A/N - This is definitely the last chapter for a bit since I'm still working on chapter seven but I'm starting to get back into writing so I don't think it will be that long. Let me know what you think. :)

Previously on Dragon Ball C...

"There's going to be a lot of fighting when we get to Namek so you might as well rest up, because I don't think we can keep you out of it"

"...Okay, I'll stay out of training today..."

With Pan missing out on more training Gohan worries how she'll fare when they make it to Namek.

"Maybe it was a bad idea to bring her with us, we should have turned the ship around and taken her home"

"Well, it's too late now"

Regretting bringing her along with them, the Z-Warriors prepare for their landing as they enter planet Nameks stratosphere. Find out what they'll discover on Namek today...

Chapter Six - Planet Namek

Everything was quiet on the ship today, it was the end of their two day journey and any minute now they'd be preparing for their descent on planet Namek. Right now everyone was in the kitchen sat at the table eating except for Vegeta who was leaning against one of the walls at the far side of the room, refusing to join in on their conversation.

"I'm telling you the truth, I really did see a weird spaceship heading away from where we're heading now" Goten assured them all, annoyed that no one was taking him seriously.

"That doesn't mean they came from Namek, besides if they were Namekians we'd have sensed them or they would've sensed us and made their way over here to ask us for help. Me, Gohan and Vegeta have been to Namek before so they'd be familiar with our power level" Piccolo informed him, not quite sure what to think about what Goten saw.

"Besides, if someone's attacking the planet I doubt they'd let some of them escape that easily, I think they'd notice if a big ship took off into space" Trunks added after he thought about it. Goten remained quiet and sulked, not happy that even his best friend didn't find anything off about it.

Pan frowned slightly, wondering something. "So if they're not Nameki-thingys then does that mean it's those people who are attacking that planet?" The others thought about it for a moment, that was a good question, was it them? Did they know they were coming to stop them?

"Let's not worry about that right now Panny, why don't you finish your breakfast while we wait for the ship to get to Namek?" Gohan said soothingly, not wanting her to worry that the enemy could be on to them already. He also wanted to forget about it, still feeling uncomfortable that she was going with them despite all his best efforts to be fine with her being here.

Still feeling slightly uneasy about the ship Uncle Goten saw, she went back to eating her breakfast although she didn't really have much of an appetite now.

Nobody said anything after that, deciding that since the ship had continued on it's journey away from them and hadn't caused them trouble it didn't seem like anything to worry about, of course that didn't stop the feeling everyone had that something bad was going to happen.

"Vegeta what do you think about that ship?" Piccolo asked, not being able to let the conversation drop just yet.

"If you believe anything that Goten said he saw then you're an idiot" Vegeta answered simply, his voice carefree and untroubled.

"Humph, I don't see how you can stand all high and mighty when you're wearing a black eye from a five year old girl" he countered, smirking at the saiyan prince with his arms folded. This caused Goten and Trunks to double over in laughter while Gohan tried to keep his facial expression impassive - struggling to hold down his own laughter.

Vegeta glared at Piccolo, then at Goten and Trunks, finally setting his glare onto Pan who was staring at him sheepishly while twiddling her fingers and swinging her legs back and forth.

"Hi" she whispered in a friendly tone, not quite knowing what to say to him right now, she just hoped that he didn't hold a grudge against her. To her it was a bad idea to get on Vegeta's bad side.

Ignoring Pan's greeting Vegeta harrumphed then turned away from them, having had enough of them all. He made sure his black eye wasn't made visible to them by having his back to them which meant he was facing one of the walls.

The ship was finally beginning it's landing which meant that it was the end of their training, so as soon as it landed they all had to be prepared for anything because they couldn't afford to lose on this mission, especially since they could very well lose their lives.

Everyone was sat at the front of the ship in the control room with their seatbelts securely fastened on, with the ship speeding down towards the ground they had to have them on, otherwise the alternative would be going 'splat' against the ceiling which no one quite fancied.

