Dragonball Z2 Episode 99: Sacrificial Lamb
Narrator: previously on Dragonball Z2, Pan had returned to the battlefield recharged and ready to go, of course she was still not strong enough to take down Merl, but for whatever reason she wasn't worried…
Merl: (Goes in front of her and lays a punch right on her face)
Pan: (Flies back onto her back skidding on the ground)
Merl: just like before you continue to be easily thrown around… (He then notices something) huh?
Pan: (Suddenly jumps back onto her feet) (A little blood comes from her eyes but nothing more)
Merl: hmm… I didn't think you'd get up so quick from that attack…
Pan: you'll know I'm full of surprises.
Merl: I guess you are not only tough but very sturdy as well.
Pan: sure am! I get it from my grandpa.
Merl: you're grandfather must be a powerful man, when he faces someone else besides me.
Pan: he sure is, he's the basis for why I'm doing this in the first place.
Merl: I guess that makes sense, the teacher passes his knowledge to the student.
Pan: sorry but I taught myself these moves, it's all me. My grandpa has someone else who's his student…
Merl: and who would that be?
Pan: Oub, the one you called an Indian boy…
Merl: the one with the metal leg coverings…
(Skip)
Merl: he's an easy problem that will also be easily corrected, he'll die just like you.
Pan: you just don't get it… do you?
Merl: what are you saying?
Pan: you're too absent minded…
Merl: I'm going to beat you down even harder for saying that!
Pan: fine, be my guest.
Merl: arrrgg… (Jumps into the air and soars towards Pan and lays a kick on her stomach) (He then proceeds to punch at her, exachnaging many blows on all parts of her body) this will hurt!
Narrator: after every hit that Merl had thrown at her, she had managed to stay strong and did not fall to the ground to meet her fate…
Merl: (Continues to throw punches at Pan)
Pan: (Is hit by every single one of them)
Merl: arrgg… why don't you fall to the ground anymore!? (Punching her)
Pan: (Is not getting hit at the moment) (There is blood on her mouth) (She then proceeds to rub it off her mouth) (She then smirks)
Merl: why are you smiling!? I'm the one that should be smiling!
Pan: you just continue to not understand…
Merl: what are you talking about!? You make no sense!
Pan: I am making plenty of sense if you just sat and figured out what was going on here.
Merl: this has something to do with that attack again! Why don't you just use it and get it over with!
Pan: because I'm still prepping for it…
Merl: oh of course… or are you just bluffing, saying you have a special move when in reality you don't have squat.
Pan: maybe, maybe not…
Merl: arrgg… (He then slaps Pan across the face) (And he tries to swipe her off her feet)
Pan: (Manages to stay standing through all of this)
Narrator: after that, Merl did his best to make sure Pan fell to the ground so he could keep his ego high up in the charts and so he didn't appear as the weakling of the fight…
Pan: really? Are you just saying that?
Merl: no! (Bangs his hand into her) no! (Does it again) no! (Does it a third time) I never just say things, just to say them! (Bangs her one more time extra hard)
Pan: (Spits up some blood) (She then smirks again and chuckles) you're pathetic… (She coughs)
Merl: arrgg… (He drops her from his clutches)
Pan: (Lands on her feet)
Merl: …
Pan: you're still surprised, aren't you?
Merl: …
Pan: I'm going to make sure I never fall to the ground because of you again.
Merl: (Smirks) you won't live up to that promise! (He then runs in and puts his fists together and bangs on Pan's head)
Pan: (Continues to stand)
Merl: (Goes in and punches her in the stomach)
Pan: (Does not fall)
Merl: (Shoots multiple beams at Pan)
Pan: (Continues to stand tall)
Merl: arrgg….
Narrator: after this foreplay of power, Merl decided to give Pan the opportunity to use the attack that Pan had been speaking of because in his mind the attack would not be as powerful as Pan perceived it to be because he believed it all to be a big bluff…
Merl: this is getting ridiculous! Just fall to the ground! It's that simple!
Pan: I am no longer going to be listening to you, my friend.
Merl: really?
Pan: I have everything figured out now.
Merl: arrgg…
Pan: (Smirks) you're going to die in the next few minutes, or at least be wounded enough to where you lose all the power you currently have.
Merl: but how can one little attack do that much damage? What is this move?
Pan: it's quite simple really… it's an attack that will finish you in a quick swoop.
Merl: but what is it?
Pan: it's a trick that can not be repelled or stopped blow for blow, it's something that once it happens, there is no going back.
