Lucky Chance 7

I woke up, bright and early. Today was the day that I was traveling to the past. I took a shower and got dressed into a pair of baggy jeans and my green Capsule Corp. jacket. I was still half awake by the time I got to the kitchen. Obaasan was making breakfast and mom was reading one of grandma's old magazines. They both looked at me when I walked in.

"Panny, this is it." Obaasan whimpered. "You're going to the past? I hope you stay safe and fight those androids." I grinned while at the same time a little shocked by grandma's words. She never liked the idea of anyone fighting.

"Baasan," I said. "I'll only be gone for a few hours, maybe a day at the most. All I'm doing is warning the others about the threat and then helping them fight. It shouldn't take more than a day."

"I know," grandma complained. "But anything can happen in a day. I'm just so worried." Mom stood up.

"Hon, you got a couple hours till you have to leave," she said slowly. "I've got something for you." She walked into the living room and pulled an orange cloth from behind a pillow. "I made this bandana out of your father's gi. It's a good reminder." Her eyes welded up with tears.

"Mom, you didn't have to." I whispered. She walked behind me and tied up the cloth around my head.

"You have to blend in. They have a different style back then." mom told me. "Besides, I like the bandana. Now remember, be careful. Make it back alive. And maybe this world will be different for all of us." I nodded. We ate breakfast and they followed me the Capsule Corp. Trunks was waiting with Bulma. I took a deep breath.

"Okay," Bulma explained. "This is the medication for Goku's heart disease. You give it to him three years before the androids, then make a trip to three years after and help fight. Then the last trip will be back here. Hopefully, everything should work out and our world might change. But if it doesn't, then we can be relieved that we changed someone's world. Oh, one more thing!" She paused and ran inside. She came back out with a black marker and wrote 'Hope!!' on the side of the time machine. "This will be a good reminder of your mission. So, I guess that's it. Good luck you two. Oh, by the way Pan, it might be a good idea if you leave your umm...'father' a secret. I know that it's probably hard, but if you tell, then your birth might not happen. He was kinda young." I giggled and nodded. Trunks took the small vile of pills for grandpa and place it in his pocket. "Do me a favor. Don't drop the medication." I gave mom and grandma a hug.

"Bye okaasan. Bye obaasan. I'll be back, I promise." Mom wiped a tear from her eye. "I love you." Trunks said his good-byes to Bulma and we hopped into the ship. Trunks took the driver seat and I took the seat next to it. I glanced at him and he smiled.

"We'll get through this." he said. "Trust me." He gave my hand a reassuring squeeze, started up the controls and set the date on the time frame. I waved goodbye to my family and Bulma as the ship took off. Trunks pressed the 'go' button and in a flash, they disappeared and our view of the outside was replaced by darkness for a split second.

The scenery returned once more and we landed in a desert area. I grabbed my sword and strapped it on my back, as did Trunks. We left the ship and capsulized it. I looked around.

"So...where is everyone?" I asked. Trunks shrugged. I sensed out where they might be and sensed a powerful being heading straight to Earth.

"I can sense someone heading to Earth." I told Trunks. "He's stronger than the others, but he's so weak compared to us! But it's definitely not grandpa." Trunks started laughing. It was the first time in a long while I had actually heard him laugh. I wrapped my arms around his neck.

"C'mon. We may as well take care of him. Mom told me about this guy. A changeling named Freeza. She never told me what happened to the guy, just that he was defeated before they got there. She thinks maybe it was mutiny. And then, two hours later, Goku showed up."

"Alright, let's go! And just one more thing. I know that Bulma-san said not to tell Goku about dad, but could we tell him anyway? I wanna see the look on his face." Trunks gave me a weird look.

"Are you crazy? Don't you realize what might happen? You won't be born."

"I won't be born anyway if this works out. At least I want people to know I existed. I wanna go out with a bang!"

"You're very strange. 'Out with a bang.' You make it seem like you're a bomb." he commented. I laughed. We took off and flew through the air, spotting the ship in the distance. It prepared to land. Trunks and I pushed our ki to the lowest so we wouldn't get noticed. As we got closer, I saw some people climbing the rocks. I wondered who they were and why they were all the way out here. Suddenly, I saw a familiar blue-haired woman. Bulma! It was the past warriors. They were going to fight? I tapped Trunks' shoulder.

"I saw Bulma!" I said. Trunk looked behind us to see for himself, but we were too far now.

"Right on cue." he said slyly. We kept flying until we got to the site where Freeza had landed. He was accompanied by a large guy.

"That's King Kold." Trunks said. Freeza was ordering some men to go somewhere. Trunks and I got out our swords and launched at the goons as they jumped into the air, slicing them up. Freeza noticed quickly. We landed on the ground in front of him and sheathed our swords.

"So you're Freeza." Trunks said. "I've been waiting a long time to meet you face to face." I held in my laughter. Trunks hadn't been waiting. He didn't even know Freeza would be here. But, the speech made good effect. Freeza was annoyed now.