Goten was fussing over the speed they were going, frightened he was going to die before they even landed. No one could really hear him though (due to the wind rushing to their faces making their eyes water) except Vegeta who had lucked out at getting a seat anywhere but near him, so now Vegeta was hoping that Goten did die from this, that way he wouldn't have to continue listening to his whining.

Pan seemed to be having a blast, sure the wind whipping against her face hurt and her eyes were watering, but this was an adventure, they were about to land on another planet and she'd never been away from Earth before. She was over the moon with everything that was happening, even if it did sting a little.

Soon the ship slowed down it's descent before stopping all-together, landing safely on the Namek soil. A brief message on the screen told them they had successfully landed and the surrounding area was safe, which caused Gohan to sigh in relief, he could keep Pan out of danger for a bit longer.

Unfastening their seatbelts they all stood up on shaky legs and stretched, satisfied that they weren't being pulled upwards anymore. Goten went back to his usually cheerful self as he realised that he could finally leave the ship, but as luck would have it, he wasn't leaving without a bump on his head from Vegeta who stalked past him afterwards, glad to finally be away from him.

Pan laughed at her uncle as he continued to moan and rub his head, wincing as he felt a large lump that resembled a golf ball. She watched as Trunks came over to him with a look of curiosity drawn on his face, he stared at the bump for a few seconds before taking his hand out of his pocket and prodding it, causing Goten to yelp, loudly.

"Quit messing around you two, we're in enemy territory now" Gohan ordered, glaring at them both. Trunks began to apologize while Goten huffed and folded his arms across his chest, not happy with the fact that him being prodded by Trunks was somehow his fault as well.

"So...Daddy, where are we going first?" Pan asked excitedly, slinging her little backpack onto her shoulders.

"Well, Vegeta, Piccolo and I are going to all the villages on this planet to search for any survivors. You're staying here" Gohan answered, then moved past her to talk to Piccolo who was standing by the ships door.

"Why can't I go with you?" she whined miserably. What good was going to another planet if you couldn't even go and explore it? She really didn't want to spend the whole mission stuck on the ship, she wanted to be out on the front lines, to take part in the fighting.

"Trust me Pan, you don't want to go to the villages with us, you won't see anything good there" he warned her, taking on a serious tone. He was still facing away from her, in the direction of Piccolo who nodded in agreement to what he'd been saying.

Pan was going to complain some more about it, but upon seeing the looks on Uncle Goten and Trunks faces decided against it. Their goofy grins were gone, replaced with a sombre expression, like they knew what the others would find once they got there.

"Listen to me" Gohan turned around then knelt down in front of his daughter and placed his hands on her tiny shoulders, "You can't go with us to go out searching, but I promise you when we come back you can help out with what we do next. Okay?"

Pan had stopped listening the moment he'd promised she could help with the next part of the mission, whatever that was. She began jumping up and down while shouting 'Yey' after every jump. She paused to find out if he really meant it.

"Really?" she squeaked uncertainly.

"Of course"

Knowing that she was definitely going to be taking part in this mission, Pan went back to jumping up and down in the air causing her dad to roll his eyes at her then stand up and head back over to Piccolo so they could talk about who was searching where.

"I take it Vegeta already left?" Gohan asked, knowing the answer to his own question. He didn't bother sensing for Vegeta, he knew he wasn't on the ship anymore. Piccolo just nodded his head to answer Gohan's question, not surprised in the slightest that Vegeta would leave without them.

"Hey Piccolo? Are you sure you're okay searching through the villages for any survivors? I know you didn't grow up on this planet, but these are your people".

"I'm fine Gohan, it's not the first time I've seen dead Namekians. Besides we don't have much time for only you and Vegeta to go searching, so don't worry about me".

"Wait a minute" Goten interrupted, moving away from his best friend to stand closer to them. "Piccolo you just said and I quote, 'we don't have much time for only you and Vegeta to go searching', well what about me and Trunks, don't we count?"

