Dragonball Recall

[CuteTomboy]

Pan glares up at Silver as he invites Trunks to join him and says that he'll giver her to Trunks if he does. When Trunks starts to doubt his faith in Vegeta and Pan hugs his arm closer.

"Come on Trunks, your father never had a choice back then, it was either follow Frieza or die! Goku told me all about the stuff Vegeta had done, the good and the bad. Vegeta gave his life for the Earth, for you! If that doesn't make a hero I don't know what does!" Pan is almost in tears as she speaks.

 

[Armphid]

Trunks just stares at her for a moment, his eyes wide. "Pan..." Then he smiles and places his free hand on her shoulder. "...Thank you, Pan." "You're right." "He may have a dark past, and me may have more to atone for...but he's a hero now."

He wanted to embrace her so much...just pull her close and hold her. But he couldn't...not in front of all these people...not when...well, not when he wasn't sure how she'd respond. Instead, he just gave her shoulder a squeeze. "Thank you...I know I can always count on you Pan." "Just being around you makes me feel better...about everything."

 

[CuteTomboy]

Pan smiles, the few tears drying as Trunks speaks to her.

"Y..You're a hero too Trunks, you've saved me too many times to count." Pan blushes. "I..I'm glad that I c..can help you too." Pan blushes even deeper as she speaks and Trunks squeezes her shoulder softly.

 

[Armphid]

Trunks blushed as well, the smile on his face widening. "Pan...well, if I'm a hero to you, then I've got all the approval I'll ever need." "You've saved me too, don't forget...I owe you as much, no, more than you owe me."

He couldn't stand it. Goten would mock him like hell, amybe even throw a punch at him for it, but he couldn't take it anymore. The hand on her shoulder looped around her, and Trunks stepped in to give her a partial embrace, holding it for only a moment before releasing her.

He was blushing a bit, but his eyes were bright. So brief...but it felt good...and right, to hold her like that. "Don't think that I don't aim to beat you though." "I know it won't be easy, but I intend to be champion."

 

[CuteTomboy]

Pan starts to cry softly as Trunks says she's his hero. She blushes as he holds her tight, it feels so right that she is slightly depressed when he releases her, she laughs at what he says.

"You're right it won't be easy, I have a lot of tricks up my sleeve." Pan says then she smiles wide.

 

[Armphid]

He reached out and wipes the tears from her face. "I bet you do...you'll be the hardest fight of all, I think." "Because I know you'll have come up with all sorts of new techniques." "You really area great fighter, Pan."

Trunks smiles down at her, a warm feeling in his chest. She really did make him feel great. She would be a tough fight...despite her inability to become a Super Saiyan, she was tough, and she wouldn't give up. He was looking forward to it.

 

[Youkikun]

Goten walked up and wraped one arm around Trunks' shoulders and the other around Pan's.

"Well isn't this the happy moment! And Trunks... you never have a girlfriend for all these years and the first one you want is Pan? How hard did Baby hit you in the head?" Goten laughed and smacked both of them on the back.

"besides... I'm the one you two should be worried about in this tournament."

 

[CuteTomboy]

Pan smiles up at Trunks as he compliments her.

"Well, not all the tricks I have are mine, but it shouldn't be too difficult yo figure out who I learned them from." Pan says.

Pan looks up at her Uncle as he walks up and hugs them, she just shakes her head when he says they should worry about him and elbows him in the gut for insulting her and Trunks.

 

[Armphid]

Trunks blushed brightly at Goten's comment, "H-Hey!" "I....I n-never said anything like that!" He regretted saying it instantly...because he actually thought that Pan as his girlfriend would be pretty nice. It seemd Pan had taken it in hand however, with an elbow to Goten's gut. "Man, you two just don't stop do you?"

Trunks grinned at Goten, "I haven't forgotten you, Goten." "But if I'm going to get to you, the ways thebrackets are I have to get through Pan first."

__________________

El Lobo watched the woman carefully. She was simply watching him, a smlight smile of amusement on her lovely face. He'd been surprised to have to face a woman in the ring...and then such a beautiful one. His code was in conflict with his wants as a fighter. He was supposed to protect women, not fight them.