"Who are you two?" Freeza demanded.

"Your worst nightmare." I growled. Freeza chuckled a bit.

"You brats are asking for it. Head guard. Take care of them." An alien stepped forward.

"With pleasure." he grunted. He pressed a button on his scouter and it beeped, counting 5 as our power level. "Feh, you kids aren't even worth it. But, an order is an order." He raised his gun and fired. Trunks simply deflected it. The guard gasped. He fired three more, which were deflected as well. Before he knew it, Trunks was in his face, punching his jaw. Freeza was unimpressed.

"Guards!" he barked. "Surround them and take them down." The guards obeyed and made a circle around us. Trunks nodded at me and I smirked. They ran at us and I unsheathed my sword. In a matter of seconds, the guards were cut up. Me and Trunks put our swords back in their cases. One guard was left. He backed up slowly and was gutted by Freeza.

"Coward." Freeza hissed. King Kold hadn't said a thing since we had got there. I began to wonder if he could speak at all.

"So, Freeza. Are you going to attack me yourself, or are you going to send more of your men at me? It takes balls for you to come all the way here, half dead in a tin suit, just to be killed by us." Trunks insulted.

"You stupid boy. If I take you on, you won't survive even a minute." Freeza boosted. "Besides, I don't have time for you. I'm waiting for someone else."

"So I heard." Trunks said. "Well I'm canceling your date with Goku." I looked at him strangely. Date?

"What's a goku?" asked King Kold. I resisted from bursting out laughing.

"Dad," Freeza complained. "If you don't mind, will you please try to keep up." Freeza turned back to Trunks. "I take it you know that worthless saiya-jin?"

"By reputation, but we'll meet soon enough."

"We'll just see about that."

"Enough kidding around. It's time I showed you who I really am. You're about to see what it's like to fight a real super saiya-jin. And I'm not talking about Goku." Freeza gasped. Then, he started laughing.

"You really crack me up, kid. Now beat it before I beat you!" Trunks simply smirked. He began charging up. I back up to give him room. This was going to be an impressive light show. He yelled out as he charged up to super saiya-jin. His hair turned gold and his eyes turned green. Freeza was scared as hell. When Trunks finished transforming, he grinned.

"Was it something I said?" he asked. Freeza got really angry and fire a ki ball at Trunks. I backed off again as the blast hit Trunks. I smirked. When the dust cleared, Trunks was still standing, not even a scratch.

"I hope that's not the best you can do," he mocked. "Cause if it is, you don't stand a chance." Freeza was rendered speechless. Then, he fire another larger ki ball at him. Trunks blocked it and it was broken up into thousands of small beams that crash into the ground.

"I'll give you one more try. If you can't beat me, I'm taking you down." Trunks offered. Freeza flew up into the sky and started charging up a small ball of energy, which grew larger and larger. When Freeza thought it was big enough, he launched it at Trunks, who just stood there, unimpressed.

"That's pathetic." I muttered. The ki ball engulfed Trunks and dug its way into the ground. Freeza landed on the ground and turned to me.

"Your turn, girl!" he growled. I looked behind him.

"I think you should watch your back." I said. Freeza turned around and saw the large ball rising from the ground. Trunks emerged from the crater and held the energy ball.

"Excuse me. Is this yours?" he asked mockingly. Freeza growled and fired a small ki beam at the larger one. There was a huge explosion. Freeza grinned at the results and turned back to me.

"It took you four tries just to kill him?" I insulted. I spotted Trunks on a cliff side. He gave me the cue the get out of the way. He did the hand motions for his Burning Attack and I jumped up just as he finished.

"Hey Freeza!" he yelled. He fired the attack and it hit just where Freeza was, but he had dodged the blast. Trunks nodded at me to finish him off. I unsheathed my sword and flew just above Freeza. He had a completely shocked face on as I brought the sword over my head and cut right through him. He was still in a state of shock when he started to come apart. I continued slicing left and right, then I finished of the small parts of Freeza with my Spell Bound attack. Once I was sure that Freeza was gone, I landed on the ground and tossed my sword back into its sheath. King Kold was very impressed. He didn't seem the slightest concerned about his son's death. Trunks landed beside me.

"Well played, kids." King Kold complimented. "With a force like you two, we could rule the whole universe. Freeza was much too weak, but you two could have it all." I rolled my eyes.

"No thanks." I said in a bored voice. In the corner of my eye, I saw some people hiding behind a ridge in a cliff. It was the Z gang again. I couldn't quite see them, but I knew they were there.

"If you wouldn't like to join," King Kold said. "That's fine. But a good swordsmen like yourself--" I glared at him. "Sorry, good swordswoman like yourself should allow me the honor of examining your sword." I grinned and nudged Trunks.

"Fine." I said and handed over my sword. King Kold examined it carefully.

"Hmmm...remarkable. I believe that this must have some power to it. If you hadn't had it, you probably wouldn't have been able to destroy my son so quickly." I shrugged.

"Whatever."

"Ah ha! Now that I have your sword, I'll be able to defeat you." he said gleefully.