"Yeah, what about us?" Trunks jumped in, feeling invisible.

Gohan and Piccolo shared a look with each other, were they really that thick? The two in question didn't seem to have noticed the shared look, but if they did they didn't say anything.

"Well I thought it would be obvious since I've mentioned the three of us going and Pan staying on the ship" Gohan pointed out, trying to let them get there themselves, but there answers proved they wouldn't be getting there any time soon.

"..."

"...Uhm..."

"You'll be staying on the ship with Pan, geez did you think I was going to leave her here alone?" he almost shouted at them, only just managing to get his words to come out a little softer.

"Oh!" Trunks exclaimed, finally getting it.

"Right, got it" Goten assured them.

"I have to be babysat?" Pan complained, not happy that her dad had told them they were staying so they could look after her.

"You're not being babysat, it's a precaution just in case someone notices our ship and looks to see if anyone's inside. This way if I leave them with you, the bad guys will be more interested in fighting them that you should be left alone" Gohan explained to her although he doubted she knew what the word precaution meant.

"Humph, I don't need protecting!"

"Of course you do, you're five"

He watched as she began sulking from what he'd said, she was pouting at him and had her arms folded again. Gohan thought she looked so cute when she did that, but refrained from actually saying that. She was trying to be mad at him and the last thing she needed was for him not to be intimidated by her.

What he'd said was true though, she was a child and she needed protection. No normal five year old would fight against full grown men to prepare themselves for a real fight against full grown enemies. So really she should be thanking him for looking out for her, not sulking and being mad at him.

Gohan was going to voice what he'd been thinking but he didn't get a chance to, Piccolo had pushed off from leaning on the wall and tapped him on his shoulder, drawing his attention away from Pan.

"Sorry Gohan but we have to go, we can't afford to waste any more time" saying bye to the ones who were staying behind, Piccolo removed his hand from Gohan's shoulder and headed out of the ship, not looking back.

Gohan waited a minute, a bit hesitant...okay a lot hesitant to leave his daughter. But he knew Piccolo was right, they really couldn't waste more time than they already had, otherwise they'd have no chance at finding any survivors. He turned back to Pan and gave her a reassuring smile before giving her a hug goodbye.

"Stay in the ship and try not to make too much noise, you don't want to draw attention to yourself. If someone enters the ship I want you to hide, you got that? Leave the fighting to your uncle and Trunks" he held her tighter, worried something was going to happen to her and he'd never see her again. "Please stay safe" he begged as he released her and stood back up, he walked over to the door saying a quick bye to Goten and Trunks.

He didn't say anything more to Pan, he didn't even turn back to look at her, he was afraid that if he did he would end up staying behind or taking her with him, and he knew he couldn't do either of those. Ignoring Pan's words as she called out to him, he left the ship, with the door closing up as he stepped onto the sand-covered ground.

"...Be careful Daddy" Pan whispered even though she knew he couldn't hear her anymore. She stared at the door her father had gone through a few seconds before, tears spilling down her face, wondering if she would ever see him again.

As Gohan and Piccolo took off away from the ship in different directions five figures moved out of hiding, they'd been watching them ever since the ship had landed and made sure to wait until the strongest of them had left, leaving the weaker ones unprotected.

"So I guess the information we received was correct after all" the tallest one of the group started.

"There was a ship heading to this planet, though I still don't understand why harburn's squad didn't take care of this ship when they spotted it a few days ago" a female voice spoke up, the only female in the group.

"Who cares, let's just take them out now and kill them whil-" this came from the masculine one of the group, judging from the sound of his voice he didn't appear all that bright.

"-No" the smallest one cut in, clearly he was the one in charge because the moment he'd cut into what the bulky one had been saying, he fell silent at once. "You know our orders, we're to take them in alive. That's why we're starting with the weakest first, so they won't get in the way when we go after the other three" he explained slowly so they'd all understand.

