Summary: Vegeta was -never- blown up. No one died. Frieza was defeated and Pan and Trunks hate each other. What could possibly be more dangerous then two Saiyans roaming around the palace, setting things on fire, and causing much more chaos? How come they're always hanging out if they hate each other?
Friendly reminded, this story is AU :]

Chapter Six: Total Revenge
The wizard was using the inhabitants of Vegeta to his advantage. The only way he could possess somebody was if a person had evil tendencies or harmful thoughts, and the only way he would possess someone is if these thoughts were directed at King Vegeta. He didn't see the point in possessing someone if they had evil thoughts about the sun or the rain or their ex-girlfriend. He wanted to get straight to the King. The one single thought that would bring destruction to Planet Vegeta was very elusive. It proved to be a very difficult thought to find because no one on Planet Vegeta wished any harm towards their King.
However, there appeared to be one single Saiyan on the planet that had just one small, minuscule, tiny, fleeting thought that wanted to harm Vegeta. The thought was gone as swiftly as it had appeared, but that did not stop the wizard from finding it. It appeared Vegeta had found out about Thox's infidelities against Pan and had brought it upon himself to teach the boy a lesson and punish him, which did not sit well with Thox. It was after this incident that the wizard had giggled with glee, finding his doorway into the minds of every Saiyan on the planet. You see, as soon as one person had an inkling of revolt and uprising against Vegeta, he could spread it to a few of his friends who would learn that Vegeta was actually not as kind as he seemed, who would reveal it to their families that Vegeta had killed innocent people, who would send it to their distant relatives that Vegeta was soon forcing them into labor for his own needs and soon the entire planet would believe some huge lie about how evil and nefarious King Vegeta was.
And that would be the downfall of them all. One stupid, insignificant, young Saiyan who had made the biggest mistake of his life by cheating on Pan, daughter of the Protector of Vegeta. He didn't realize his mistake at the time and would only realize how stupid he was after his possession was ended and his life was cut short by the hand of a giggling wizard, who had finally gotten his way and could only happily prance away from the dead Saiyan to start his destruction upon the Planet, in complete revenge of his father who had been humiliated after his defeat by a planet full of barbaric and cutthroat animals. It was his turn to exterminate the entire race of Saiyans and he would not fail like his father had. His father had passed his mission on to his son after he had run from Vegeta like a coward. The wizard smiled evilly; he was no coward.

Pan was angry at her father and at Vegeta. The two of them had known something was amiss and they didn't say anything about it to anyone. Not even her, when she had come upon them the day before looking for a good spar and they had been muttering and whispering to each other when she had been walking towards them. They had been so deep in their quiet conversation that neither had bothered to register her ki in their minds and they stopped talking in surprise and turned to look at her at the same time as she stood a few feet away. When she had asked them what they were discussing both had dismissed her indifferently and had immediately dismissed her again when she asked to spar. She had then stormed off in a huff and hadn't bothered to think of their intense conversation until just a moment ago when everything seemed to click into place. As much as Pan wanted to storm over to the two men she restrained herself and stood rigidly in front of Trunks, dropping his forearms she hadn't even realized she had been grasping and crossed her arms over her chest, keeping her head turned away from the boy in front of her, looking on at her dad and Vegeta in anger.
Trunks was standing in front of Pan, watching her practically bubble and boil in anger, before he sighed in defeat and flopped down on the sofa several feet away. No one else in the room had noticed Pan's angry glares but they were bound to notice at some point and Trunks couldn't let that happen, "Pan!" Trunks whispered and she whipped her head around to face Trunks, "Get. Over. Here."
That only seemed to make Pan more angry, and for good reason, Trunks was talking to her like she was a child. She stomped over to where Trunks was and sat beside him, "What the hell is wrong with you?" Trunks asked, still whispering but now it was directed at her ear. Pan didn't answer, "I don't know why you have chosen this moment to be so furious and at our fathers no less. What has gotten into you?" Pan heard Trunks sigh and felt the puff of warm breath from his mouth hit her neck and she shuddered before finally answering, not even bothering to face Trunks, "They knew something was going on Trunks."
