A Warrior's Quest

Part Thirteen: The Final Object Retrieved

Pan and Mirai Trunks decided to go after the last object together, deciding to take the twins along with them if the planet was safe.

"We're approaching the planet. Hey! It's Yardrat!" Pan cried, getting the attention of Goku.

"Hey!! Can I come too? I haven't been there in a long time!" Goku said as he peered over Pan's shoulders.

"All right. You can visit while Tru-chan, the twins and I go after the next object. I'll let you know when we land," Pan said, grinning at her grandfather's eager happiness.

"Yeah!!" Goku cried and did a little happy dance.

Vegeta snorted and rolled his eyes. 'This is the only pure-blooded Saiya-jin besides myself. Pathetic!' he thought to himself.

Pan knew what Vegeta was thinking and glared at him. ^You aren't exactly perfect yourself, you know Veggie-sama. At least he shows some positive emotions,^ she said to Vegeta in Saiya-go.

Vegeta returned Pan's glare. ^At least I'm not a half-wit like he is,^ he retorted.

Pan rolled her eyes and ignored Vegeta. "We should get ready. You know, get our supplies ready," she told Mirai Trunks.

Mirai Trunks nodded and the two went to pack a diaper bag each for the twins.

Goku was chattering to Chichi and Bulma about what a great place Yardrat was and most of it was about the food.

Yahmcha and Vegeta just ignored Goku and stayed lost in their own thoughts.
						*******************
Pan lifted Rayven into her arms while Mirai Trunks took Chibi-Vegeta and the two set off in search of the last object. 

"Our first family outing," Pan said. "I just wish it could have been on Chikyuu. It's a lot safer there."

"We'll be fine Pan-chan, and so will the twins. This is a peaceful planet," Mirai Trunks said.

Pan nodded. "Let's go find that object!" she cried.

Rayven and Chibi-Vegeta mimicked their mother's cry, waving their chubby arms in their excitement.

Pan and Mirai Trunks laughed and continued on their way. They soon came to the temple where the object was kept. 

Pan handed Rayven to Mirai Trunks. "Only I can enter the temple," she said and walked up the steps. She disappeared inside the temple.

"Looks like its just the three of us," Mirai Trunks said to his two children and settled down to play with them while they waited.
					
Pan walked across the marble floor, her boots making faint clicking sounds that echoed around her. She knew exactly where she was going and ignored everything else around her. She kept checking on the twins and her mate every couple hundred feet, wanting to make sure they were all safe. "Finally," she breathed as she approached the altar. She picked up the Garnet Robe and stroked it reverently. "Now I have all of them and Chikyuu will be safe." She bowed to the altar as a gesture of respect and walked back the way she came, putting the Robe in the protective bag she'd brought with her. 

"You got it?" Mirai Trunks asked when Pan stepped out into the sunlight.

Pan nodded and picked up Chibi-Vegeta, wanting to give both her children equal love. "We can go and get Grandpa now. And then we can head for home," she said, grinning with relief.

Mirai Trunks returned the grin. "Finally," he said.

Pan stuck her tongue out and walked away.

Mirai Trunks picked up Rayven and hurried afer his mate.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

After retrieving Goku, the ship finally headed back to Chikyuu, all it's passenger's happy to be heading home.

Pan was looking forward to seeing her parents and little sister again and to feel her native soil beneath her feet. "Soon it'll all be over," she said to herself aloud, looking out the viewport.