"So when are we going to attack?" The female asked, quirking her eyebrow slightly. The leader waited a moment before replying, hoping that his answer wouldn't cause more questions to come from their mouth's.

The only one who had remained quite through this was the thin man in a mask, who was stood away from them all with his arms folded and head hung low. He was the only one in their group who freaked him out, so he hoped the answer he gave would suffice.

"Soon".

Vegeta had been to three different villages so far and all of them had been the same, there were dead Namekians everywhere, most were barely recognisable and at first it had taken him a while to realise they were Namekians in the first place, now he could tell straight away, having seen so many by the end of the third village.

A lot of the buildings had been destroyed as well, Vegeta figured the ones who did this probably destroyed them just for sport, he couldn't think of a reason as to another explanation. 'Maybe they had decided to have a little fun by shooting blasts at the buildings and scaring them' Vegeta thought, trying to work everything out.

He didn't really care about what happened here, not that he was heartless, he just didn't know anyone here who he considered worthy enough to receive his concern and who he'd be upset about dying.

The only thing he was thinking about was meeting the one who orchestrated all this, he wanted so badly to fight him, that was his whole reasoning for being here. But since he hadn't found him yet he'd decided to help the others out by looking for any Namekians who were alive, although he thought it was near to impossible finding anyone alive here.

Looking ahead he saw another village in the distance and judging by the black smoke billowing from there he didn't have much hope of finding any, the place looked a complete wreck and he hadn't even landed there yet.

He descended down from the air, landing softly in the middle of the village. If he thought it looked a complete wreck from the air, then he had no idea how to describe the place from the ground. This was by far the worst one he'd come to yet.

Broken buildings lay crumbled all around with dead Namekians squished underneath them, the few bits of structure that remained standing were emblazed in flames, burning fiercely and blackening the structure, scorch marks stretching through half the village. Bodies littered the floor and it seemed like this village mostly held children, with the odd adult here and there. It was so bad that even Vegeta found himself feeling slightly queasy from it all, sure he'd done bad things in the past, but this made his stuff seem quite tame.

He didn't really want to stay here much longer so he decided to look around, the sooner he checked for anyone alive the sooner he could move on to the next village which he actually couldn't wait for.

Moving through the wreckage - being careful to avoid accidentally stepping on the fallen bodies - he scanned the area bit by bit, not wanting to go too quick in case he missed something like a Namekian moving slightly. But no movement was seen anywhere, everything was still except for the flames and smoke.

Cursing after coming out of the village empty-handed, he looked back to take one last look before setting off to another village. 'Maybe the others are having better luck than me' Vegeta wondered while taking off back into the sky in search of the next village.

Piccolo exited the broken building he'd gone into earlier to see if there were any Namekians hiding in their house, too afraid to come out, but it was empty, meaning the Nameks in front of the house that lay dead were the only occupants living here.

He clenched his fists in anger, maybe he wasn't so okay with doing this. Sure he didn't grow up on this planet but these were still his people, he was one of them and looking at his home planet in shambles and seeing dead Namekians everywhere made his blood boil. He really wanted to find out why they were being attacked.

He'd lost count of all the villages he'd been to, not that it mattered since so far he hadn't found one single survivor. Was the enemy that merciless that he wouldn't allow even one Namek to live?

Not for the first time, he wondered how different things could have turned out had he been here to help, would he have been able to make a difference?

At times like these he regretted not going back to live on his home planet, defending them when someone attacked and training them so they could defend themselves if he couldn't get to them in time.

Sometimes he felt like he made the wrong decision by staying on Earth, he knew he hadn't of course, he'd helped save Earth multiple times now and along the way he'd made a family. But he thought that it was his responsibility to protect Namek since he was one of their fighters, and he'd failed to do that and because of that innocent people had died.

Deciding that worrying and regretting wouldn't get him anywhere he continued searching the village he was in, this one actually wasn't that bad. He couldn't see any Namekians that were alive, but it looked as though the village as a whole hadn't been too badly damaged.

