most," replied the Kai.
"In that case we are doomed," said Gohan. He stood . "I trust Bulma to get the ship ready but every dimension and every universe, that's impossible. There are quadrillions of possibilities to search through. There wouldn't be time to search through every possibility for the pendants."
"Keiko sneered. "If its even possible to time travel."
"Mirai Trunks did so to save Goku from a heart virus and warn us of the androids. Stop your snarking and learn your history woman," Vegita said as he turned to Bulma. "Is the brat right?"
Bulma sighed. "Yes. I'm afraid he is."
Pan and Gomen were whispering in their corner and arguing.
"It might work sis!"
"Maybe Gomen we'd still have about half a year if that to do it and we don't know how fast things are going to go," said Pan
"A chance is a chance," he said. Pan thought about it. He was right a chance was all they had. If they could filter out the noise of useless dimensions it could be possible maybe even their true calling.
"Alright. This was your idea so you ask." Pan said smirking.
Gomen stood and cleared his throat smirking . "Fine, I'll explain my half."
"Punk," Pan muttered as everyone turned to them.
"Pan and I have an idea about the dimensions and universes," he said walking to the Kai. "Is there a way you can make a beacon or something close to navigate the ship? That should give us more focus on where to look then Pan can isolate the beacon to a few dimensions and hopefully one of those will be it."
The kai smiled. "I can do one better. I'll build the craft and each Pan and Gomen will go into a trance and mark the coordinates for the pendant that most calls to them. At the end we all meet back here with the pieces and piece the puzzle together. Your end will be piecing the the pendants."
"I'll show you to a work room then," said Bulma as the Z fighters all followed him into the workroom and watched as from simple ki a magnificent ship was born. It had seating for eight people and large wings to navigate space easily. The thrusters were on the bottom and the tail had the insignia of a phoenix. It was red and gold. The Kai held out a golden compass to Gomen. "This compass will lead you to the pendant but be weary they will not be easy to gain. There will be many adversaries along the way."
Gomen nodded and placed the compass over his head and around his neck.
To pan he held out a golden liquid vile. "This has enough for the use of eight possible pendant locations. Put it in the compartment up front which is designed for the ship, and so begins your journey. Navigation is simple dials and frequencies both of you can read. I must go and replenish my energy," he said fading into golden sparkles and making Goten sneeze.
"You can pack tomorrow what your taking," said Gohan placing his hands on the twin's head.
"Won't they need a supervisor?" sneered Keiko hoping she got to go.
"We technically already have one," Pan said shrugging. "His name is Vegita jr and he's about twenty and takes honor and duty to the next level."
Gomen rolled his eyes. "He's intense alright."
Videl glanced at Gohan and he nodded. "Do you guys remember Marron Chestnut? She graduated from a fine engineering college so she can help if the ship damages."
Gomen smiled. "Oh yea the rat sitter. I don't think she ever babysitted after Dax escaped his cage," he chuckled.
Pan grinned. I remember that but didn't you throw that rat at Trunks?"
"Yup."
"Marron was the one to get it though because Trunks was a chicken and threw it at her. It ruined their date and relationship," muttered Goten.
"Hey we saved her from ruining her life!" said Gomen.
Gohan sighed. "I'm not sure she appreciated it son," he muttered while the twins laughed. "Still I'm calling her first thing tomorrow so be prepared to see her.
Gomen and Pan groaned.
