A/N: FF.net made me sick when they announced the banning of NC-17 fics. Make sure you protest, as this is barging in on the free worlds freedom of speech. Many a horrid thing sizzle and spit within my mind, things far worse than a bit of sex, or even a bad porno flick. And I'm only 15. I think the whole idea of ratings is wrong, as it is the parents' place to decide what their YOUNG children watch, not the laws'. We (The Teenagers) should be allowed to watch, read and know about whatever the fuck we want.
These are some of my core believes. If you don't agree, then whatever. If you try to oppresses them, as FF.net has done, then may you die a million horrific deaths at the hands of a billion twisted tormenters over a trillion years of tyranny and greed, only to rot beyond comprehension for an eternity of eternities both in mind and soul, until nothing remains of your once proud vestige.

Aenia walked down the crowded street with her shopping bags in hand. She went around causally looking at the market stalls, waiting to see something she might like. She walked over to a roofed stall, where a being with orange skin, much like her own, was sorting through the various items. When she approached the thing behind the counter looked up. Aenia was waiting for the shopkeeper to address her first, as was custom, and became offended when it didnÕt after several seconds. A faint, but mighty rumbling made her realise that the shopkeeper was looking at the sky, and not at her. She turned around and looked up to see two fire balls closing in. People began to panic and run and shout as the duel objects came closer. They crashed somewhere in the city, which was a fairly small one when compared to the other cities on the planet. Mere seconds after the things crashed, huge explosions began to rumble. They went on for a minute when they ceased. The sudden lack of deafening blasts made the mass hysteria much more apparent. The rumbling came back and grew louder and louder when suddenly a huge ball of fire which had started miles away swept through the market.
Pan dusted her hands and admired her handiwork. When they landed Nappa had begun to blast everything in sight. She had ordered him to stop wasting time, and had finished the city in a single blast.
'Come on Nappa, we must find Vegeta. I'll check the scouter,' said Pan as her hand lifted to her face and she turned on the scouter. She scanned the whole planet. It was a planet full of weaklings, but with a few strong ones, and one really strong one. Her scouter exploded when she read it. She didn't catch it before the scouter failed, but she knew it was stronger than either her or Vegeta. That one troubled her. It would take her and Vegeta together to best it. She couldn't find Vegeta's one. She sighed and decided to go on with the mission. She and Nappa parted ways to finish the mission quicker. She didn't know what planet she was on, as Freeza had been very brief. All he said was destroy everything. As she flew through the densely populated countryside, her mind wandered back to the prince of her people. The last time she saw him he was almost dead and slung over Zarbon's shoulder. Her blood boiled. He was a prince, and Zarbon was nothing but a henchman. The prince of the mighty Saiya-jin empire should be treated with respect, not eviscerated. She decided to get back to the situation at hand. She came upon another city. She flew up high, but couldn't see an end to it. She flew onward, looking for the center.
Life was normal in the major city, built on a grassy plain thousands of years ago. Apart from the odd hill, the ground was totally flat. It had buildings thousands of feet tall in all shapes and sizes. In the very center was a massive palace, looking much like a walled fortress, which towered above all the other buildings. The city itself spread on for hundreds of miles, but by no means decreased in height. High-rise condos occupied every space available. Few single houses existed as only the very rich could afford them. It was an everyday day, All eight hundred million of it's citizens were going about their everyday tasks. Then came Pan. She hovered about a mile above the palace and looked around. The city spread for as far as she could see. She automatically knew that a city this size had to have some good defences. She remained wary. Soon, a fleet of space faring battleships converged on Pan. She smirked as they opened fire. She easily dodged all their shots, which ripped through the city, bringing whole buildings down. *At this rate, I won't even have to destroy the city* Thought Pan wryly. The ships descended so that their shots went up, instead of down. Pan grew bored after this and blasted them all, bringing them down in one shot each. The battleships plunged one by one as they were destroyed into the city before exploding. Buildings that housed whole families, and offices with hundreds of working people fell into huge piles of rubble and smoke. Once all the battle ships were out of the way, a lone figure flew from the palace and confronted Pan. It was a she, and was dressed in noble looking robes. Pan sneered at her and blasted her. When the smoke cleared, the woman was still there.
'Leave here at once, Saiya-jin, or face the consequences!' Demanded the woman in a feminine, but stern voice. Pan turned and gave the woman her full attention.
'What if I don't?' Dared Pan.
'Then I shall make you pay the consequences!' Pan stared at her and laughed evilly.