Piccolo was relieved by that, that meant that when they use the dragon balls to revive everyone on Namek later not much work would need doing in regards to repairs.

It was that thought that made him feel better about things, no matter how many people had died during the attack they would all be alive again soon enough. But before any of that could happen they needed to take care of the problem, the one who did this.

Continuing the search, he explored the rest of the village, checking inside buildings, moving pieces of rubble aside in case a Namekian was underneath them. He was slowly beginning to lose faith that he would ever find anyone as he kept drawing a blank wherever he looked.

"Gohan, please tell me you're having better luck than I am" Piccolo said aloud to himself, staring up at the sky.

It appeared that out of the three of them, Gohan seemed to be having the worst luck compared to the others. All the villages he'd been to so far were so bad that you couldn't even tell they used to be villages. Every building and home looked as if they'd been blown to pieces, scattered in all directions.

There was too much rubble everywhere that it was hard to tell if there was any Namekians around at all, dead or alive. It didn't help that a few of the villages were covered in thick dark smoke as the broken buildings were all alight.

He'd spent hours searching through each village, trying to take his time doing a detailed search. At one point he thought he'd finally found a surviving Namek, there'd been small movement underneath a wooden plank near him. But after lifting the plank up he found that it was just a frog.

He figured he should be relieved that at least the frog survived, but it wasn't exactly what he had been hoping to find. After that his mood had dampened considerably, this was hopeless, in all honesty he didn't think any of them would find a survivor.

The only good thing about their journey so far was that they'd landed on the planet completely undetected and Gohan hadn't come across any enemies yet, hopefully neither had Vegeta or Piccolo.

He was slightly worried about Pan, he didn't like the idea of leaving her with someone else while he went off searching. He trusted Goten and Trunks and knew they wouldn't let anything happen to Pan, but since he wasn't there with her he kept wondering if she was okay, was she safe?

Ignoring all those thoughts playing in his head, Gohan decided to head to the next village, all the while thinking about something else that was troubling him and had been troubling him for awhile now. 'Why haven't I come across an enemy yet? I've been searching the planet for hours now and it's strange that I haven't seen a single one. It seems like they attacked the Namekians and then left the planet, but they can't have...unless, they were on the ship that Goten said he saw leaving from here?' Gohan thought to himself.

"But that doesn't make any sense, why would they come here just to kill Nameks and then leave? There has to be a reason" he sped up, hoping to find some answers in the next village because that was the last one on the part of the planet he was searching.

If he drew a blank there as well then it would have to be up to Vegeta and Piccolo to find things out from the rest of their villages they were searching.

Pan was bored. Her dad and the others had been gone for a long time, she thought they'd only be gone for an hour at the most, although...she couldn't really tell the time, so maybe it had only been an hour and she was just over exaggerating. She doubted she was wrong though.

It had been fun for a little bit, hanging out on the ship with her uncle and Trunks, but then it got boring after awhile. There was only so much you could do on a parked ship and she wasn't allowed outside so...

Right now she was sat down on the floor, sitting crossed legged and drawing a pretty picture on the ship's floor. Bulma wasn't going to be happy about this.

"Hey Pan why don't we play a game?" Goten called out to her, she looked up at him with a questioning look.

"What kind of game?"

"I dunno, how about we play hide and seek again?"

"But we've played that three times already" Pan whined exasperatedly, why did she have to have such a lame uncle?

"Aww don't complain Panny" Trunks said, joining in on the conversation, "We're all bored. Let's think of a game we could play that we haven't done yet". They all sat there and thought about it, most of the games that they could play they'd already played so there wasn't a lot of options left, if any.

"I know, how about duck duck goose?" Goten suggested excitedly. Both Pan and Trunks just stared at him with raised eyebrows, they figured nothing needed to be said to that but it appeared Goten wasn't getting the hint behind their looks.

"Even I'm too old for that game" Pan explained to him, watching as he dipped his head low and his smiled dropped a little. 'Why does nobody ever like my ideas?' Goten thought to himself miserably.