"Are you going to make a move today?" Her voice was bored, despite having an alluring quality to it. "If not, this is just going to be boring...and I can be bored anywhere."

El Lobo nodded his head, "Sorry senoirita." "I did not want to bore you." "Let us begin!" El Lobo raced toward her, throwing a puch to test her reflexes. She moved faster than he thought she would to block it, and he smiled. This would be good. He went into a flurry of punches, driving her back though none of them even came close to hitting her.

18.2's face had that same bored look until her heel stepped onto empty space, realizing she was at the edge of the ring, a look of shock came onto her face.

"That's the end!" El Lobo dove low, wrapping his arms around her slim waist and hurling her straight up intothe air. Then before she struck, he leaped up to perform a perfect dropkick, sending 18.2 sailing out of the ring. El Lobo landed, rolling to his feet and looking to where she should hit. Then his jaw dropped, and he tooka step backward, eyes wide with disbelief. "It...it cannot be!"

18.2 was hovering about a foot from the ground, on her back with her arms and legs spread. Then she moved so that she was standing again. "That was a cute little move." She lifted up higher off the ground, soaring up and over El Lobo to touch down in the middle of the ring again. "But you're just too weak to be interesting...don't take it personally." She gestured negligently, and an orb of glowing yellow energy shot from her palm to strike El Lobo, engulfing the luchador in a burst of power, then a cloud of smoke.

As the smoke cleared, El Lobo was covered from head to toe in minor burns, and small cuts. He took a few staggering steps toward her, then toppled over. The ring announcer was shocked into silence for a moment, then began to count. El Lobo tried valinatly to get up, but his battered body simply could not do it.

""8....9....10!" "That's it!" "This fight is over!" The announcer shouted into his mike, "Proving her skill and capability with a stunning match, 18.2 advances to the next round!" "But withthe furious Silver ready to face her in the second round, should she be happy or afraid?"

As he spoke, the beatiful andriod paced over to El Lobo, crouching down. "You had some good moves...you just don't have the power to back them up." She undid his mask, and stood, rasing it above her head as the crowd roared. Hmmm. She smiled, you know...this part was kind of fun. She walked around the stone ring, still holding the mask aloft in victory, before pacing back to where the fighters waited.

____________________

Trunks saw her coming. "That took longer than I expected." The monitors were replaying the fight. "Just like what I was told about 18 when she appeared...she was stronger than my father, but she fought him on his level for a while anyway...just for fun."

"All right!" "Since there are no repairs needed to the ring, let's get our next match underway!" Match 7 pits the fiery haired beauty Bridgette against the world championheavy weight boxer of the world, two time Olympic gold medal winner....Thundercles!" "Fighters step forward!"

 

[CuteTomboy]

Pan blushes deeper than before when she sees Trunks blush protests what Goten said. She laughs as Goten almost doubles over from her elbow to his gut, then she looks up at Trunks.

"Nope, I'm always beating him up." She says and smiles widely. Her attention is then distracted to the ring as 18.2 defeats El Lobo easily, she leaves Trunks' side as the android walks back.

"That was a great fight, but aren't you nervous to go up against Silver?" Pan asks 18.2.

 

[SilverCat]

Silver

Silver turned to watch the fight between 18.2 and El lobo. "Well it looks like she has some spunk. I'll enjoy toying with her and then destroying her." Silver smirked as he watched her leave the arena.

 

[Armphid]

18.2 looked down at Pan, then tossed her blonde locks over one shoulder. "That fight was pathetic..." She looked at the young woman again, her sensors analyzing her. Well...she was fairly strong. For a human. "If you think that was impressive, you should just give up now, and save yourself the embarrassment."

Trunks frowned, but held his tongue. He didn't likeher attitude but he also didn't want to send her to Silver's side of things.

18.2 scanned over the crowd again. The lizard-man had increased his power, as had the three-eyed girl...not that it mattered. She could only hold so mucha t once, but she had an internal generator...she could never run out of power, and she would never tire. She always was able to fight at peak capacity. "Silver's powerful, but his technique isn't very good...he relies on raw power too much, I'd say." She shrugged. "If he tries to toy with me like he did with that other one, he'll regret it." She looked at the draconian, her expression one of annoyance. "Plus he's rude, ugly, and has no fashion sense...he'll have to go."