Trunks' attention turned from the angry girl beside him to his fathers who were still conversing quietly. He felt the same flare of anger he knew Pan was feeling but shunned it before it could take over his mind, "Pan, would you really expect them to tell us? What good would it have done?" Pan was still angry, but she calmed down at his words and Trunks could tell as she relaxed into the sofa. He was right, he was always right. It usually made her mad, but right now she didn't think she could ride another roller coaster of emotions as she had earlier and she continued to settle into the soft, plush, cushion underneath her.
Trunks smoothed down Pan's hair to get her to relax completely, "Why are you so infuriating?" He asked her quietly, rhetorically, as her eyes slipped shut and she smiled, "I'm only infuriating because you're an asshole."
Trunks almost laughed and wanted to smack Pan upside the head. Another annoying comment from the peanut gallery and it was only said to try and make Trunks laugh, which was the last thing he wanted to do right now in such a serious situation. He heard Pan sigh and she leaned her head against his shoulder and moved closer to him. All thoughts of weird dreams with her best friend were pushed aside as she focused on clearing her brain to put the more important matter at hand. Trunks' mind was averted from his best friend as well, his conversation with Goten earlier that day the furthest thing from his mind. They were both thinking about how they could help their planet and their fellow Saiyans.
Pan suddenly felt like she was asleep, dreaming. She smiled as her father's face pictured in her head and he was smiling at her, "Panny..." He said, which such love and then it was gone and Pan realized she hadn't been dreaming, no, her dad had been communicating with her and she could only shout out in horror as she opened her eyes and witnessed her dad blinking out of sight along with Vegeta. It seemed everyone had gotten pretty much the same message as she had and Pan couldn't help herself. She was crying before she could stop herself. This was the most uncertain she had felt about anything in her entire life. She didn't know what was going to happen and that scared her. She prided herself in knowing that everything was going to be all right, that everything would work itself out and this unsure feeling she had, this torturous, burning in her stomach, told her that there was a possibility that nothing would ever be perfect again.
Pan understood why they left, they were trying to protect their family and their fellow Saiyans, but Pan felt abandoned. She didn't know why they couldn't have taken her with, she wanted to help so bad and she felt like she could, or at least should help. She felt obligated to. But she knew she had never experienced battle before and knew they were doing her a favor by leaving them all there, yet she still couldn't stop the feelings of anger from rising. They were practically running off to have themselves killed without bringing anyone with to protect them. But Pan didn't know if that was true or not. She didn't know what was going on outside the palace and that was probably what stirred the uneasiness in her the most. She knew enough about wizards and possession to know how they worked. For all Pan knew, the whole planet could have turned against Vegeta and were waiting to storm the palace at that very moment. She didn't even realize that she was hyperventilating, she didn't even see everyone around her attempting to calm her down before she passed out and blackness overtook her mind.

Pan immediately feared the worse and began to panic when she woke up on her back in a pitch black room. Pan stirred and attempted to sit up but was pushed back down by someone when she tried. Pan breathed deeply and recognized the smell of Trunks who was the one next to her forcing her to lie back. She relaxed but felt someone else next to her, unsure of who it was. Her eyes were finally adjusting to the lack of light in the room and Pan looked at Trunks who was staring at her intently through the darkness. "What's going on?" Pan whispered as she looked to her other side and recognized it was Bra she was next and she was holding her hand tightly, even while she was sleeping. Next to Bra was Goten with his arms around her. "You passed out...it's probably about one in the morning so don't worry, you haven't been out for too long." Trunks whispered quietly. "After that, my mother told me to put you in this room located inside my father's private quarters. We're in the most secure part of the palace. Our mother's are in my father's office, I think they're still awake too." He said, looking through the darkness where the door to Vegeta's office must have been located.
