*Author’s notes: This is my second DBZ fanfic but my first one that I made up. You might want to take what ya’ know about the DBZ plot a toss it out the window. This is a story that I made up using most of the characters, mostly Pan, Bra, Mirai Trunks and Goten. For the villain I used a character’s name from movie #11. And special thanks to Rhoine for letting me use the ki shield idea. Hope you like.

Chapter One: The Meeting

"Pan, who are they?" asked the blue haired, teenaged girl. She and Pan had been at their house in the woods training. Now they were hiding from to teenaged boys, one black haired the other purple haired.

"I don’t know, Bra," she answered as she watched them for behind the domed capsule house.

"Do you think they’re Jaga’s men? They look to cute to be..." Pan gave her a sharp look, signaling Bra to keep quite.

*******

"Did you hear something?" Trunks asked his best friend, Goten, who shrugged.

"No, but what do you think this house is doing here?" he asked. Both boys had decided to go camping and get in some good training. They came to these woods, like they always did when they were tried of the world, only to find that there is now a house in their favorite camping spot.

"I don’t know," Trunks answered. "Let’s see if anyone’s home. I wanna’ know what they’re doing here."

"Yeah," a grin spread across Goten’s face, "And maybe we can get some food too!" he said as he walked towards the house. Trunks laughed. ‘I can’t believe he’s my best friend!’ he thought, joining Goten.

*****

At seeing the strangers walk closer to their house Bra and Pan ducked further behind the house and lowered their ki’s more, not that they needed to. Bra had invented ki shields in the form silver spears which they held tightly in their hands. It blended away their kis into the surrounding area making it near impossible to find.

"What are we goinna do?" Bra asked. She was afraid and she knew Pan was also. Pan just refused to show it. "Marron didn’t say anything about more trackers."

"No, she didn’t. Either she doesn’t know or Jaga found her out. We need to go. Now!" Pan’s usually happy black eyes were now cold and hard as she spoke. Fear did that to her.

"But what about our stuff? Everything we own is in there, even our capsules."

"I know that," Pan reached into her pocket and pulled out the capsule she always had with her and handed it to Bra. "Here, take the motorcycle and keep it running. I’m going to try to get our capsules back," Pan left before Bra could protest or insist in coming with her. Bra was the one Jaga was after, not Pan, she had her own reasons for leaving. After all, she had no other family but her friends and Bra was her best friend.

*****

When Trunks and Goten got to the house they found that the door was open. They set down their camping gear and went in.

"Hey Trunks, this place looks like my room," Goten stated as he looked around the small house. There were clothes, empty soda cans and wrappers scatted around. It being messy was an understatement.

"I wonder why the door was left open..." Trunks wondered aloud when suddenly their attention was drawn to the sound of falling pots and pans. The boys froze when they saw a black haired teenage girl dressed in gray sweat pants, a black tank top and a black jacket amongst the rubble reaching for a medium sized bag. She was starring back at them as the colour drained from her face. Before they could react she grabbed the bag and ran out the door. They gave chase.

*****

‘Crap!’ Pan swore as she ran to where Bra was waiting. She was mad at herself for how careless she was. Even if the ki shied hid her for others who could sense ki, it didn’t hide her from their sight. Suddenly she was cut off by the purple haired boy who appeared in front of her. Pan started to change direction before running in to the other boy. Jumping away she readied herself for a fight. She was not going to be taken to Jaga without a fight.

******

‘I didn’t even sense her ki! Is she an android like #17 and 18? No, if she was she would have flown away by now or thrown ki balls at us.’ Trunks glanced over at Goten and could tell he was having the same thoughts. Well, they did come into the woods to fight, now they were going to get one.

"Pan!" another girl screamed. Goten turned to see a blue haired girl wearing a red, spaghetti string shirt, and black jeans on a motorcycle. He felt his face begin to flush as she looked at him. There was a hint of fear in her blue eyes that Goten was lost in. Trunks flowed his friend’s gaze to the blue haired girl and Pan took the opportunity that her friend’s outburst gave her to get away. She flew over them and prayed that they didn’t know how to, very few of Jaga’s men did.

Goten and Trunks gaped at her before they took off.

Pan wasn’t able to reach Bra before Trunks had a hold of her. He still wanted to know why they were hiding in the woods. Pan struggled to get away from his vice like grip.

"Bra!" she screamed, realizing it was useless to fight with the bag in her hand. She throw it for Bra, who caught it. "Get out for here! I’ll hold them off."

"But..."

"I’ll catch up later, now go!" With that statement, Bra left her best friend, no, her sister, behind to fight two people who were far stronger.