She looked at Pan again, a faint curiosity as to why this one cared to ask her that question. "Son Pan, right?" Instantly data files were called up in her mind, on Son Goku and Son Gohan...but they were out dated by over 20 years. Which might make her the right age..."Are you the daughter of Goku or Gohan?" "Never mind, I could care less...why did you bother asking me about my match anyway?" "Does it really matter to you who wins?"

 

[lil miss curious]

Bridgette

"Dammit Silver I don't know why you are angry but keep your power a secret it's our only trump card" I said as I walked toward the match.

I stepped into the ring to see a ridiculously dressed man. I stood there staring into the eyes of the saiyan Goten. As the bell rang The man punched me in the jaw as my head doesnt budge. I take my finger and flick his jaw with my finger. The sound of his jaw shattering is music to my ears as his body rolls out of the ring. As I exit the ring I finally stand in front of Goten and stare into his eyes with a smirk on my face

 

[CuteTomboy]

Pan is a little shocked at the coldness of the woman's response.

"I was just congratulating you, you don't need to be mean." Pan says, then laughs "I'm saying it was great that you are powerful enough to beat that guy, and I now know a fight between us would be interesting." Pan says, her father and grandfather's eagerness to test their might showing through in her words.

"Yeah, I'm the daughter of Son Gohan and the granddaughter of Son Goku." Pan crosses her arms, getting a little tired of 18.2's uncaring attitude. "Well, the guy you are going to face beat one of my best friends really bad so the match is important for two reasons, if you beat him I don't have to worry about getting revenge for my friend and two I'll have a chance to face you." Pan smiles slightly as she speaks.

 

[Youkikun]

Goten watched every beautiful movement 18.2 made and cheered when she won the match.

He looked at her as she walked past, failing to remove the dumb smile plastered to his face.

He wanted to say something but nothing could come to mind. The only thing in his head was how beautiful she was and... what she looked like under those clothes ^_^

He turned his attention back to the ring for the next match and froze in his tracks. That beautiful red-head was staring right at him. He was lost in her gaze as the match began.

 

[Armphid]

The flawlessly lovely andoid stared a Pan for a few long moments, then she actually smiled. It was a very small smile, but it did much to soften her hard expression. "Really?' "Well...thanks for your congratulations." "I wouldn't be so eager to fight me...you shouldn't run into something you can't win." Her voice wasn't mocking or rude, simply stating her superiority as a matter of fact. "But fighting you would probably be fun, so I'll look forward to it." She didn't feel a need to say more, but neither to go further inside. Instead she just moved to the wall and leaned with her back against it.

Staring at the monitor, she spoke again. "Son Pan...tell your brother there that it's rude to stare at a lady, unless she stares back" "Next time, he'd better have to something to say or something to spend."

Trunks meanwhile was watching Bridgette's fight. Well...she fought smarter than Silver, in any event. The fight was over so quickly, and in such a way that he couldn't really tell much about her style or her skill. Very clever.

Why was she looking at Goten like that though? Was she trying to intimidate him? Or did she stare at guys the way Goten did at girls? No, somehow that didn't seem right. Whatever the reason...Trunks had a bad feeling about it.

______

Outside, the unconscious Thundercles had been carried away. The aging announcer stepped back up into the ring. One more first round match to go, then I'll get to see some real fighting!"

"Wow!" "What a match that was!" The crowd roared, though many booed as well. Quick, hard to follow matches weren't what they paid to see. "The last match of the first round may be the best yet!." "Renowned explorer and hero, Jake "Danger Ace" Stefkowski, who's survived some of the most dangerous places on Earth, and found lost cities and lands is a first time fighter here, but a veteran of hundreds of fights!" 'His opponent, is Son Goten." "Youngest son of Tournament great Son Goku, Goten first fought here at the tender age of seven, in a bout with competitor Trunks that is still talked about today!" "That wasn't enough for him though, as he snuck into the adult competition and proved his might there as well!" "We've seen him off and on through the years, and it's always something to see." "Can the current flag bearer of the Son fighting family make it past this seasoned for?" "Let's find out!" "Fighters, please come forward!"