'What? Your nothing but a prissy noble girl who doesn't know what sheÕs talking about.' Pan blasted her again, and once again she came away without a scratch.
'I'm Princess Chihiro, and as the daughter of Lord Hantre, I am trained to defend my people, espcically from Freeza's Saiya-jin lap dogs,' she said in her princessly voice. Pan growled and lunged for her. No one called her that and lived. Meanwhile, she failed to notice Vegeta's pod crashing into the palace. Chihiro dodged Pan by going to the side. Pan lunged again and again, but kept missing.
'It's pointless. YouÕll never be able to catch me. Leave now, and never return, or die. This is my final warning. What do you say?' Asked Chihiro.
'Fuck you,' came Pan's reply. Chihiro's face saddened.
'So be it. I saw your future, Pan. You had so much to look forward to. Now, because you chose violence over peace, hate over love, you shall never know these things.' Chihiro produced a slim, but long dagger, and a small vial. She dipped the dagger in the liquid, and wordlessly lunged at Pan.
Before Pan could react, Chihiro crashed into her, and all went numb. The sound of the burning city below, of the wind rushing past her ears. It all vanished. All that could be heard was the slowing beat of Pan's own heart. All time seemed to slow, so that only her and Chihiro were actually alive. She very slowly pulled her head back and looked at Chihiro with disbelief. Chihiro stared back with pity. She collapsed into Chihiro's awaiting arms, completely limp. She tried to form words, but her lips were dry, her throat was burning. She could feel Chihiro pull the dagger from her heart and gasped.
'But only after your dead, will you realise you strength. How this works, I'm not sure, but I saw it, and I saw into your soul,' said Chihiro.
Pan forced words to come. She struggled to speak, her dry throat lubricated only by the rising blood, but only one thing could she get past her lips.
'I don't have a soul,' whispered Pan. Chihiro didn't say anything. She just calmingly stroked Pan's hair, meaning to give her comfort before death. The utter silence that had overcome Pan was shattered when an almighty roar erupted from behind Chihiro. Before either Chihiro or Pan knew what was happening, Chihiro's chest burst as Vegeta's arm plunged through it. She fell from the sky, dead, and Vegeta caught Pan and cradled her. Pan looked up at him and saw what she could only describe as forced indifference.
'We still have to kill Freeza together. If you die, you disgrace the Saiya-jin race,' he joked, trying to mask the truth that Pan may not survive. 'There's a regen tank in my pod. It's only a few seconds away.' Pan could hear a little bit more than a mere trace worry in his otherwise firm voice. She chuckled and sputtered, as blood threatened to drown her.
'Weakling,' she managed to whisper in jest. Before she knew what was happening, she was strapped into a regeneration tank and was submerged in liquid. The last thing she saw before what she thought to be death overcame her, was two blonde people fighting at a pace that she couldn't even fathom, one male, one female.
-----------------
It had been three weeks since Pan had been injured, and since then Vegeta and Nappa had been laying waste to the planet. The planet was by no means defenceless, as it was the capital planet of Freeza's rivals' empire, as Vegeta had learned. They took a little of it every day, and retreated to a dense forest a few hundred miles north of where the capital had been when they were tired. They were waiting for Pan to get better. Vegeta had hoped that Pan would get stronger from the injury, but Nappa told him that a wound such as hers would leave her with a bad heart and that she would never be as strong as she could have been. She was due out very soon. Vegeta was just about to eat an animal that Nappa had hunted when the pod bleeped, signaling that she was done. They had brought all the pods here, and Pan was in the middle one. She came out, dressed, ate and learned from Nappa about her seemingly doomed power level. It had even fallen to 12,000, even though she was almost completely healed. She was infuriated that she would never again be able to keep up with Vegeta. His power has risen to 26,000. At the rate he was going, he could become a member of the Ginyu force in a matter of weeks. Pan left in a blind rage to destroy the rest of the planet, and returned hours later when she was done.
They sat in silence eating the next day when Vegeta's scouter beeped, saying that there was an incoming transmission. Vegeta turned the scouter onto loud speaking, so that Nappa and Pan could hear. 'Sire? This is Raditz. I'm on earth, and my brother is indeed alive. He is weak and seems to have lost his memory. He believes that he is native to this world and has sworn to protect it. He has a son too, a half breed........he and a comrade of his are here. I'll report when I'm done.'
The trio of Saiya-jins listened to the battle and to their surprise, heard as Raditz was beaten and killed. They also learned of the dragon balls. It was unanimously decided to go to Earth. Vegeta wanted immortality, but Pan had other plans for the Dragon Balls.