Merl: fine, I'll allow you to use this attack… whatever it may be, but I doubt it'll do anything of what you say.
Pan: oh it will, I promise you that much.
Merl: well promising never got anyone, anywhere.
Pan: let me tell you the name then: the Ultimate Final Skill!
Merl: hmm?
(Skip)
Vegeta: (Gasps) really!? Oh my goodness!
Goku: you mean, she's gong to do…
Vegeta: yes, Kakorot…
Gohan: hey! What are you guys talking about?
Vegeta: she's about to use the biggest attack of all…
Goten: what is it?
Vegeta: it's my own attack…
(Everyone becomes shocked)
(Vegeta remember back to DBZ)
Vegeta: (He is shown blowing himself up to defeat Majin Buu)
Buu: (Is destroyed in the explosion)
(Back to now)
Gohan: no… no… she can't…
(Everyone looks on towards Pan)
Pan: (Is shown smiling at Merl)
Narrator: is this true? Is Pan really going to blow herself up to stop Merl? Or is this some kind of trick? Find out today on Dragonball Z2!
Pan: (Continues to smile at Merl)
Merl: Ultimate Final skill? What, is that supposed to scare me or something?
Pan: (Chuckles)
Merl: things with the word "Ultimate" tend to be a little less then Intimating.
Pan: that may be true, but it's also true that Ultimate things really are Ultimate. You can't question that, until it's too late. I think me and my friends learned that the hard way about a year ago… but guess what? We beat those people, the same will happen to you as well.
Merl: don't underestimate me…
Pan: and don't underestimate my attack!
Merl: (Chuckles) feisty…
Pan: sure am, and proud of it.
Merl: so are you going to use this attack, or not?
Pan: (Suddenly starts coughing)
Merl: hmm?
Pan: (Coughs more) (She then throws up some blood)
(The Others)
Goken: what's wrong with her!?
Videl: I don't know…
Goten: it must be the aftereffects of the punches Merl threw into her stomach… I can tell you right now there must be a lot of internal bleeding.
Trunks: that's not good! She can't continue out there! She needs a sensu bean!
Goku: let her do her own thing…
Trunks: arrgg…
Gohan: we can't dad! She's talking about killing herself for perhaps nothing to stop that toxic beast!
Vegeta: that isn't her goal… she wants to at least weaken him to a certain point, he has become too strong and too much of liability for her to handle him with just hands and feet, and it will only be a matter of time before he gets even stronger until no one can even stand in his way let alone touch him.
Goku: exactly… best case scenario, she's bluffing and she has something else up her sleeve…
Gohan: what?
Goku: it's a theory…
(Merl and Pan)
Pan: (Continues to cough up a little more blood) Mind: man, I'm like a tomato or something…
Merl: aww, losing some of your life juice? That's not good… too bad for you.
Pan: I guess you sure left your mark on me…
Merl: sure did…
Pan: good thing it will all be over soon.
Merl: for you that is…
Pan: more like for the both of us…
Merl: what's that supposed to mean?
Pan: you'll find out soon enough…
(The Others)
Gohan: (Scrunches his fists) Pan… (He says to himself)
(Gohan has a memory from many years ago when Pan was 15 years old, this is a made up memory, not taken from anything, it's a completely original unaired memory)
(Videl and Gohan are shown standing in a living room with Pan standing in front of them; some kind of punishment is going on)
Videl: Pan! How can you do something like this? We said be back by 10! Just look at the clock! (Points towards the clock and it says 1 A.M.)
Pan: I just lost track of time…
Videl: we had thought that boy was responsible! But I guess we were wrong!
Pan: I didn't do anything that might embarrass you… (Looking down)
Videl: well you sure did embarrass us, by showing us how bad we are at enforcing rules, you're lucky I didn't send your father out to go and find you!
Pan: I'm sorry…
Videl: sorry won't cut it! I'm gonna-
Gohan: Pan… (Interrupts Videl)
Pan: yes, daddy…? (Fearful of what her dad might say)
Gohan: (Looks at her) you don't look like you've done anything illegal tonight. I think we should just let off with a warning and be done with it.
Videl: what!? You can't be serious Gohan! She needs to be punished for this! Do you want her going around doing whatever she wants whenever she wants!?
Gohan: no, I'm just simply saying that she's never done something like this before, this is the first time she's ever done anything of this magnitude, I'm simply saying she should just go unpunished for the first time, and if it happens again then you can punish her.
Videl: but Gohan! That's not a good way to treat a teen! We can't just let her get away with it.