 

[CuteTomboy]

Pan smiles back at 18.2 as she smiles.

"You're welcome 18.2, but don't think it'll be easy if you win." Pan says and smiles a little wider. "And I'd say that's a pretty big if, but I am looking forward to fighting you, you just have to beat Silver first."

Pan laughs at the androids remark about her Uncle.

"Sure, I'll give him the message." Pan laughs softly and turns to the Arena as the next fight is announced.

"GO UNCLE GOTEN!!!" Pan screams, her hand cupped around her mouth.

 

[SilverCat]

Silver

Silver smirked as he watched Bridgette destroy Thundercles with one finger. "I knew I liked that girl for some reason. She is very smart and cunning. Maybe I will hang around with her until I get bored." Silver grinned at the idea.

 

[Armphid]

Trunks grinned. this should be fun. He could tell Goten was just aching to make a fool out of the scarlet dressed pilot. Then he sighed, he couldn't think like that. He had to be serious with Silver and Bridgette around.

He stepped up beside Goten at the entrance, "Don't humilate him too much, Goten...he's not a bad guy, just big-headed." Trunks clapped his friend on the shoulder. "Show 'em how it's done."

From the stands, there was loud cheering from the Capsule Corp. bow where Bra and the Sons were.

"Go Goten," yelled ChiChi. "You can do it, son!"

Videl laughed, "Make him eat that scarf, Goten!" Then her eyes went skyward. Man...this was the second time Gohan would miss his brother's first fight in the Tournament.

Bra leaned over the rail, "Take 'em down!" "Let's see what you've got!"

 

[Youkikun]

Goten hopped up and down as his name and tournament history was announced. He had a big smile on his face as he warmed up. He hadn't been in the ring for quite awhile and he was glad to be back.

He completly turned his back on his opponent and waved with both arms up at his "cheering section", laughing happily as he took in their cheers.

He turned back to the silly dressed man and continued stretching with a big smile on his face.

It must be the Son blood in him that makes him feel happy when he's fighting. He loved it.

The match began and he stood in fighting stance. Danger Ace ran at him and leaped into the air with a flying kick. Goten vanished and reapeared behind the man as he landed. He laughed as he continued to vanish and dodge all of DA's attacks.

Deciding that he had enough fun for now, he kicked DA's feet out from underhim and struck the man in the gut with an open-palmed thrust, sending him rocketing out into the crowd, landing in the audiences' laps.

The crowd cheered as Goten waved to them all, laughing merrily. He was feeling a bit of an addrenilin rush and wished he could keep fighting.

Maybe it was the addrenilin or maybe he was just feeling gutsy, but he immediatly shot up into the air towards the Son and Briefs family.

He smiled and kissed Bra right on the lips.

He blushed and laughed as he fly back down to the ground and landed beside Trunks, and gave him a wink.

 

[CuteTomboy]

"YEAH GOTEN!!" screams Pan as her Uncle easily beats Danger Ace.

Her eyes go wide as her Uncle flies up and kisses Bra on the lips, Pan's jaw drops open when he lands next to Trunks acting like he didn't do anything.

 

[Armphid]

Trunks watched the match, his face serious. Darn...Danger Ace just wasn't strong enough for Trunks to get any sense of how much Goten had improved. Still...his friend did end the match with style. "Nice fight," he called.

Then Goten kissed Bra. Trunks's eyes went wide, and his jaw dropped. "G...G..G...Goten!" "What do you think you're doing!" He was more shocked than angry, but still! Kissing her on world wide television!

Bra herself blushed bright red, too stunned to speak for a few moments. Videl and Chi Chi were not so silent.

Chi Chi ran to the rail and yelled after him, "Goten!" "That is not the right way to approach a young lady!" "Where are your manners, young man?" She cast her eyes heavenward, "Ohhh...that boy!" "I can't believe him!"

Videl however, was laughing. "Wow, smooth move Goten!"

Bra stared at the two women, then ran to the railing as well. "Hey!" "You...you jerk!" "I can't believe you!" "Next time you kiss me, you better make it worth more than a little peck like that!" Then she realized what she had said, and blushed as red as her shirt.

