Chapter Twenty
Black eyes glistening with depths of dark blue diamonds that took in everything. A female warrior had fallen, a child left behind with rage. Another warrior fallen with a false victory as a mate stood side of him caring their child. Her soul on fire.
And so she stood, silent in a cry of protest, silent in a howl of wild unleashed anger. And so she stood, Chibi-Vegeta.
He struck again, Juunana-gou. Ripping apart the body of the dead one, his own Oneesan. Swallowing all her pure raw power, nothing left. A cry is let loose as she charged again, but it was soon ended.
A hand meets a face of once porcelain like features that will forever carry a scar of the one who she used to love. Juunana-gou back slapped down Marron, her body crumbled to the ground in defeat.
"Stop it! Now!" a child's voice broke the silence as Marron fell. A power being born like so many other had their first time, though this a dragon child.
"Enough of this, I have no time to deal with you Saiya-jins and humans. Pan will be mine. The game ends here, now!" Juunana-gou yelled with raw power. "And it will start with you, Chibi-Vegeta!" Juunana-gou hissed.
A finger pointed to signal the little ones death, a blast was made. A false Kaasama’s cry echoed.
"You will not claim me or take my child!" Pan yelled with heated anger, her insides tearing her in half. Images of him flashing in her mind, her friend, her enemy. Which is he now, what happened to him, and what will come of him.
Silence ran through her mind now, a faint voice in the back.
"Pan, no...he's stronger than you."
It was too late, she was gone. Preying on her predator before her child's eyes.
A beam of fire burning her hand as she slapped it, and the child wiped.
Her body ached, her mind tormented. Her body crushed against his, a power with in a creamy hand drove into his chest like a knife cutting open an old wound that has not healed yet.
Eyes of Persian blue blinked within pain and confusion. Something of once a heart torn between betrayal and anger broke out in a silent lash.
Her neck grabbed, burning with hotness from a fresh blast. Her body held up high as not one word was said between the two. His eyes fixed on hers. Her images of torment flashing brighter than ever glowed as he watched them with a twisting fear of pain. Everything sinking in slowly like simple prick to the skin with a needle sliding in further and further with an agonizing pain. "No...Pan-chan, what am I doing?" falling in agony he crumbled.
Her body dropped as all watched. Again that voice calling again but closer.
A child wiped behind its now Kaasama, no longer false. Her emotions seeking as to why Pan did that, her heart screaming to be held by her.
"Pan!" Her head turned, she had a single tear in her eye. "Stay away from me!" she yelled as he stopped. Trunks halted upon his mates cry of order, something was different. Her tear, only one. Her eyes softer, a glance of hope. "Juunana-gou, no he's back to his old self?" he whispered.
Pan turned back to him, Juunana-gou looking up at her in confusion. Kneeling on his knees, his hands before his face. "What have I done, what have I done!" he yelled with rage building up inside.
Pan took a step closer, "Juunana-gou, is that you old friend? she asked skeptical.
He looked at her, for one second she saw her friend then it changed. That wild cry of laughter broke again as the presence of evil took over again. Her face twisted in horror. It was too late this time. He had her again, on the ground. And chains from pure power locked on her skin, eating away her power and strength to a point of unconsciousness.
Trunks grabbed the still Chibi-Vegeta, her body frozen now as it was almost there.
"Chibi-Vegeta, stay away...Please live!.." Pan said in a last desperate cry.
"Mama, no!!!!......" she yelled her energy building, all other looking at her now. Her body fought to free herself from Trunks hold.
"She's transforming, the dragon is awakening now!" Bra yelled as she and Goten flew over to her with Gohan as Trunks went to take off after his fallen mate.
"Brat hold your place, think before you rush off !" Vegeta barked, his hand grabbing his Musuko shoulder, holding him back.
Gohan looking on in wonder and shock.
Vegeta and Goku stood there, "Sorry we’re late." his Tousama said with a cherry voice even in battle. Though it stopped, Eighteen was dead, Marron was almost there in joining her...Pan was down an out. Her ki fading.
That once child like feature harden, he dreaded this. Always too late, never in time. Was it written in stone that all in his heart would die? "We will see.." he said almost growling at the threat but it was a reality. Vegeta almost smiled as he watched this fool turn into something he would have never thought to see. A Saiya-jin of pure anger and hate.
Trunks eyes flashed again at Pan, he cursed his Tousama. "No, I will not wait. I am stronger." he said to himself as he blasted straight to Juunana-gou.
"Brat...you kill him you kill Pan! Unless you can undue the chains!" Vegeta threatened his Musuko but it was too late. His son was in his second stage of golden glory already, a fire burning in his heart. His power growing, his strength growing like nothing before.
Juunana-gou awaited above Pan, their move now Trunks. Death would come this time as one will die to end this battle. Juunana-gou smirked, but Trunks fist pounded into the same spot Pan hit. Juunana-gou hissed in pain.
Again he hit him, wanting to rip through him, again he hit him. Juunana-gou finally pulled away. His breathing uncontrolled, "No you will not kill me unless you want to kill Pan. Boy!" he spat in defeat.
