A Warrior's Quest Part Fifteen: The Quest's End Pan slid out of bed hours after the party was over, careful not to wake the sleeping Mirai Trunks. She dressed swiftly and left the room, taking the Objects she had so carefully gathered, stopping briefly to check on her babies. Then she slipped out of the house and flew towards Dende's Lookout. Dende looked up when he heard someone outside of his meditating room. "Pan-chan! What are you doing here?" he asked in surprise upon seeing who his guest was. "It's time," Pan said simply. She gestured to the case with the Objects inside. "How do you know that?" Piccolo asked, stepping out from the shadows. "They told me it was time," Pan replied, bowing slightly to her father's teacher. Piccolo bowed back. "Who is 'they'?" he asked. "The Objects I was told to gather," Pan replied. "What are you supposed to do with them?" Dende asked. "I was told to bring them here once I was home and to wait," Pan replied. "Wait for what?" Piccolo asked. Pan shrugged. "They didn't say," she replied. "That's not very helpful," Piccolo snorted. Pan shrugged. "I do what they say. They're the ones who know what to do," she said. Her eyes widened a second later and she nodded. She knelt down and opened the case, taking out the Objects and laying them carefully on the ground in a circle. "What are you doing?" Dende asked, interested in what would happen next. "I'm doing what they told me to," Pan replied. She picked the case up and set it down outside the circle of Objects. As soon as she did that, the Objects began to glow andslowly began to rise off the ground. Piccolo and Dende were startled and took a step back. Pan's eyes widened as she too was slowly lifted off the ground, her hair coming loose from it's braid to swirl around her. There was a brilliant flash of light and Dende and Piccolo covered their eyes. They opened them again when the light dimmed. "Pan-chan!" Dende gasped. Piccolo was mute. Pan floated in midair, her eyes closed, her body bathed in a soft white light, wearing all twelve Objects. Her black hair was now long enough to pool on the floor, covered by the Amethyst Veil. "What happens now?" a new voice asked. Dende and Piccolo turned to see Vegeta's family, Goku's family, Gohan's family and Mirai Trunks with Rayven and Chibi Vegeta standing behind them. "We don't know. How did you all get here?" Dende asked. "The light brought them," a chorus of voices replied. Everyone turned to see who had spoken. They saw Pan, still floating in midair, surrounded by twelve ghostly people. "Who are you?" Piccolo asked. "We are the ones who sent Pan on her quest. We are the spirits that were trapped in the Objects she gathered," was the reply. Pan slowly opened her eyes and smiled at the spirits around her. "It's nice to see what you all really looked like," she said softly. The woman who Pan had recieved the Ruby Shield from bowed to Pan. "Thank you for bringing us home," she said. The Ruby Sheild Pan had been holding appeared in her hands. She smiled again before she disappeared, a ruby light surrounding Chikyuu for a brief moment before fading. The pretty child with the white hair who had spoken to Goku, Vegeta and Mirai Trunks when Pan was retrieving the Amethyst Veil approached Pan and kissed her cheek before the Veil appeared in her hands and she faded away, a soothing amethyst glow surrounding Chikyuu before fading. A strong looking man with blue hair and blue eyes bowed low to Pan before the Blue Dagger appeared in his hands and he disappeared, a pulsing blue light appearing around Chikyuu before fading. The people gathered watched as each of the spirits the Twelve Objects had had inside took back the Objects one by one and disappeared, a glow the color of each Object surrounding Chikyuu before fading. Pan was lowered back to the ground once all the Objects and spirits were gone. She looked down and saw that her hair was pooled around her feet. "I think I'm going to need a haircut," she said to no-one in particular. "Is that the end of your quest Pan-chan?" Videl asked. Pan smiled a little sadly. "Yes. The guardian spirits have been returned to Chikyuu so there's nothing left to do now but enjoy a normal life," she replied. "No more aliens coming to destroy Chikyuu?" Goten asked. "Nope. Chikyuu is safe from all harm," Pan said. She looked at Dende. "I'm right, aren't I?" she asked. Dende nodded. "Well done," he said. Pan covered a yawn. "I'm ready to go back to bed now," she said, walking over to take Chibi Vegeta from her mate, managing somehow not to trip over all her hair. Mirai Trunks nodded and he and Pan said good-bye to their families and flew home. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Well, what did you think?
