The next few months were hard for both Pan and Vegeta. Pan had been sent to live with Zarbon and Vegeta with
Dodoria. Vegeta was grief stricken when he finally accepted that his planet had been destroyed. He had received
his first mission from Freeza. It was only a training mission to test his capabilities, and would be supervised by
Dodoria. He was to locate all the natural resources on a planet and clear any sentient life found. It was a newly
discovered planet, so life was unknown to exist. There were no radio signals, so it was assumed that if there was
sentient life it was pre-radio and deemed not a threat. Just a new place to exploit.

Pan was considerably softer than Vegeta and Zarbon decided to train her before doing any field exercises. Training
meant forcing her to fight for her life. He would frequently beat her for freezing in combat. Beatings ranged from a
few hits, to near death. One time she had failed to contain a sob, so Zarbon broke both of her legs and forced her
to walk to the med lab on them. Pan wanted to die, but first she wanted to be free. She made a resolution with
herself one night when she was sleeping on the floor at the foot of Zarbon's bed. She would kill Zarbon, then kill
herself. She knew she'd have to wait until she was stronger and older. Her power level was only 450. She didn't
know what Zarbon's was, but she knew he was an elite, which meant one of at least 10000.

Pan had her first purging mission when her power level reached 1000, at age 6. She was to take care of a planet
which was supposedly rich in yuminum, an element which was weak on it's own, but when combined with titanium
created a super alloy which could absorb ki blasts and was almost invincible. Freeza had no need for it, as he had
enough, but the planet had so much that it would sell for an astronomical price. Freeza believed that a rival planet
trader may also have interest in it, so he wanted it done quickly. She had learned to fear Freeza unlike anything
ever before.

Inside Pan always had an aching sense of sorrow for something she couldn't remember. She had no idea why she
had it, but the ache was there and it wouldn't go away. It etched away at her heart slowly making it raw with hate.
Further hate came from Zarbon and Freeza, who shunned her and beat her to the brink of death. Whenever the
freak known as Freeza came close to her she felt like hiding. He was the only one who scared her anymore. Zarbon,
while she was wary of him and hated him with a passion, he just didn't scare her. Not anymore. He didn't have that
evil feel about him. He was a bad person, sick, twisted and without morals, but he wasn't evil like Freeza was.
Zarbon was selfish and thought only about himself. If killing a billion people got Zarbon something he wanted, he'd
do it. Freeza would kill a billion people just for the sake of proving that he could.

And 10 years later Pan wasn't much different. She cleared thriving planets of all life weekly and without remorse. In
fact, she enjoyed it if it were hard. With a power level of 12000 she had become a 3rd class elite. She was not well
known however, as on all her missions, Zarbon came with her and took all the credit for her work. Even after ten
years she still could hardly land a punch on Zarbon in a 'sparing match'. Things had not changed in that respect. She
was still regularly beaten. The only difference was that they were harsher than ever. Very often she would have to
drag herself to the med lab with all limbs broken and internal organs on the outside. The doctors were awed time
after time when she didn't die. She seemed to have some kind of safeguard. If she wasn't being killed, she was
recovering. Life couldn't get any worse, right? Wrong. As of late Zarbon had been showing physical interest in Pan.
She was of course, disgusted. He had offered her deals where she could avoid a beating if she slept with him. She
accused him of blackmail and he beat her as a result, but he never took her against her will.

Her only friend was a woman named Eva. She was a doctor who was there for Pan when she was incapacitated.
They were opposites in most respects. Eva was polite, Pan was rude. Eva was happy to help anyone, Pan was
happy to kill anyone. How the two got on is hard to understand, but they did. Pan would never openly admit that
she was fond of Eva, but she knew that if she ever had to kill Eva it would be hard to do. One day after she had
come out of regeneration tank, she expected to see Eva there, but instead found Zarbon. She sneered at him.
'What do you want?' Zarbon trotted around the empty room in silence. Pan was becoming impatient. She put her
armor back on while he was walking.

'Pan, as you know, you have claimed that I have blackmailed you about having sex with you, correct?' Pan made a
disgusted face, but nodded. 'Well, since you seem to be expecting blackmail, I may as well do it. I have Doctor Eva,
and if you're not in my bed tonight, she'll be killed,' he stated matter-of-factly. Pan's face became one of pure rage
and she lunged at him without a second thought. He anticipated her sloppy attack and knocked her out cold in a
single strike. He walked out without causing further damage. After all, he wanted her to be working tonight.
Unknown to Pan at the time, Vegeta, Nappa and Raditz had been given a whore by the name of Eva. Being weak,
she had died hours ago.

So Pan slept with Zarbon that night. She hated herself for it, even more than she hated Zarbon. When she found
out that Eva had already died, she attacked Zarbon in his sleep. She slept at the foot of his bed as always, so
getting to him was no problem. She had permanently scarred his face, but he survived.

Pan never did find out who had killed Eva. Zarbon had proof that he didn't do it in the form of computer records, so
Pan had to believe him. She still hated him for it though and would use every ounce of her life to kill him.