"None of us wanted to sleep alone tonight, so we decided to keep you some company." Trunks finishing, motioning to everyone on the bed, and she could hear how he sounded like he was smiling slightly. She sighed and let her eyes slip shut as exhaustion overtook her mind. But then the thoughts starting filtering into her mind and she almost jumped from the bed. "Has anyone heard from our my dad or your dad?" Pan asked, she couldn't help herself, she had to know what was going on. Trunks shook his head no and Pan's heart fell in disappointment, "There are rumors though, going around through the guards. They're saying half the population is possessed and they're all out for my father's blood. They don't know how it started but..." Trunks paused, wondering if he should tell Pan this.
"What?" Pan asked quickly when Trunks trailed off, "Tell me!" She said impatiently.
"Well, this isn't one of the rumors going around, this is something that is a fact. Thox was found dead outside of town." Pan didn't know what to think, yeah, she had dated the guy but when he had cheated on her all her feelings for him disappeared. She didn't know what to feel, "How did he die?" She asked, but she felt like she already knew the answer, "He was murdered. Pan...they're saying it's like his power and life force were sucked right out of him." Pan shuddered at Trunks' words and the images that flashed through her mind. "So the wizard has come back?" She asked him and Trunks couldn't answer, "That's what they think it is. What else could it be?" Now it was Pan's turn to be silent. She scoffed in her head because it couldn't be anything else. They were dealing with that evil wizard once again.
Pan seemed to suddenly realize that Trunks was rubbing his fingers gently up and down her arm. He moved them softly across her collarbones before firmly resting his hand against her neck and sliding it up, up, up, to rest on her check before gliding his fingers through her hair. To say she was shocked would be an understatement because Trunks was touching her way too intimately and she didn't know what to think about it. He seemed to be doing it without thought and was bringing his fingers down the other arm, sweeping his hand across her flat stomach and starting it's path back up the arm he started with. His hand was on her cheek again and she was suddenly forced to look at his face, where her eyes were trapped by his and she couldn't make herself look away. Pan could practically feel the mood in the room shifting and morphing into a tense electricity and she knew Trunks was going to speak, "There's something I want to talk to you about but I think I should wait until this is all over with." Trunks said quietly.
"So you think we'll live through this?"
She knew her words startled him, but she knew he was aware that there was a possibility no one would come out alive. Trunks was just looking at her, staring deep into her eyes before his eyes fluttered downwards for the briefest of moments before returning to her eyes. Pan barely caught the movement, but she knew he had caught site of her lips. She fidgeted, trying to move away from Trunks but she found that her body was not responding to her brain. She tried to prepare herself for what came next, but she didn't think anything would've helped if she had been able to do something. Trunks' lips were now pressed against her own and it was the most perfect thing she had ever felt in her life. Trunks lips were so soft against her own and she almost died and went to heaven, with the feeling of his bottom lip between her own and his top lip partially covering her own top lip. She was opening her mouth at the same time he was, both of them breathing in deeply and she felt his tongue against hers for a split second before his lips closed over hers again and she immediately knew she wanted more. Pan wished her hand was not gripped so tightly in Bra's own so she could run her fingers through Trunks' hair. She wanted more contact from him, she wanted to be closer to him, touch every part of his body with hers but she lay there instead as he kissed her and she delicately kissed him back. She almost shook herself free of Bra before she realized she would rather not be caught kissing Trunks in a bed next to his sister. His kisses were so soft and gentle and they were driving Pan crazy. Trunks tongue was against her lips this time and Pan wanted nothing more than to continue kissing him and slip her tongue against his again, but by the time she was taking action, he was already stopping and pulling away before she could respond. The kiss seemed to be over almost as soon as it had begun and Trunks was looking at her again and Pan realized how tight he had his fist closed on the handful of hair he was gripping.
All Pan wanted to do was bring his lips back to her own and have his tongue touching hers again but that didn't happen and it disappointed Pan. Trunks didn't remove himself from her form, he stayed exactly where he was, loosening his hold on her hair to bring it down to her waist to hug her gently against him. Pan sighed, knowing Trunks wasn't going to say anything else and closed her eyes to sleep. She couldn't believe she had just kissed Trunks and it was better than it had been in her dream. She let a small smile grace her lips and before she knew it she was asleep.