Trunks cocked his head back to the other, Chibi Vegeta was still transforming.. "I have to wait to kill him until she is done, the other have to protect her. Pan can be brought back by her." Trunks contemplated.
"Trunks look out!" Goten yelled. Juunana-gou did not cease his chance, with one mighty ki he struck. Trunks face turned right into it. He could feel it pushing him, burning him, yet not kill him. "Pan.."
Trunks fell to the ground, as Juunana-gou struck again. Marron could feel the ground radial before her. Her eyes squinting open, tears stained with blood. Slowly she crawled over to the spot, "Trunks... you have to get up. You can kill him." she said slowly as it almost hurt to breath. Grabbing him by the top of his black tank top.
"No, Pan will die if he dies.." he said back.
Gohan jumped in holding off Juunana-gou as he tried to attack Chibi-Vegeta. "We have to keep him away from her!" he yelled as Bra and Goten took their stance around the child in the air. Vegeta and Goku rushing over to where Marron an Trunks lay.
Pan's eyes shot open, her soul on fire; burning brighter than ever. She pushed again, "Trunks don't you die on me!" she whispered...her body pushing up against the chains, barely keeping her eyes open. She was being crushed alive.
Marron looked over at her, she started to fall again; her eyes sliding shut. "Pan No!" she yelled taking hold of Trunks rising to the air with everything she had. Finally she did it, she kissed him.
Pan's eyes shot open with quickness, Marron and Trunks in the air as they kissed. That was all she needed. Her back arching, burning, stabbing, dieing, and cold.. All those things convoluting her into a storming rage. The tank, dark and alone and cold. Dieing, now dieing of a burning fire.
She yelled with rage. "Ahh..." her body arose all looking at. Marron smiled, Pan is back. With that last thought she fell to the ground with Trunks. Vegeta and Goku catching them.
"Juunana-gou, your time ends now!" Pan yelled with a fatal fury that would mark the end to all of this. Gohan pulled back from midair as he and Juunana-gou looked at Pan's rising form.
She charged with great speed, her fist tearing across his face, her foot clamping into his midsection, again an again he stumbled back. Laughter came from his lips as stopped, his batter and broken form hanging on for dear life.
"You can't kill me, admit it! You could have already done but you have not. Your still holding back on the thought of me being myself again." he laughed, blood splattering on Pan. She froze, he was right. She could have, but why hasn't she? Did he really have that power over her, that friendship that she yearned for all those years ago, all those adventures, just someone that would understand her. Treat her the same. It was him who did.
"Forgive me old friend, I truly will miss you." she whispered at him, her body pulling him against her. She held him for a second, tears staining her beaten face, dirt and blood entangling her hair.
He locked his eyes into hers, the redness gone again. Just pure Persian blue seeking out again, he was back. But for how long? Pan smiled slightly at him, she knew it.
"Pan do it now, I will forgive you. Just let me kiss you one more time, as me for I truly did fall in love with you."
A tear was shed, a kiss was shared. A callused hand held a face, forgiveness was made.
She struck, her hand wrapped around from the back, a quick death was held. "Never forget me, my dear little Pan-chan."
The earth shook, the dragon was born. A child that was once small was grown, her body and face a goddess. Her power like a god. Her heart pure as white snow.
Pan fell to the ground as Gohan caught her, cradling her into his arms.
"Chibi-Vegeta!" a male shouted, Vegeta stood in shock. His child, this child was here before him. A smile was placed across his face. She looked at him, her smile graceful as she knew what she needed to do.
Her hands held out, seven small purple dragon balls floated around her before landing in a neat circle on the ground. Her arms up, the balls glowed and a wish was made. Her voice song out in old Saiya-jin-go language as she spoke the words. And it was done.
"Let this city stand again with it's fullest glory to mark the day of it's rebirth an all those who where slain by the hands of the two warriors. Juunana-gou and Goten. I am the dragon child!"
The earth was re-shaped as her power engulfed everything, her words and power spoke the truth of her power. Everything was back, everyone was back but one.
"What about Juunana-gou Chibi-Vegeta?" Goku asked, his mind peering into hers. Such purity blinding him into his fallen stance. "Goku, grandfather to my Kaasama. You should know better than to peer into the mind of a goddess who has the power of a god, but with such a pure heart I will allow it." she said back to him
The others stood and watched as Goku was on his knees and eyes closed. Vegeta almost snickered at the thought of his child taking down "the mighty Goku."
Goku looked around him, Pan was thrashing in her Tousama’s arms. Her voice welling out like a child. No she was still a child, a child of sixteen who just killed her friend. He knew, she told him of all the adventures they had so long ago.
"I see what you wish for… you do not have to speak." Chibi-Vegeta spoke to him out loud. And it was done. A child was born of raven hair and the same Persian blue eyes. A tiny child wrapped in white cloth that was held by the arms of his Oneesan. The one he slain for a raging hungry power need.
"The warrior Juunana-gou shall be reborn but a child. I am the dragon child!" the purple balls glowed again, shooting the power up around her. Now they were gone and so was she.
The once goddess now child sleeps in the arms of a false Tousama. The battle was over, though the war was never over. There will come a time again where the story will be repeated.
One warrior must fall before another rises to win victory over evil to only have that same evil be reborn again in another form.
The End
