A Warrior's Quest Part Six: Third Object Taken Videl and Chichi huddled in the place Mirai Trunks had hidden them. They could hear and basically see everything that went on outside their hiding place. They were scared. Videl wrapped her arms around her swollen stomach protectively while Chichi tried to be brave, believing that their husbands would save them. ************ A robot was the first off the ship. It passed a blue-green light over them and made a few chirps and beeps before going back the way it had come. Pan didn't like that. "What was that?" Yahmcha asked Pan. "A scanner robot. It takes readings on race, power level and status," Pan replied. "Next will come a 'welcoming party' and then will come the rest of the warriors." A few burly Saiya-jins stepped off the ship and looked at the five in front of tem with sneers on their faces. "This is what we must face? When the robot said that there were three demi-Saiya-jins, one full Saiya-jin and one native from Chikyuu on this ship, I had expected something more than five pathetic wimps," the apparent leader said. Goku, Gohan, Mirai Trunks and Yahmcha didn't have a clue what had been said and looked at Pan expectantly. "We are anything but wimps," Pan said. "Now you on the other hand, are definately a wimp. As are your commerades." She quickly told Mirai Trunks what the warriors had said and what her reponse had been, trusting him to relay it to the others. Mirai Trunks and the others smothered grins at the expressions of the insulted warriors. "Who are you to insult us Woman? You could be crushed with ease beneath one of my fists," the leader said. Pan smirked. "I don't think so. I'd be the one crushing you," she replied. The guys looked at each other while Pan talked. They had no clue what Pan was saying, but they could see and sense that her words were having an un-nerving effect on the warriors. "Why don't the males speak?" a warrior asked. "They don't speak Saiya-go. I do," Pan replied. The warriors looked at each other before turning to face Pan and her group. "We are taking over this ship and you can't stop us," the leader said in English. Goku grinned. "Now we can understand what they're saying!" he exclaimed happily. "Thank you for statingt he obvious," Yahmcha said sarcastically. He eyed the Saiya-jin warriors. "They don't look so tough," he said. "That will be your undoing if you believe that," Pan said. "Saiya-jins are tough, even when they don't look like it. Hasn't being around Vegeta-sama taught you anything?" Yahmcha glared at Pan for a second. "Yeah," he admitted reluctantly. The warriors laughed. "A woman leads your group?" the leader demanded, laughing. Pan merely crossed her arms over her chest and glared at the warriors. "Are we going to fight or not?" she demanded impatiently. "We fight," the leader said and attacked Pan. Pan blocked his attack and sent him flying back into his men with a hard kick to his chest armor. She hadn't even broken a nail. The leader got to his feet, his face turning an alarming shade of purple. "Get them!!" he roared. "Ready for some fun guys?" Pan asked, looking over her shoulder with a grin. The guys nodded and met the warriors half-way. *************** Videl and Chichi looked on with wide eyes as their friends and loved ones clashed with the Saiya-jins. "I hope they'll be okay," Chichi whispered to Videl, who nodded. *************** The good guys soon had the warriors knocked out and they sent them back to their ship, all tied up. To add insult to injury, Pan had added a yellow ribbon to the ropes they'd used, effectively calling them chickens. "Let's get the ship away from here before they decide to send more onto the ship," Pan said and went to the controls. With a few rapidly typed commands, Pan had the ship free from the other one and they were on their way. "It was that easy to get away from them the whole time?" Gohan asked. Pan nodded. "Then why didn't you just do that in the first place?" Gohan asked. "Because they had this," Pan replied and produced a blue dagger. "The leader had it on him. He couldn't touch it, so he had it wrapped in a thick cloth behind his chest armor. They were no threat at all." Gohan nodded his agreement reluctantly. "Then why did you hide Videl and Kaasan?" he asked. "There was always the chance they might decide to join in, so I removed them from the equasion," Pan replied. "A wise move on your part. We would have joined in," Chichi said as she walked from her hiding spot. "Konichi wa Baasan, Kaasan," Pan said calmly, kissing their cheeks. "Why don't you relax while I set our course for the next planet? I think you could use the chance to relax while you still can. The journey gets harder from here on," she warned.
