Chapter 3: Confusion, Hate and Destruction.

 

‘O witches, O misery, O hate to you my treasure has been entrusted!

I contrived to purge my mind of all human hope.

On all joy, to strangle it. I pounced with the strength of a wild beast.

I called to the plagues to smother me in blood; in sand misfortune was my god.

 

Rimbaud.

 

 

 

 

“Time to face the music” two nervous women mouthed at each other when they walked out in to the arrival hall of Satan city’s main airport. After lots of talking they had decided to drop the bomb so to speak at the dinner party that would be held at the Son home that evening.

 

After a quick dinner, Chichi and Videl were drying the dishes while Bulma and the men pumped the sayin girls for Information about their trip.

Suddenly Pan and Bra were fed up with the incessant chattering of their relatives.

‘’ Mom, dad, grandma, Vegeta, Bulma and all of you we need to tell you something ‘’ Pan said in such a grave tone that even Vegeta paid attention. A little shocked by being the centre of attention all of a sudden Bra spoke up and finished what Pan had to say. ‘’ Everyone please don’t freak out but I finally found someone I want to spend my life with ‘’ most of the people face vaulted because Bra had been ‘’man hopping” since she had entered puberty. ‘’ Who is the unlucky bastard” Vegeta growled from his corner. ‘’ Uhm daddy please let me finish ‘’ before anyone could recover fully Pan blurted it in to the room ‘’ Bra and me are together! ‘’

If someone had a camera it would have almost been funny. Every single reaction passed over their faces.

First Surprise then wonder and shock eventually most settled down at surprise.

Bulma always had an incredible mothers instinct and ushered the Son family and Krillin’s family outside before her dear husband would really hurt someone.

After the initial shock Bra found herself alone in the kitchen with her brother and father standing in front of her. Boy never had they looked more similar. Her mother tried so hard to calm the two men but it only worked on Trunks. Fifteen minutes later the blue-eyed girl and her father still hadn’t moved. Vegeta just stood there looking at his daughter never saying a word.

Eyes had always betrayed him, when he looked at Bulma after just meeting her one could see that he cared deeply for her now he was betrayed once more by his eyes. Knowing her father as well as she did Bra got all the answers by looking in his eyes.

Confusion, hate but mainly disgust shimmered in those coal black eyes.

Not being able to stand it anymore Bra just snarled very unladylike and crashed trough the roof. In the garden she picked up Pan and flew of with her in her arms.

The three families just stood there gawking. The famous temper of Bulma kicked in and she started to give the second most powerful being alive the verbal beating of his life.

A hate he hadn’t felt for a long time took him over again and chose its victims. He transformed never hearing the now desperate pleas from his wife and flew to the hole left by his daughter. With a savage look in his eyes he went after the two women.


Gohan and Goten had started to walk home instead of flying to sort out their thoughts. ‘’ I can’t believe my little Panny went of and did such a thing ‘’ he said more to himself then towards his younger brother. ‘’ Hey at least look at this bright side ‘’ Goten said. ‘’ What bright side?” ‘’ You won’t have to worry anymore of her falling head over heels for Trunks.” Gohan just looked at the younger man as if he had sprouted horns. ‘’I just don’t know what to think I just need to talk with Panny. Well the main thing is that she….. ‘’ He stopped dead in his tracks when he felt the last full-blooded sayjins ki go of the charts. ‘’ Shit” the two men growled and flew of to where they felt Vegeta heading.

 

The women never stood any kind of chance.‘‘Bra! Get back here now! ‘’ An infuriated Prince roared as soon as he got them in his vision. He never waited for her to answer; he grabbed her by her arm and started dragging her home. He received another shock when she didn’t allow herself to be taken willingly. ‘’ You are coming with me now! No brat of mine will have such a blasphemy of a relationship with spawn of Kakarotto’s spawn. ‘’ Pan and Bra fully understood the meaning of these harsh words. ‘’ No daddy I love her don’t do this ‘’ Bra whimpered. The only response was a well-placed slap in Pan’s face and ‘’ Never! I will not allow it! Pan never expected the slap and was flung trough the air by it’s force.

Gohan arrived at the scene just in time to catch his daughter before she hit the ground and to see Bra like no one had ever seen her before. In her mind something snapped when her own father knocked her mate into the air. Pure instinct controlled her now. The sayjin half had now come out fully. Without any second thought she attacked to defend her.

Vegeta was completely taken aback by her actions. ‘’ So it seems you have been quite the busy little girl, but are you actually stupid enough to try and fight for that bitch? ‘’ These words certainly had an effect on his daughter. Bra recollected herself and hung in the air in front of ‘ Daddy ‘. ‘’ I do have your blood running trough my veins ‘’ she said while her bleu eyes shimmered emerald green. Nobody got a chance to be amazed. In a yellow blaze she started a complete range of attacks. Pan knew that Bra never would be able to stand up to him alone so she wanted to help her out so bad.

Before she could step Gohan already had her in his grasp. ‘’No Panny this is her fight she needs to do this alone. It’s in her blood”. Pan calmed down at these words and hung up in the air concentrating on the fight ready to step in. ‘’ Hello what’s up guys? ‘’ Goten asked casually after arriving. ‘’ Jup that’s uncle all-right ‘’ Pan said while she rolled her eyes. ‘’ What’s going on is that you’re childhood crush is having a little stand-off with Vegeta over this entire mess ‘’ the black haired woman concentrated on the fight again. Despite her newfound power Bra was seriously outclassed so it didn’t take long before she was knocked out cold.

Her world seemed to blur into one single moment, rage howled inside her when he knocked her mate out cold. Raving mad Pan screamed. She hurled herself at the object of her hate only to be snagged out of the air by her father. ‘’ No Panny he will tear you apart ”. Pan didn’t even hear him, she only saw Vegeta dragging Bra away from her. Screaming she tried to go after them. Gohan felt her powerlevel rise further then it should be able to. He felt himself having to transform to be able to contain her. By know she was going into some frantic rage. Goten couldn’t keep his astonishment to himself when he saw his nieces hair whirl up and shimmer into golden spikes. ‘’ She’s she’s she is a supersayjin…” he choked out. Not being able to get away Pan started to calm down and went back to her normal state, when she realized everything turned into the nightmare they had dreaded that would happen. ‘’ No no ” she whimpered and caved in crying her heart out in her father’s arms.

 

That evening was a very quiet one. Bra tried to get to Pan but miserably failed, now she had her one personal big haired watch ‘ man ‘ nope she wasn’t going anywhere soon. Pan also tried to see Bra but her father always being the wise one had suggested staying away for the evening to let things cool down a bit.

 

With a shock Pan woke up. ‘’ Hey Sugar it’s the end of the line here” the bus driver said softly after she woke up from his attempts to get her out of the bus. Groggily she walked stepped out of the bus. Blinking trying to adjust to the morning light she wandered into the little village she had ended up in.

Pan walked into the first shop she saw. ‘’ Hello? Do you perhaps have a bus schedule for me and a postcard? ‘’ when she had paid and walked out again she saw a little park . Lying down on the grass she wondered why she had even bought the card. Now she was lying to herself again, she knew why. Grandma looked so sad when she left, first she had thought she misheared it but she hadn’t. ‘’ Grandma asked me to write so I will, someday soon” she whispered while slipping the card with a teddy bear with angel wings on it into her purse. ‘’ Mm might as well get some sleep before the next bus into town”

That morning people who happened to wander past that little park saw a young woman sleeping in the sun with a smile on her face. She slept peacefully for the first time in six months.
