A Warrior's Quest

Part Five: The Beginning of  The End?

Pan, Chichi and Videl were in charge of the cooking on the ship while Goku, Gohan, Mirai Trunks and Yahmcha  were in charge of the cleaning. Pan was also in charge of repairs on the ship.  It didn't please the guys, but if it kept the women happy, they'd do it.

Videl and Chichi were making lunch for themselves (the men had already eaten) and Pan was making minor repairs to the gravity room when the proximity alarm went off. 

Pan rushed to the controls and typed in the code that shut the alarm off. Then she checked the status of the approaching ship. 'Tru-chan, I want you to hide Kaasan and Baasan in the place I showed you earlier. We've got trouble,' she said silently, frowning.

Mirai Trunks stopped what he was doing (mopping the bathroom floors) in alarm. 'What kind of trouble?' he asked.

'Trouble of the Saiya-jin kind. It's a Saiya-jin ship, a newer model, and it's carrying about a hundred warriors,' Pan replied, her eyes scanning the screen for the information. 

Videl and Chichi couldn't understand what Pan was looking at. All they saw was a screen full of funny and weird symbols, nothing they recognised.

'Do the others know what's on the ship?' Mirai Trunks asked as he headed towards the controls.

'Lie. The controls of this ship have been programed to display everything in Saiya-go  so they can't understand anything. Just hurry up and hide them!' Pan said urgently. She typed in a few commands and ran to where she knew the men were. "We've got trouble," she announced when she found them playing video games in Yahmcha's room.

The three men looked up. "What kind of trouble?" they asked in unison.

"About a hundred Saiya-jin warriors getting ready to board this ship," Pan replied. She had to smile when they jumped to their feet in a panic.

"What about Videl-san and Chichi-san?" Yahmcha asked.

"Tru-chan is hiding them away in a place only he and I know about. Now get off your butts and get ready to fight. These people don't have friendship in mind," Pan said curtly and ran from the room. She made her way to her room and grabbed the sword Mirai Trunks had given her. She put the sheath on her back and slid the sword inside it. 'Time for battle,' she told her mate.

Mirai Trunks walked into the room and grabbed his sword as well, strapping it on. "Let's go and join the others," he said.

They walked down the hallways to the ship's airlock and waited with the men for their enemies to board.

Pan clutched Mirai Trunks' hand as the airlock opened before she dropped into a fighting stance. Her teeth were bared. She was ready to do battle.