"Whatever." I muttered again. Kold rose the sword over his head and took a whack at me, but I simply caught the blade. "You should know better. A sword is just a sword, but it depends on who uses it, you dumb bastard." I blasted him right through the stomach and he hit a nearby cliff wall. I let Trunks finish him off as I blasted the ship they came in. As a trick, I tossed my sword up and it landed perfectly in its sheath on my back. From up above, I heard gasps. I had already knew that the warriors had moved in for a closer look. I tapped Trunks' shoulder and pointed to them. He dropped out of super saiya-jin and looked up at them.

"Hey!" he called to them. "I'm going to a place where I'll meet Goku! Do any of you guys wanna come along?" I heard them chatter among themselves. I saw Bulma being carried by some guy, but I couldn't quite see who. He must be Vegeta.

"C'mon!" I called. "It's just over here!" They still didn't move. So me and Trunks simply took off without them. After a few seconds they finally came along. We landed in the area Trunks' tracking device told us.

"It still works with the original satellite." he said cheerfully. The others were very suspicious. Now that I was closer, I could see all the fighters. The guy that Bulma had been holding on to wasn't Vegeta after all. That was Yamcha. I had only seen a few pictures of him. He was Bulma's boyfriend before Vegeta. Trunks reached in his pocket and pulled out a capsule. He threw it out and it exploded into a fridge.

"Careful guys." said the guy holding Bulma. "They're up to something." Trunks pulled a soda from the fridge and handed me one.

"It sure is hot out here." he said, trying to coaxes them into trusting us. The others talked amongst themselves again while Trunks and I sipped our drinks.

"Not very trusting, are they?" I whispered to Trunks. Finally, a small boy stepped forward.

"Wait Gohan!" yelled a short bald guys said. Gohan?! I felt my heart race.

"Relax, Krillin." Bulma said as she stepped forward. "They're just drinks." Gohan and Bulma examined the drinks we had. Gohan pulled out a soda and Bulma picked some beer. Krillin loosened up and took a drink too. Bulma looked at me and Trunks.

"Hey, you two look familiar. Have we met?" she asked. I nearly choked on my pop.

"No, sorry." Trunks replied.

"Excuse me, sir," Gohan said. I giggled quietly at his young voice. "How do you know my dad?"

"Actually, we haven't met your dad." I answered.

"Then how do you know he'll be here?" asked Krillin.

"Um...sorry, I can't tell you that." I muttered.

"Why not?" yelled a spike-hair guy. Now that I looked at him, I recognized him as Vegeta. "I'll tell, you two are up to something. So why don't you just tell us who you are?"

"Sorry," Trunks said. "I wish we could tell you."

"When you fought Freeza, you were a super saiya-jin, right?" asked Gohan.

"Yeah, I was." Trunks said.

"That's bull!" yelled Vegeta. "There are only two true saiya-jins left. Kakorrot and myself. If you include mop-top over there, that makes three. Where did you get your saiya-jin blood from?!" We were quiet.

"But he just defeated Freeza!" Gohan defended.

"I'm calling him a liar, not a weakling." Vegeta spat. Bulma looked at me and Trunks' jackets and noticed the Capsule logo on it.

"Hey, you guys are wearing a Capsule jacket. That's my dad's company. Do you guys work there?"

"No, not exactly." Trunks answered. "We're just fans."

"Oh okay," Bulma said in a friendly voice. "Just give me your names and I can recommend you to dad."

"We can't do that." I said slowly. "It is a little weird, but kinda necessary."

"Ooh, are your shoe sizes a secret too?" taunted the three eyed man.

"Why can't I have a secret name too?" Yamcha asked sarcastically.

"Quit it!" Bulma ordered. Even in the past, she still took charge. "You're just jealous that they beat Freeza." Vegeta laughed bitterly. I was beginning to regret coming. They were really rude. Bulma winked at Trunks. He blushed furiously and I held in my laughter. His own mother was hitting on him. I pretended to look away.

For one hour, we waited. I sneaked a few glances at Gohan. He was such an adorable kid, with his messy hair and the little saiya-jin outfit. Trunks looked over at Vegeta. Vegeta seemed to be watching us like a hawk.

"What are you staring at, boy?" he demanded.

"Um...I...think your shirt is...cool?" he stammered.

"You would." Vegeta grunted. It was funny how much the two looked alike. The eyes, their faces, of course not the hair. If I had met Vegeta first, I probably would have fallen for him instead of Trunks. But Vegeta's personality was horrible. Trunks looked at him again.

"What are you gawking at?! Haven't you ever seen a pink shirt before? If you like it so much, then take it." I covered my mouth and laughed inside. He glared at me. "And what are you laughing at?"

"Nothing." I said. He continued to stare daggers at me. Yamcha started getting uneasy about this whole thing.

"What if Goku's not coming?" he complained. "What if we're wasting our time?"

"Well, how long has it been?" asked Bulma.

"One hour."

"Then chill out for another hour!"
