Lucky Chance 3

The next day, daddy began his training with us. First, he taught us punching and kicking. Then, he let us spar while he pointed out our mistakes. That lasted all day and we called it a night. The next day, dad secretly took us out to a field where we could learn some ki techniques. Trunks made up one called Burning Attack and I made up one called Spell Bound. We tested our attacks on each other and were both able to block them. Tousan said we were making great progress. Finally, late at night, he trained Trunks to be a super saiya-jin.

"Alright. Concentrate." dad said. I sat nearby watching. They stood in the field. "I've thought of a new idea that might work. It's a form of telepathic and dream reality. I need you to close your eyes. I'll explain a situation to you and you need to act it out in you head. When you open your eyes, you should be able to see it and it will be as real as possible. Okay?" Trunks nodded. "Good. Now, concentrate. Imagine you are at home. The androids attack it and your mother is caught in the middle. She runs to escape them, but is too slow. She gets caught underneath some of the falling debris. You try to save her, but the androids stand in your way." Trunks' eyes fluttered and he growled low, muttering something under his breath. "You attack the androids, but they simply laugh and trip you. You get up and attack again, but they simply block and dodge, mocking you, insulting you. Your mom is losing air by the minute, but you can't get to her in time. The androids laugh in your face, their cold, blue eyes piercing yours." I closed my eyes and imagined this all happening to me and I squinted for a second. When I opened my eyes, I could almost see kaasan under the debris. I rubbed my eyes and realized that this was the telepathic dream. I could see myself fighting the androids pathetically. Anger rose in me as my mother gasped for air. I was helpless to do anything. It felt so real. I watched as my mother took in a sharp breath and went limp. I gasped as if I was the one under the debris. My anger spiked and I let out a scream that pushed me out of the telepathic dream. Tousan and Trunks looked at me with shock and worry all over their faces.

"Pan, are you alright?" Trunks asked first. I nodded.

"I...saw..." I had difficulty saying anything. "I saw my mom...killed." I sobbed uncontrollably. Tousan came to my side and comforted me.

"It's alright. Videl's just fine. She's still alive." dad said. He rubbed my back. "I guess the situation was pretty good. We'll work on that later. Maybe we should go home." I nodded, still slightly traumatized. We flew to Capsule Corp. first to drop off Trunks, even if he was 13 and could go by himself, then we went home. I went to bed and had nightmares about losing everyone. But then, out of the darkness, a boy with blond hair emerged and vanquished the androids. His face was very similar to Trunks' and I wondered if that was what Trunks looked like as a super saiya-jin.

The next morning, I went sword shopping with Trunks. There were a few markets in secluded areas that sold food, supplies and weapons. I thought it'd be a great idea if we had swords, so I dragged Trunks out to get one. He had his sights on a faint purple, broad sword made from a special mineral. I picked a regular silver sword made from steel. We paid for our stuff, but had to get back to Capsule Corp. because the androids were nearby. We entered the house in hopes that Bulma-san wouldn't noticed the swords. But she did.

"What on Earth do you two think you're doing with those swords? Are you planning to take on the androids?"

"No!" We both said.

"Then what?" she demanded. We both quickly thought of an excuse.

"We...need...protection?" Trunks said nervously. Bulma sighed.

"I know what's going on. I wasn't born yesterday, you know. You are going to fight the androids and there isn't anything I can do to prevent you from doing it. Please, just be careful. I don't want to be a motherless widow." I was glad that Bulma understood.

The day had finally came. The day we would take on the androids. Mom had insisted that I stay behind, but I left anyway. We heard reports that the androids were attacking an amusement park where a shelter was located. We got there in time to see the diabolical duo getting on a merry-go-round. I wondered why they were playing around like regular teens, but didn't act like ones. The blond one saw us first.

"Well, well, well. What have we here?" Juunana taunted.

"If it isn't blondie, only his hair is black today." Juuhachi laughed.

"He's trying to copy my hair." Juunana sneered. Dad was unwaivered by their insults and crouched down into fight position. Me and Trunks did the same.

"What's this?" the male robot asked. "Blondie brought little boy wonder and super girl." I growled and bared my fangs.

"No." dad whispered to me. "You two stay behind. Don't get involved." I looked at him, but I remained silent and Trunks didn't object. Tousan jumped at Juunana and hit his jaw. He powered up to super saiya-jin. They fought for a few seconds, until Juuhachi interfered. I watched the battle intently. A normal human eye probably would have never seen how fast the three were moving. I could tell that dad was getting beaten. Trunks was powering up.

"Trunks, don't! Dad told us not to get involved." I warned.

"But if we don't do anything, he'll be killed." Trunks finished powering up and launched at the female. I had no choice but to help as well. Trunks and I took her by surprise and knocked her from the sky. She looked very unimpressed by our efforts and attacked us. We dodged and double-team attacked. She saw it coming and blocked.

"Why don't you kids get out of here." Juuhachi ordered as she played with a strand of hair. "Go play house somewhere else, unless you want to die."

"Why should we leave?" I demanded. "So you can beat up on my dad? Not a chance!" I jumped at the witch, my fists forward. She simply smiled and phased out. I blinked.

"Pan! Behind you!" Trunks yelled. I turned around just in time to see the stupid slut elbow me in the stomach. I felt all the air rush out and I bent over in pain. I held my stomach and Juuhachi slammed my back into the ground. I flew down, and I almost fainted from all the pain. Trunks jumped at Juuhachi to get her away from me. They jumped up to the top of the Ferris wheel. Everything seemed to move in slow-motion as Trunks fought the robot. She was doing fairly well on defense and took the offence, punching Trunks' chin, but he returned with a swift knee to her gut. I heard her gasp and she bitch slapped Trunks over the head. He fell backwards and almost fell off the wheel, but the robot caught him and held him firmly. She smirked at him.

"Go ahead." Trunks muttered. "Get it over with. You bitch!" Juuhachi's face shriveled into an ugly, angry face and she powered up a massive ki blast. I gasped.

"Trunks!" I cried. I zoomed up to Trunks' aid, and attempted to knock the attack out of her hand, but she back-handed me and I managed to kick her arm that was holding Trunks so that she released him, but we were still in range of Juuhachi's blast. Suddenly, dad appeared out of nowhere and grabbed us, shielding us from the monster's attacked. He was hit full blast and we landed with a thud on the ground. I was so weak, I didn't even have the strength to get up. I looked over at Trunks. He was still conscience, but barely breathing.

"Trunks?" I whispered. "We have to help dad." He nodded and slowly sat up, but collapsed on the ground again. Tousan appeared above us. He grabbed us and started running.

"I told you two not to interfere." he hissed. We quickly hid behind a wall. The androids didn't see and couldn't find us. My heart was beating faster than ever.

"Damn those hybrid humans!" Juunana cursed. "They gave us the slip again!"

"Oh well." Juuhachi said. "Wanna take some pop shots? Maybe we'll get lucky." They raised their hands and fired what seemed like thousands of energy beams. I closed my eyes tightly and waited for the end to come. My whole world faded into darkness.