Trunks grabbed Goten by the shoulder, "Goten, what's up with you?" "Why did you do that in front of everyone?" "I mean, kissing my sister is one thing, but in front of a stadium...and world wide coverage!" Then he realized that somewhere int he ocean, his father was sure to be watching the Tournament. His eyes went wide again...."Goten...he...HE's watching...he saw you..."

________________

"HOW DARE HE!" There was an explosion from one of the many lounges, patrons standing clear of the short but perfectly muscled man who stood, shaking with rage at the bar. "I"LL KILL HIM!"

"VEGETA!" Bulma's voice rang out over the stunned patrons, the greed haired woman skidding into the room, clad only in a bikini a moment alter. "What are you yelling about, you maniac?"

The King of the Saiyans swallowed enough of his anger not to bellow at his wife. Especially not when he saw her in that outfit. "That brat of Kakkarot's dared to kiss Bra!" "I'll pund the life from his worthless body!"

Bulma blinked, "Wow...Gohan did that?" "Don't worry, Vegeta, Videl will beat you to it." She was deliberately misunderstanding, the experienced woman aware of the looks that had passed between her daughter and Goten.

Vegeta snarled, "Not Gohan, you idiot!" "That worthless slacker Goten!"

Bulma smiled, stunned the proud warrior. "Awww, that's so sweet!" "Well, I think they make a cute couple."

"You what?" "Are you insane?" Vegeta roared. "That...that son of a clown...and no better than a clown himself!"

Bulma frowned. "Hey, that clown saved your butt a few times that I recall!" "Besides, you're just trying to get out of the cruise, aren't you!" She tossed her head, "Fine!" "Go kill Goten, see if I care!" "All I have to say is that you better find a room for yourself when you get back!"

Vegeta stared at her for several long seconds. "....GAh!" "Fine!" "I won't go after him now...but when we get back, I'm killing him first thing!"

Bulma threw herself into his arms, rubbing her chest against his. "Of course, dear." As long as she kept him here, she could work on him. She'd have him singing a different tune by the cruise's end.

_________________

"Wow!" The announcer's voice rang out again. "Looks like romance is in the air along with the bodies here at the Torunament !" He turned to a camera man, "Let's get a closer look at Goten's lady love!"

Bra's stunned face came up on the huge monitor at one end of the stadium. "There's the lucky girl, and isn't she beautiful?" "Will her love be enough motivation fot Goten to go allt he way this year?" "We'll find out, but we have to get through the second round first!"

The camera moved back to the fighters' entrance. "Our first match of the second round, pits Pan against Chun Hua!" "Both ladies put thier first opponents away with no trouble, but now they face each other in a match of basttling beauties!" "Both have the blood of champoins in their veins and have shown their skill!" "I think I'm not going too far out on a limb when I say, this could go either way, folks!" "Fighters, please come forward!"

________________

Trunks let go of Goten, turning to Pan. "Looks like they're not wasting any time." He smiled at her, laying a hand on her shoulder. "Show her how it's done Pan, I know you can do it." 'Just don't take her too lightly...you're stronger than her, but Tien was a tricky fighter, and I bet she is too."

 

[CuteTomboy]

Pan giggles as she comes out of the initial shock of seeing her Uncle kiss her best friend.

"Yeah Goten, you better be hiding when Vegeta gets back, or you'll be lucky to just end up in the hospital." Pan says, she sighs as the announcer rubs in what just happened and she wishes Trunks would be as bold as her Uncle. The thought makes her blush and hesitate when Trunks puts his hand on her shoulder, she slowly looks up.

"I'll be careful Trunks, but like I said, I have a few tricks up my sleeve too." She smiles up at Trunks as she says this then heads out to the Arena, Chun Hua walks right beside her.

"Don't think I've forgotten what you said earlier." Pan says to Chun Hua without looking at her, the woman nods and takes her place at the far side of the ring.