Gohan: I used to do stuff like this when I was her age all the time. Hell, I even did things like sneaking out and going out to place late night when I was younger then her, and I sure did it a lot more then her too.
Videl: (Sighs) you get more and more ridiculous Gohan…
Gohan: (Chuckles) alright, off to bed Pan.
Pan: thank you daddy… (She walks off)
Videl: you usually are the one who induces punishment on her.
Gohan: I guess you can say I feel young again. And well she reminds me of myself every day…
Videl: ei-yi-yi… (Walks away)
(In Pan's room)
Pan: (Lies in her bed with blankets on her awake)
(There is a knock on her door)
Pan: who is it?
Gohan: it's dad…
Pan: come in…
Gohan: (Opens the door to her room and walks in and closes the door) hey…
Pan: hi daddy…
Gohan: (Walks up to the bed and sits on the corner of the bed) so then, what did you really do out there?
Pan: well…
Gohan: it was training, wasn't it?
Pan: yeah…
Gohan: (Chuckles) just like me and you're Grandpa. He and I used to sneak out to train all the time.
Pan: (Smiles)
Gohan: (Chuckles)
Pan: hey dad… thanks for the save back there…
Gohan: don't mention it, just remember though… don't do that again, or at least make sure your mom doesn't find out. You know how she gets…
Pan: yeah…
Gohan: if you do, do it again then I will allow a punishment to take place, and I won't be Mr. nice guy next time.
Pan: I know, believe me, I know from experience. (Chuckles)
Gohan: (Chuckles)
Pan: I love you daddy…
Gohan: … I love you too, sweet heart.
Pan: you're the best dad a girl could ever ask for.
Gohan: (Smiles) why, thank you…
Pan: I mean that.
Gohan: (He leans his head in and kisses her on the forehead)
Pan: maybe tomorrow you and I can do some training together.
Gohan: that sounds like a plan. I'll be sure to get my gear ready.
Pan: (She then hugs Gohan from her bed)
Gohan: (Hugs her back)
Pan: goodnight daddy!
Gohan: goodnight honey. (He gets up from the bed and goes to the door and opens it and walks out and closes the door)
(In the hallway)
Gohan: (Stands with his back to the door) (He takes a breathe and smiles, he is happy that is daughter loves him truthfully) (He then walks away)
(Back to Present)
Gohan: Mind: please, please… don't sacrifice yourself for nothing… you can't….
Rya: (Looks at Gohan, he saw the entire flashback Gohan was having) hmm… (He then looks back toward Pan and Merl) Mind: I myself am no longer feeling as though what she is doing is the right choice, but the fact that she wants to do it, is nothing short of beautiful and poetic… the fact that she will give up her own life to save countless other when she didn't have to in the first place. Much like what Char # 23 did for me… but at the same time I express remorse for what Gohan is going through. He's just not strong enough to deal with something of this magnitude. I guess if I had a kid of my own, I'd feel the same. (Sighs, he then looks back toward Pan)
(Merl and Pan)
Pan: alright! Let's get this attack pumped up and ready to go! (She starts powering up to get herself in the right mode of attack)
Merl: hmm… I feel some weird kind of energy coming off of her… I wonder what kind of Ki this is.
Pan: (Continues to power up)
(The Others)
Krillian: wait!? It's not happening right now, is it?
Bra: I don't know…
Marron: I'm not sure!
Vegeta: no, it's not; she's just sourcing energy to her core.
Goku: you mean?
Vegeta: yes, she's preparing life energy.
Goten: so then…
Gohan: she really is serious about using that move…
Vegeta: …
Gohan: Vegeta! Just tell me!
Vegeta: (Nods his head) yes Gohan, she's serious…
Gohan: (Looks toward Pan) I can't let her do that…
Goken: we just got her back! We can't lose her for real!
Videl: I don't think there's anything we can do to stop her.
Gohan: she can't do this! I'm telling you, she can't!
Piccolo: I'm sorry Gohan, but she's already getting it ready.
Gohan: Piccolo! We have to stop it! You have to help us.
Piccolo; we can wish her back Gohan…
Gohan: but we should have to! We can find another way!
Trunks: we need to find another way! I agree with Gohan, there are other options to this?
Vegeta: name one that we know of…
Trunks: …
Vegeta: exactly, let her do what she's doing…
Trunks: but we can't just stand here and watch her kill herself!
Vegeta: then perhaps we should do what I did to you when I blew myself up.
Trunks: huh?