They both started laughing at him, finally finding some entertainment. It didn't last long though, they heard a noise outside that sounded like the snap of a twig, it silenced all of them at once except Pan who didn't know why they had stopped because of a tiny noise.

"What was that?" Trunks asked, his carefree attitude disappearing all of a sudden.

"What do you mean Trunks?" Pan questioned worriedly, she'd never seen him like this, his demeanour had completely changed and the seriousness of his facial expression scared her a little.

"There's someone outside" Goten answered for her, also wearing the same look as Trunks. They were both staring at the ship door intensely, like they were expecting something to happen.

"Pan?" Trunks addressed her but didn't take his eyes from the door. "I need you to hide okay? See that ventilation shaft over by the window, the grey rectangle with slits. I want you to open it then crawl into that space and move a bit to the right once you've reattached the rectangle to where it was. It doesn't lead to anywhere but if you stay hidden in there no one will see you, got that?"

"Yeah I think I do" Pan responded, hoping it wouldn't be as complicated as he was making it sound, but she still didn't understand what was happening, her uncle had said there was someone outside.

"Good, then go there now and hide-"

"I don't think so"

A male voice interrupted, and a second later a blur flew past Trunks and Goten, stopping just behind Pan whose eyes widened as she felt a hand grip her shoulder, tight.

"W-What!?" both Goten and Trunks managed to sputter out, dumbfounded that they barely saw the person who'd shot past them. They looked at Pan and realised the man was stood behind her to stop her from getting to a safe hiding spot, not that it mattered now anyway, even if she did get there it wouldn't keep her safe now.

"Get away from Pan!" Goten shouted at the man who was draped in a black cloak with the hood covering his face.

"Or what?" the man asked simply.

"Or we'll make you"

"My that's big words coming from children, forgive me if I don't feel all that threatened"

Goten glared at him, this guy was really annoying him. They had to get him away from Pan at all costs, if they distracted him long enough she could escape from the ship and head over to Gohan. They seemed to be thinking along the same lines as each other, nodding to one another they both charged at the small man, ready to fight.

The man released his grip on Pan and went to meet them, after a few seconds they collided into each other and Pan could only watch as the fight began.

Goten aimed a punch at the man but it was easily blocked with his arm, he threw another punch in with the other arm and again it was blocked. Trunks jumped in by shooting a knee into the enemies stomach and was surprised that it had little to no effect on him at all.

The man took the opportunity to attack while they were still confused, he elbowed Trunks in the face who didn't have time to dodge and was sent sprawling, then he sent an upper-cut to Goten's chin and he was lifted off his feet slightly dazed.

The man threw a strong punch into Goten's stomach that caused him to double over, he then grabbed a hold of his hair and slung him into the wall behind him causing the wall to crack and Goten to go through it.

Trunks appeared behind the man and tried a surprise attack, he sent a kick towards him but the man faded out making the kick only hit air. He retracted his leg and looked around, he couldn't see the man anywhere and for some reason he couldn't sense him either.

Just then he heard a noise to his left, he turned ready to attack but met a fist as it crashed into his face, knocking him off his feet. He could taste blood in his mouth and could feel it running down to his chin, wiping the blood away with his sleeve he stood up, or tried to. He didn't get a chance as a foot hammered into his ribs, he heard a crack and knew some of them had been broken.

The man continued kicking Trunks in the ribs, not letting up. Each kick sent a wave of pain washing through him and he didn't have an opening to attack yet.

Getting bored of Trunk's moaning the man decided to knock him out, he sent a karate chop to the back of Trunks neck but before it landed something had knocked the man off his feet, sliding him across the floor away from Trunks.

He sat up and looked around, confused. But his confusion cleared when he saw Goten stood next to Trunks, his hair yellowy golden and standing on end. He helped Trunks get back on his feet then Trunks powered up to a super saiyan as well, taking on the same hair colour as Goten.

