You're Not Alone

Chapter 15

 

I am ssssoooo happy! I got MORE than ten reviews, so I posted the chapter earlier than I expected. Yeah, okay folks. This battle thing is going to be a two chapter portion, okay? This is because I don't feel like cramming it all in one chapter because it will be fifteen pages long and take me FOREVER to write and reviewers would be mad at me for taking so long and blah blah blah. So, before I make this more complicated, on with the story. Okay, I'm not going to dedicate this chapter to anyone, but I will as soon as the battle scene is over. I still love you guys!! Oh, and I don't think you need to know the character bios right now... so on with the kuso story! ^.~

Pan watched as the Kiara's foot came at her. She braced herself for the attack, moving her arms into position. Kiara's foot met nastily with her arm before Kiara jumped out of kicking mode and attacked Pan with a barrage of combos.

Pan smirked, easily blocking every one of them. She was obviously a more skilled fighter than Kiara. She could win this one easily.

Pan let Kiara drive her backwards. She could drown in overconfidence for a while. Then Pan would transform and leave her in the dust.

Pan felt her feet meet the end of the arena. ::Okay, girl, let's get this back into the action::

Without hesitation, Pan jumped over Kiara's head and slammed her foot backwards into Kiara's back with ease. The fans flew out of their seats as the body came towards them at a rapid rate. Kiara didn't have time to react before she slammed into the first two rows of the stands.

Pan pursued her opponent, throwing her back into the arena. Kiara landed in the middle with a thud. Smirking, Pan picked her up, holding her in front of her by the neck. "Come on, you aren't going to loose that easy, are you Kiara?"

Kiara snarled and took offense, attempting to slam her fists into Pan's chest, stomach, and head. Pan easily blocked them, using her perfected defensive skills to protect herself.

Her mother jumped up and cheered from the sidelines. "That's it Pan! Keep up your defense! Way to go!"

Pan smirked, continuing to easily block Kiara's attacks with ease. Furious with not landing one punch, Kiara jumped back and shot a blast at her. Pan sighed and deflected it. "Kiara, you're not even challenging."

Kiara was infuriated. "WHAT? Take that back, you wench!"

Pan shook her head. "Take what back?"

Angered, Kiara powered up and shot at Pan, her eyes flashing red. "Get ready to eat your words, bitch!"

Pan waited as Kiara got closer before phasing out. Materializing behind Kiara, she tapped her shoulder. "Looking for me?" Kiara swerved around, fear contorting her features. Before a word left her mouth, she soared up into the air, Pan watching, leg extended.

Bringing her leg back to her side, she followed her. She gathered energy into her hand as she passed Kiara. Waiting as she came closer, she brought her hands together above her head (not a ki blast, just like a super punch). With a battle cry, she brought her hands down onto Kiara's head, sending her flying back towards the ground, face first.

Kiara smashed into the ground, creating a huge creator. Pan lowered herself slowly to the ground, watching as her rival slowly got up on her feet. Pan smirked, saying, "What's wrong, Kiara? No ropes to help you now, are there?"

Kiara wiped the blood from her lip and smirked. Pan was confused. ::What's she so confident about, now? I just whipped her tail!:: Kiara smirked, pulling out two black gloves from under her armor. She slipped them on, flashing them to Pan.

The gloves covered the hand, but exposed the fingers. On the knuckles were large spikes, the points flashing in the light. Kiara smirked before reaching down to her boots. She pressed on the inner sole of them, and blades poked out of the toe. Smirking, she stalked towards Pan. "I don't have ropes, but I have these."

Pan stood there, completely shocked. ::Isn't there a rule against this??:: Kiara smashed her bladed knuckles across Pan's face, creating a long gash on her cheek, which began to dribble blood. Pan stepped back, clutching her injured face. She wiped the blood off her chin, where it had slunk down to. She glared a Kiara, her eyes ablaze with rage. "I'm going to kill you with your own game, Kiara." She whispered, barely audible.

Kiara smirked, hearing her stupid vow. She sped towards her, digging her foot into Pan's stomach. The small blade slashed into Pan's abdominal muscles, causing her to cough up some blood.

Trunks grabbed his stomach, feeling a twinge of pain there. Lifting up the spandex shirt under his armor, he looked at the spot where the pain seemed to be coming from. There was a red mark there, and was painful by the touch. "Pan..."

She clenched her fists, fighting off the pain. She flew at Kiara, punching and kicking with all her might. Kiara had trouble blocking them and was pushed to the ground. "Why you little..."

"Wench?" Pan finished before sending a ki blast at her. Kiara dodged it and attempted to land a punch on her chest. Pan barely had time to get out of the way, and Kiara's fist grazed her arm, leaving behind a nasty bruise.

Pan and Kiara flew at each other, right arm extended. They clashed in the middle, sparks bouncing off each of their arms as their energy collided. After an extreme glaring contest, they flew back, each taking their own spot at the end of the arena. "It's time I took this to the next level, eh, Kiara?"

Kiara only smirked. She had seen her go super in the whipping execution, the one where she wasn't executed. Kiara frowned. She would pay for her humiliation soon.