(Remembers back to DBZ)
( Battle against Buu)
Vegeta: you've made me, proud…
Trunks: huh?
Vegeta: (Hits Trunks on the neck knocking him out)
(Back to Episode 99)
Vegeta: do you want me to do it again so you will not have to see her die?
Trunks: … (Scrunching his fists and his eyes) no…
Vegeta: Trunks, you have to be strong. You have to see the outcome of this even if the woman that you love dies in front of you. I watched my mother die in front of me.
Trunks: (Eyes widen) you did? (He is also surprised that Vegeta knows Trunk's feelings for Pan)
Vegeta: don't focus on me! Focus on yourself! Turn and watch the battle, watch Pan show the pride of Sayian!
Trunks: (Listens to his father's word and even though it is hard, he tries his best to watch Pan powering up)
(Merl and Pan)
Merl: this attack sure does take a long while to load up… you're really testing my patience.
Pan: don't worry; it will all be worth it. (Still powering up with a purple like aura going around her)
Merl: (Has his arms crossed) hmm…
(The Others)
Oub: I never knew Pan was this pure…
Goku: she's always been…
(Images of her, Trunks, and Goku go through Goku's mind while they were off searching for the Black Star Dragonballs and all the crazy arguments that Goku and Pan got into on their journey)
Goku: (Smiles)
(He remembers back to the tournament match in DBZ when Pan was only 4 years old)
Pan and Mou Kekko face off)
Mike the Announcer: Then, please start!
Mou Kekko: I've got no choice. I'll knock her out of the ring.
Mou Kekko: What!?
(Pan slams him in the face, then kicks him out of the ring)
Bulma, Videl, Gohan: All right!
(Mou Kekko is stunned)
Mike the announcer: He's all right! Mou Kekko is still breathing! Because he's not dead, the victory for the first match goes to Pan!
Bra: You did it!
Ox King: Good job, Pan!
Mr. Satan: Are you all right, Pan!?
Mr. Satan: You're not hurt, are you?
Pan: I'm all right.
Trunks: There's no reason why she wouldn't be.
Goku: Pretty good, Pan!
(Back to Episode 99)
Goku: she's about to do what I did myself…
(He then remembers back to DBZ)
Goku: (Is shown standing in front of Gohan with is fingers on his head, looking toward his son but holding onto Cell)
Gohan: daddy!
Goku: good bye, my son…
(Goku then Instant Transmissions himself away)
(Back to Episode 99)
Goku: she will now be like Vegeta and I both…
Gohan: you can't be saying that dad! You have to know there is a better plan then doing this!
Goku: (Ignores Gohan)
Gohan: …
(Merl and Pan)
Pan: (Continues to power up with a smirk on her face)
Merl: you know I could just take a nap right now…
Pan: there'd be no point because I just finished.
Merl: oh? What a coincidence.
Pan: (Her aura goes away) (She looks at Merl)
Merl: so are you going to use it or not?
Pan: actually, I need to talk to my brother first.
Merl: (Sighs) sure, why not… you've already wasted enough time as it is, you might as well waste more… go and talk to your brother.
Pan: thanks. (She then lifts off in the air to the cliff where Goken is)
Goken: Pan?
Pan: (Lands on the cliff right in front of Goken)
Goken: (Looks up to his sister) what is it, sis?
Pan: (Smiles) I never realized how much taller I am over you, pipsqueak.
Goken: you've always been taller then me. (With a tear in his eye)
Pan: and I always will be. (She then kneels down to her knees in front of Goken) maybe this will work a little better.
Goken: (Drops tears) yep…
Pan: hey, hey, Goken, there's no need for you to cry…
Goken: but heard what every one else was saying… you're going to blow yourself up, aren't you?
Pan: (Sighs) it's not like that Goken… I would never do anything like this to deliberately make you sad. That's the last thing I'd ever do, especially to you.
Goken: but why are you doing it?
Pan: (Smiles) because if I don't… then you would all die… and I don't want that on my conscious. You could die… and I don't know how I would live with myself if I let you die.
(Everyone else watches their conversation)
Goken: but isn't there another way?
Pan: I wish there was Goken… but you see... sometimes we have to make decisions that other people might not like. But that's the things work sometimes. And we just have to accept that, no matter how sad or upset we get… we accept responsibilities even if we don't want to. (She looks toward Trunks and Gohan) (She then looks back toward Goken)
Goken: I think… I think I understand…
Pan: good… I'm glad you do.
