*Chapter 5*
Three years had passed since Gohan's death; Trunks and Pan were training hard, preparing themselves for the day when the androids would show themselves again. Trunks was now sixteen and Pan was twelve, there was not a day you didn't see them together, they had gotten close over the years.
"Purple boy!" Pan called to Trunks from the kitchen.
"Pan!" Trunks said with an annoyed look on his face, "How many times have I asked you to stop calling me that?"
"Okay Trunksie, My grandma said it's our turn to do the dishes," Pan said handing him a towel. "I wash, You dry."
Luckily for the both of them, there wasn't that many dishes. They could really pile up, especially when Trunks and Pan would finish their training in the gravity room, Trunks could really pig out after a hard day of training. Pan was glad she at least had a little more self-control.
After they were finished with the task at hand, they headed for the gravity room to train for the day, before they could even get in; they heard Bulma's voice from the Basement. "Trunks, could help me with a few boxes I need moved?!"
"Coming!" he told his mother, "Go ahead and do some warm ups and I'll be back," Trunks said as he headed for the basement.
Trunks walked down to the basement and found the boxes his mother wanted moved, "Hey mom what's shaking?" he asked grabbing a box, "Oh see you're still playing with your toy," he said give her an amused smile.
"I know you think I'm crazy darling, but people thought your grandfather was crazy but he became the greatest inventor in the world," said Bulma.
"Yeah, but Gramps wasn't trying to travel back in time, where would you like me to put these boxes, mom?"
"Over there on the table by the blueprints. Anyway your grandfather didn't have a good grasp of time anyhow, when he was working days seemed like minutes to him," Bulma said as she got up from her work and faced Trunks, "Where's your pioneering spirit anyway? Don't you want to help Goku defeat the androids?" Bulma asked.
"Yeah I guess, but do really think he can?" he asked kind of doubtful, if his father, the Z-Fighters and Gohan couldn't defeat the androids, what made his mother think Goku could?
"Oh yes, I truly believe if Goku hadn't have died from that awful heart virus, things wouldn't be as bad as they are right now. Hey, can you run an errand for me? I need a few parts for the time machine," Bulma asked giving him a list.
Trunks scanned through the list and gave his mother a smile, "Sure be back in a flash," he told her heading for the open window.
"Be careful!" she told him.
"No worries!" he said as he flew off.
Pan was getting impatient, how long did it take to move a few lousy boxes? She went down to basement to find Trunks and drag his butt back to the gravity chamber. Pan didn't find Trunks but Bulma working on the time machine.
"Hey Bulma, where did Trunks go?" Pan asked.
"Oh, hey Panny, I sent Trunks on some errands he should be back in a little while,"
"Oh," Pan said sitting on the table "Well I see the time machine coming along pretty nicely,"
"Yep, you and Trunks going have quite an adventure when you guys go to the past to give your grandfather the antidote for the heart virus," she said giving Pan a smile.
"I'm sorry Bulma, but I don't see how a bunch of dead people from the past are going help me and Trunks defeat the androids, when they couldn't even do it themselves."
Bulma was about to say something, when the music on the radio was cut off by a news broadcast.
ATTENTION: We interrupt this broadcast to bring you the latest news on android activity. Bridgetown is currently under attack, the southbound inner state is the only way out of the city that hasn't been destroyed. I repeat Bridgetown is under attack!
"That's pretty close," Pan said.
Bulma saw a look in Pan's eyes and she knew what the saiyan girl was up to, "I know, but you're not thinking of going are you?"
"Yes, I have to; I can't turn my back on those people, I'll be fine Bulma, I am a saiyan you know," Pan said.
"Yes, but so was you're father Pan, but that obviously wasn't enough, but if you think throwing your life away is going make Gohan happy, you're wrong!"
Pan was getting angry, what Bulma had said brought back the memory of that horrible night. "Shut up! Don't talk to me about my father! I knew him better than any of you, and I know he would never turn his back on those people, and neither am I." Pan yelled.
She headed for the open window and flew out towards Bridgetown.
"No Pan you can't! Come back!" Bulma streamed out the window, but it was too late, Pan was already far gone.
"This is it, it's time for revenge. Your death won't be in vain Papa, Pan said as she power up and with all her speed, headed for the broken city.
She found Seventeen and Eighteen Jumping around on cars.
"Hey are you ready to go now?" Eighteen asked Seventeen.
"Yeah I guess so," he answered.
"Good this is boring," Eighteen said as she and Seventeen started to walk away.