Pan decided to take her time powering up. She loved intimidating her enemy. (a/n: like Mirai Trunks, ne? When he fought Frieza? He took forever to transform, to intimidate Frieza, and DAMN! It worked good... He looked really cool doing it, too...)

She crouched, clenching her fists. She slowly powered up, her muscles continuing to grow. (a/n: they don't grow as fast because she's a girl, and their muscles don't get as large as they men. They can be just as strong, though...) Her aurora flared, blowing wind as her power level sky rocketed. Her eyes began to flicker from their natural coal black to the deep aqua of a super saiyan. Her jet black hair began to gather together as her aurora became brighter.

The crowd of saiyans watched wide eyed as she began to transform. Many of them had never seen a super saiyan, but all of them knew the story, the gold hair, greenish eyes, super powers, the whole package. They were scared of this girl, this slave, having the legendary powers. It was impossible... unthinkable. "Have any other slaves attained this much power?" "What if they have a rebellion? We will be crushed!" "This is horrifying! A servant being as or more powerful than an elite? It has to be a hoax!"

Pan smirked as she heard the remarks of the slave owners. ::Maybe one good thing will come out of this battle, besides my revenge...:: Her hair began to glow a brightly, slowly suppressing until it was a pale gold color. With a battle cry, she threw her arms up, releasing large amounts of energy from her body. Her body was engulfed with a bright light, causing Kiara to squeeze her eyes shut.

As the dust cleared and people slowly opened their eyes, they looked upon the warrior. Her long, golden hair was swaying slowly in the winds from her aurora. Her green eyes flashed as she narrowed them at her opponent. She pulled her sword out of it's sheath attached to her back and held it out. "Come and get me, Kiara!"

Kiara closed her eyes and then opened them to look across at Pan. Faking a disappointed face, she responded, "Wait a minute, wench, don't be unfair! I haven't powered up yet!" A smirk spread across her lips.

Pan lowered her sword. "What?!"

Kiara didn't waste time powering up. Clenching her fists, her ki jumped upwards, her eyes turning turquoise. Her hair exploded gold as she glared down a shocked Pan. "Okay, now we can fight." She said, taking off after Pan.

The only Pan could choke out was, "Shit." Before a spiked fist slammed into her jaw, her body flying across the arena.

Pan stood up just in time to duck out of the way of a ki blast. ::At least I'm quicker than she is... maybe I can out dodge her...::

Kiara attacked Pan with a few combos of kicks and punches, complete with small ki blasts. Pan was able to escape most of the attacks, but a few hit her full force. Wiping a trickle of blood from her lip, she thought hard. ::I'm going to have to outsmart her at this rate, she matches me almost blow for blow at super saiyan...::

In the midst of her thoughts, Kiara took the opportunity to throw an extremely large blast at her. "Final FLASH!" she shouted, shooting one of Trunks' best finishing moves.

Pan didn't have time to get away, and it hit her full force. "NO!!"

And then she died. (Ha! You think I'm that evil?)

~*~

Pan didn't have time to get away, and it hit her full force. "NO!!"

She was sent flying backwards as the blast exploded on her. Trunks shot out of his seat. "PAN!!" he yelled, his whole body suffering from a burning . The pain was almost unbearable. ::If it hurts that bad, she must be in complete pain...::

Bulma looked at her son, seeing him wince every time she got hit, and especially when she was hit with the blast. ~ Vegeta! He's going to be in pain for days if this continues! ~

Vegeta grunted. ~ I am well aware of that, woman. Let her continue the fight, if she is Trunks' mate, she will win. ~

~ What do you mean? ~

~ Just watch and see, Bulma. Just watch and see. ~

Kiara picked Pan up, who was basically limp in her arms. Kiara smirked and threw her up, punching and kicking her repeatedly in the air.

Trunks felt pain surging through his body as he watched Pan getting beaten up. ::Maybe if our bond is complete enough for me to reach out to her...:: He concentrated hard to get her attention. ~ Pan... Pan! Can you hear me? ~

Pan heard something tugging at her mind. ::What the...?:: She opened up, searching for what could be doing that. Then, she heard a faint voice call out to her. ~ Pan... Pan! Can you hear me? ~ it called softly.

~ Trunks? Is that you? ~

~ Pan!!! You can hear me! ~

~ How are you doing that? Is it part of our bond? ~

~ Yes. I am lucky I can talk to you, I didn't think our bond was developed enough... ~

~ Wait a minute, Trunks. Our bond has to be developed well for you to talk to me? ~

~ Yes. ~

~ Oh no... if I die, I will... ~

~ Pan! I told you not to worry about that... Now listen... you have to win this battle. You have to concentrate! I know you can do it. ~

~ But Trunks... it hurts so much... ~

Trunks sighed softly. ~ Pan, you have to listen to me. You can do it, you are stronger than she is. You need to ascend to the next level! Just find your power inside yourself. ~

~ But Trunks, I tried... it's not there anymore. And... I... I can't win...~

~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~

Don't you love cliff hangers? ^.~ Sorry I have to end it here, but I got really tired. Don't worry, the next chapter will be action filled, and I'm sure you'll like it a lot, okay? R&R!!! Now... where is that stash of candy I have up in my room...