Goken: (Looks up to Pan) (He can't contain himself) (He starts crying in her arms)
Pan: (Holds onto Goken letting him cry in her arms)
(Everyone else watches silently as this happens)
Pan: (Rubs Goken's head)
Goken: (Crying)
Pan: I love you Goken…
Goken: (With muffled sounds to his voice) I… I… I… love you… too…. (Crying)
Pan: (Looks up to Gohan and then Videl) (She smiles) (She then quickly jumps away from Goken without him knowing and she jumps off the cliff)
Videl: wait Pan!
Gohan: no! Pan!
Trunks: don't do it!
Videl: she's not even going to say goodbye to us!?
Gohan: to hell she is! (He goes running in)
Goku: Gohan, no! (But he can't stop Gohan)
(On the ground)
Pan: (Is shown walking toward Merl)
Gohan: (Lands on the ground behind Pan) PAN!!! (He shouts)
Pan: (Stops walking and turns and looks at Gohan) hi dad…
Gohan: you can't do this… please, don't!
Pan: I'm sorry; it has to be done…
Gohan: you don't have to do this!
Pan: I don't have to, I need to.
Gohan: but there has to be other alternatives! There just has to be!
Pan: as much as I wish there were, there just isn't… now please tell mom goodbye for me… and when you can, as long as the Dragonballs are intact, bring me back for Goken…
Gohan: but we can't do that! You're one of the few of us who hasn't died yet!
Pan: no more arguments… goodbye dad…
Gohan: noooo!! (Starts running towards her)
Pan: (Points her hand towards her father and puts an energy shield up to block her father from reaching her)
Gohan: no! You can't do this! Pan!!! (He starts knocking on the shield over and over again) Pan!!! Please!!
Pan: (Walks towards Merl)
(The Others)
Vegeta: my goodness… what a warrior… I'm sure if there were other Sayians here, they would mistake her for being a full one.
Goku: they sure would.
Bra: (Drops tears from her eyes)
Marron: (Is also crying)
18: (Even she is fighting back tears)
Rya: Piccolo… I believe I am feeling the earthly emotion of sadness, aren't I?
Piccolo: it's perfectly normal Rya, I too felt funny the first time I felt sad for something.
Rya: I've felt sad before… but not like this.
Piccolo: same with me Rya… same with me.
Goten: (Salutes Pan)
Trunks: I have to stay strong! I have to!
Goken: Pan! Please! Come back!
Videl: (Trying to hold Goken still)
(Merl and Pan)
Pan: (Stands not far from Merl)
Merl: what was that all about?
Pan: none of your concern.
Merl: hmm… whatever… use your attack now, if you will.
Pan: sure thing, buddy…
Merl: whatever it is, it will not show any power to me.
Pan: and that's where you're wrong Merl. (Suddenly power starts going around her, but it is a different kind of power, it's some kind of yellow energy)
Merl: huh!?
Pan: exactly, you couldn't figure it out because you're not as smart as you thought you were. I'm going to blow you to pieces!
Merl: that's- that's- that's…
Pan: life energy!
Merl: you want to die!? Are you insane!?
Pan: not even close…
Merl: you want us to both to die!?
Pan: no… but I have to do it anyway.
Merl: I won't let you! You stupid little-
Pan: (She looks over to Goken, Videl, Gohan, Goku, Goten, Bra, and Marron, an everyone else) (She then closes her eyes)
Merl: Nooooooooooooo wait!!! Don't do this!
Pan: (The energy goes more massive around her)
Merl: that's too much energy! I can't deflect that! No!!!!
Pan: ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!
Merl: nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!
Pan: (The energy becomes more massive around her)
(Shields go up into the background to protect the others from the blast)
Pan: (Raises up into the air and a blinding light goes all around her) ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!
Merl: arrgg….
Pan: I love you all!! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!! (The light consumes her)
Merl: (Puts his hands out to try his best to throw it back, but it goes right through him) ahhhhhhggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhh!!! This can't be happening to me! All my power! No!!! Uggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg!!!! (HE starts getting shredded to pieces) (He is taken into the air) ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!! (He then explodes, into small molecules)
Pan: (Is shown as the explosion continues as a stone statue, but suddenly out of nowhere her stone statue blows up into a million pieces)
(The light covers your view screen)
(Cut straight to scenes)
Scenes: next time on Dragonball Z2, Pan is dead, and although she sacrificed herself, the Z-fighters have their doubts that Merl is dead, but even so they are prepared to continue where she left off, and Trunks does something that is unimaginable through Gohan's eyes, all next time on Dragonball Z2!