Just then Pan landed behind them, "How about experiencing your own deaths androids, how does that thrill you? It'll be your last joy ride!"
"You honestly believe I'm threatened by little kid like you?" Eighteen asked.
Eighteen flew at Pan and punch her in the face. Pan got back on her feet quickly and threw a few ki blasts at the female android, which Eighteen dodged with ease.
Pan tried punch the android but Eighteen grabbed Pan's hand and kicked her through a building, "Well she's dead," Seventeen said, "Too bad I would have liked to fight her
Suddenly Seventeen got punched in the face; he fell to the ground as Pan stood before him. "You want to fight I'm right here," Pan said powering up.
Seventeen got to his feet and threw an energy blast at Pan, it sent her flying. Seventeen and Eighteen threw mutable energy blasts at Pan; she dodged every blast and flew out of the dust the blasts had made, she kick Seventeen in gut sending him flying she then punched Eighteen in the face sending her flying after.
Pan flew up in the air charging her most powerful attack; she sent it straight at the androids making a huge crater. Pan thought she destroyed the androids, but when the dust finally cleared, she saw that they were unharmed. *What am I up against? This is insane,* Pan thought to herself.
"Common girly is that the best you got?!" Seventeen asked.
Pan threw more ki blasts at them with no prevail, Seventeen disappeared and reappeared beside Pan, he kicked her in the stomach and sent her crashing down.
"We really pissed this girl off somehow," Seventeen said to his twin as she landed beside him. He grabbed Pan by the back of her shirt to face him, "Would you mind telling us what it was?"
Pan Gritted her teeth and looked Seventeen dead in the face, "You killed my father you monsters, I swear I'll make you pay for it!" she said.
Seventeen looked at her closely as smile crossed his, "Ah yes now I see it, yeah I remember you. You're that blonde warrior's daughter aren't you?" Seventeen asked.
"Too bad daddy can't come save you anymore," Eighteen said laughing.
"Hey you want to know something?" Seventeen asked Pan. "The best part about killing you father was when he screamed in pain," Seventeen said smirking at the anger he saw on Pan's face "And we made sure it was long and extremely painful, Eighteen chimed in. both androids laughed as they saw tears coming down Pan face.
They stopped laughing when they felt Pan's energy spiking up, her hair was flashing from black to blonde and her eyes were changing color. She let out a piercing scream, and a yellow aura formed around Pan's body; the shear energy of it blew the androids a couple of feet away her. She clutched her fists as she let all her anger towards the androids go. She threw her head back as she screamed into the sky, her hair turned form black to blonde and her eyes from onix to teal.
"Well, would you look at that, she can turn blonde just like the other one," Seventeen said.
"Everyone's always trying to copy me," Eighteen said crossing her arms.
Both android came at Pan, she threw an energy blast at them and took to the air. The androids took to air as well as the battle commenced.
Meanwhile back at Capsule Corp:
Trunks had just arrived from his errands, "Mom I'm home," he yelled from the basement. Bulma came bolting down the stairs with Chichi right behind her. She hugged Trunks tightly as both women began taking really fast and panicky. Trunks couldn't understand a word they were saying, he put a hand on each woman's mouth, "Okay, calm down and tell me what's wrong… slowly," he said as he took his hands off their mouths.
"It's Pan!" Bulma said, "She went to go fight the androids!" Chichi said after.
Trunks' eyes widen in shock, "Where are they attacking?" Trunks asked. "In Bridgetown," Bulma told him.
without wasting a second, Trunks ran for the window, He went super and flew off.
Even as a super saiyan, Pan was still no Mach for the androids. They sent her flying through buildings, and threw her around like a rag doll. But she just kept getting back up.
"I got to give her credit, she's tougher than I thought," Eighteen said ki blasting the saiyan female into a public pool.
Pan got out of the pool, barely standing, Eighteen flew towards Pan grabbing her and throwing her Seventeen's way
Seventeen punted Pan in the back like a football sending her flying where Eighteen kneed her in the stomach, then punch her in the face sending her crashing down at Seventeen's feet.
"I think It's time we end this," Seventeen said "Say hello to Daddy for us, will you?" Seventeen said crushing Pan's head with his foot.
Pan was screaming from the pain, Seventeen kept his foot on Pan's head as Eighteen charged her blast. Before Eighteen could make her final move she was blasted away, all Seventeen saw was a fist ramming into his face before he crashed into a building.
Trunks scooped Pan up in his arms as he flew off; suppressing his energy, he headed in the direction of Capsule Corp.