"Alright who are you?" Trunks asked, watching as the man got back to his feet, dusting himself off.

"I don't really think that's important right now" he responded nonchalantly. This didn't seem to please them because a minute after he'd given his answer they went in for another attack, they both sent barrages of punches at the man who was dodging and blocking and not having any time to counter.

"Pan quick get out of here!" Goten shouted urgently while continuing with his attacks, worried that if he let up for even a second she wouldn't get the chance she needed to escape.

"We'll hold him off" Trunks told her.

"But...I..." Pan didn't know what to do, there was no way she could be of any help if her uncle and Trunks were having trouble with him, but she didn't want to leave them.

"Go ahead Pan, I won't stop you" The man assured her while blocking all the punches thrown his way. Not waiting around in case he changed his mind Pan ran for the exit, if she could get to her dad or Piccolo or Vegeta then she could tell them about what's happening on the ship.

She made it to the ship door and quickly glanced back to see what was happening, then she turned around and ran, intending to go outside, but instead running into something and falling backwards onto the floor.

"Ow!"Pan moaned out loud rubbing her head, she looked up to find four people stood in the doorway, laughing at her.

"But they will" he added in a cheery tone. Goten and Trunks cursed, he wasn't alone. They stopped with their onslaught of attacks and tried getting to Pan, the four people in the doorway were heading towards her and they had to be there to stop them.

"Where do you think you're going?" the man's voice asked from behind Goten, his breath on Goten's neck causing the hairs to stand up. Before he could do anything Goten was pinned down, slamming hard into the ground.

The man grabbed his right arm and twisted it until there was a loud snap and Goten cried out in pain, he let go of his arm and let it fall back to the floor at an odd angle.

"Goten!" Trunks shouted to his friend, he went to attack the man as he was still pinning Goten to the ground. "Why you..." his words were cut short as an arm stretched out in front of him, he didn't have time to slow down and his neck connected with the arm causing his legs to go out from under him, he was laying on his back gagging for air.

"He's a feisty one isn't he?" the large bulky one commented, looking down at the saiyan, a look of curiosity on his stupid face.

"Wait let me go!" Pan screamed, Goten could see that the female of the group had hold of Pan. He tried getting up but the man kept him where he was.

"So, what do we do now?" the tallest one asked, he seemed bored with everything and sounded as though he just wanted to turn around and leave.

Goten and Trunks looked at them all, really taking in their appearances for the first time, and noticed that all of them were wearing the same dark black cloaks with the hood covering each of their faces. Who were these guys?

"Isn't it obvious? We take them with us" the leader replied, motioning for the muscular one to keep Goten pinned down while he walked over to Pan and took her from the female.

"You can have that one, he's heavier" he pointed towards Trunks who was trying to stand up, it was proving difficult with the effects of his broken ribs. The female huffed and folded her arms, then wandered over to the half-saiyan and stomped her high-heeled boot into his stomach to stop him from moving, which had the desired effect.

"Wait!" Goten called out, addressing the man who had hold of Pan, "She's just a kid, leave her and just take us"

"How noble of you, but our orders are to take you all, no exceptions. I'm sure when the other three who left awhile ago get back and realise you've been captured they'll come looking for you, which will actually save us some time" the leader told them, happy that it wouldn't be that long before they had all six of them.

"What other three? We came here alone" Trunks quickly blurted out, hoping they'd believe him.

"If you say so. Let's go before they come back, we can't risk the chance of losing the three we have"

Obeying the orders the leader gave, they all headed towards the exit, the man going first with Pan in his grasp.

"Pan!" Goten shouted, watching as she was being taken away.

"Let go of me" Pan demanded, struggling to break free from his grip. The man kept tight hold of her and continued making his way over to the ship's door, the other four following behind him, one dragging Trunks, the other dragging Goten.

Chapter 7 - A Promise Is Made, is going to be uploaded in... maybe 2 weeks, less than that if I can get it finished in time. :)