"OHHHH LOOK AT THIS FOLKS!! SEEMS THESE TWO BEAUTIES HAVE A GRUDGE AGAINST EACH OTHER!! IS IT ABOUT A MAN MAYBE!?" the announcer says and the crowd laughs. "WHATEVER THEIR QUARREL IS IT LOOKS LIKE THIS IS GOING TO BE A FIGHT TO REMEMBER!! CONTESTANTS...... BEGIN!!"

Pan stands still, stretching out one arm and beckoning for Chun Hua to attack. Chun Hua dashes towards Pan and punches but just as the punch looks like it maked contact with Pan's face the fist flies through and Pan appears behind Chun Hua, perfectly motionless and smiles.

"What's the matter? Didn't your father tell you about the After-Image technique my Grandfather loved so much?" Pan says, laughing softly as Chun Hua keeps attacking and missing, destroying After-Image after After-Image.

After about 5 minutes of this Pan sighs. "This is boring." Pan dodges Chun Hua's punch easily. "Hmmmm, how should I make this more fair?" Pan jumps to the side quickly as Chun Hua performs a Dodon-Ray. "Oh, I know, I'll close my eyes." Pan laughs and closes her eyes, still easily dodging Chun Hua's attacks.

After awhile Pan gets bored again. "I guess it's time to end this." Pan still has her eyes closed, Chun Hua is breathing heavily.

"H..How? I..I know the Son family is powerful, but I can tell you're holding back Son Pan, don't, finish me honorably!" says Chun Hua, almost unable to move.

Pan opens her eyes slowly. "No offense intended Chun Hua, you are fast and powerful and you have alot of skill, you just aren't as good as your father was and I'm almost as good as my Grandfather." Pan smiles. "Oh and i'm the first female Super Saiyan." Pan starts to power-up, her hair breaking free of the bandana holding her hair from her face as it sticks up, slowly turning gold, her dark eyes turn light green and the soft white aura around her turns a dark gold.

"It was a fun fight, like I thought. But I had hoped for more of a challenge." Pan flies towards Chun Hua as she says this, grabs her by her shoulder and gently drops her off the side of the ring.

Afterwards she reverts to normal and heads back to Trunks and Goten.

 

[Youkikun]

Goten blushed and laughed while he scratched the back of his head, looking almost just like his dad.

"The addrenelin got to my head I guess. But I don't regret it. And I'll just be sure to hide out with Mr. Popo for awhile until your dad calms down."

He smiled and turned towards his niece's battle and cheered her on.

 

[Armphid]

Trunks nodded vageuly at Goten's words. Well...if they didn't see his father in the next day, Goten would be safe. Mother would straighten him out, and get him to accept the idea, though he would still hate it.

He watchd Pan's fight, noting the skill at which she employed the after-image technique. It was a simple enough trick, but she used it very well to fake out the sharp-eyed and power sensitive Chun Hua. "Pan...she's really come along, hasn't she?" "What a fighter she's become..." He wasn't aware that he was speaking out loud, his eyes following the dark-haired girl's movements. "And what a woman..."

He heard Goten snicker, and was about to respond, turning his eyes from the fight, when he felt something he had felt only five times before. The distinct and unmistakable elevation to Super Saiyan. "I don't believe it!" "PAN!"

Ther was so denying it. Her hair had swirled upwards, looking much like Goku's when he was Super, and it's golden color told what had happened plainly. The pulsing aura about her sang with power, the gold yellow seeming to bleach out the color of all that was near her.

Trunks stared, entranced. HIs eyes were wide, his mouth open. "In..incredible!" "Pan...she's a Super Saiyan!" It was obvious, and it was the stupidest thing he could have said, but it just slipped out. "She's amazing!" That wasn't even her full power, he was sure, but it was so strong. She was even more beautiful like this, though he knew that was the love of power he got from his father talking.

She walked back, took a look at Trunks's poleaxed expressioa nd grinned at him. He stared at her a moment longer before smiling back. "That was a heck of a surprise!" "Wow, Pan...I'm really impressed." "I always thought you had the will...I just didn't know if you had enough Saiyan blood to do it...you're one surprise after another, you know that?" It was an effort of will to keep from rushing her and doing as Goten had just done to Bra. He already liked her, hell...he was falling in love with her, but such power increased his desire for her tenfold.
