Chapter 21: "Confrontation"

Pan sat patiently on the rock she was leaning on just an hour ago. Thanks to her saiyan healing she was already recovering from child birth. 'I may just stand a chance.' She was staring at the sky for a long time wondering who would arrive first, when her question was answered and she saw a ship approaching. She hid in the underbrush lowered her ki as low as she could get it. She sat staring at the opening of the ship praying to Dende and hoping he could hear her. She stared as the ship opened and out came a tall man with a bandage on his arm and on his side.

'What the hell is the king doing here?'

"Spread out and find her men. I want her alive but do whatever it takes to bring her to me." Pan began creeping away as quietly as she could. When she was a good ways away she began running through the forest until she put a good mile between them and then began flying. But quickly fell to the ground as she was still weak from giving birth. She was once again forced to run, but felt the flying had taken more out of her then she thought and looked for shelter.

She found it soon enough in a small opening in the side of a mountain. She looked around and grabbed a huge boulder near the mountain and dragged it towards the entrance. She crawled inside the cave and with her last bit of strength she pulled the rock over the entrance. She once again began praying. 'Dende please give me time to recover. Just give me one day and I can fight. Just give me time.'

Unfortunately Dende was just too far away and within the hour the king's men found her and dragged her to the ship. She was dragged before the king and was held up by two guards.

"Well not the cat girl I wanted, but she will do. Take her to my chambers." Pan could do nothing but hang limply in the arms of the guards, until the guards were shot down that is. "What the hell," screamed an outraged prince. "What the hell are you doing here?"

"The girl is my property," said Mardol holding out his laser gun. 'Hey maybe I'll get lucky and they'll kill each other,' thought Pan. She very slowly dragged herself to the side of the ship where she leaned herself up against it.

"You'll have to fight me for her."

"So be it." Mardol dropped his gun and in the blink of an eye he was gone. So was the king. She looked between where the two men had stood to see Mardol's outstretched arm trying to punch the king, but being blocked by the kings own arms. The king took a swing at Mardol with his legs and knocked him down. But before Mardol could hit the ground he flipped back and landed on his feet sending a fist into the king's face. The king fell back but recovered and did a high kick, his foot connecting with Mardol's jaw with a sickening crunch.

The two then stood their facing each other. Blood dripping from the king's arms and blood dripping from Mardol's mouth. The two both rushed each other preparing their final attacks. Mardol extended his arm while the king readied a fist. They both came together and what Pan saw next made even her stomach turn. The king's punch harmlessly bounced off Mardol's chest with a weird crunch and guessed the cyborg's body had just broken the king's fist. But then Mardol's outstretched hand latched onto the king's face. And continued running past him pulling the kings head back and snapping his neck like a twig. But Mardol continued pulling and Pan felt like vomiting as she saw the king's head slowly and sickeningly being pulled from his body and tossed aside on the ground.

It was all Pan could do not to throw up, let alone try to get away. 'Oh well, at least my daughter is safe.' Mardol approached her form and leaned down. Pan shut her eyes ready to be smacked or punched or anything. Well anything except what he actually did. He kissed her. She tried to scream but that only allowed his tongue the access it wanted. She bit down hard nearly severing his tongue and he pulled back and backhanded her. "Stupid bitch." This time Pan did throw up, after having that in her mouth she didn't think anything more disgusting could possibly happen.

He grabbed her bodily and began dragging her towards his ship. She struggled as much as possible, but in her condition it wasn't much at all. They were at the mouth of his ship when she heard his voice.

"Let my fiancé go you slime bag." She turned with tears in her eyes to see the man she'd wanted to be with this last month or so. He looked a bit tired and pale, but Pan didn't look too much better.

"Trunks," she said finally letting her mouth say the name that was burning on her tongue. He smiled at her, a relieving smile for both of them. Pan felt she could stand there and stare at him for hours like that. She could have if she hadn't been thrown up against the side of the ship and blacked out.

"You bastard." With that the fight for Pan and what was probably the last of the saiyans began. Trunks was ready to lunge for him when Gohan grabbed him by the shoulder and held him back. Trunks looked back and stared at him for a long time, and looked into those dark eyes, the same eyes as Pan and nodded running to Pan's side cradling her head in his arms.

Gohan turned to Mardol and threw his glasses away and got into a defensive position in his orange guy. "You stole my daughter and put her through hell and I don't know what you've done with my grandchild, but you will not mess with the Son family and come away unscathed."

Gohan plowed forward his fist contacting with Mardol's head and he floated there stuck in time as he realized it didn't have any effect on him. Unfortunately he realized this too late as Mardol grabbed him by the neck and began bashing him into the huge boulder Pan was sitting on earlier. Gohan felt the throbbing pain in his head multiply with every blow. He quickly powered up into super saiyan level 2 (AN: I haven't seen much of GT so I don't know how far he actually gets up to). He was then able to pry Mardol's hands from his throat and shove him back. Mardol smiled a crooked smile and made a weird hissing buzzing noise before his arms shot out and grabbed Gohans' and pulled them behind his back and continued to pull no matter how much Gohan struggled. Everyone gasped as they heard a loud crack come from Gohan's left arm and heard his scream of agony.

Vegeta began to step forward powering up but Gohan stopped him. "No Vegeta, this is my fight, if I fail you have to take my place, but until then it is still my fight!" Vegeta nodded backing away, but keeping his power level the same. With Gohan's now broken left arm he decided it was already out of commission and it wouldn't be used against him much longer. He ducked down and attempted to turn so he would face Mardol with their arms crossed together. But he hadn't accounted for Mardol's tight grip. And as Gohan was turning Mardol pulled his entire arm off and laughed as Gohan fell to his nears crying in pain. His cries made everyone visibly wince in pain themselves. Bra looked like she was on the verge of tears and Goten…Goten's eyes looked dark.

Before anyone could stop him Goten had rushed forward already powered up to super saiyan level 2 (AN: Once again don't know their actual limit). He reached out with his hands and latched onto Mardol's face and began crushing it. People could see the blood running out from Goten's fingers and heard a cry of unliving torture come from Mardol. Before anyone was able to blink Mardol let go of Gohan and grabbed Goten's hands and crushed them without a second thought. Goten cried out in pain, but Mardol wasn't done with him yet. He had a tight hold on his hands and began head butting him repeatedly. Blood was flowing freely from both skulls, but whose blood it was no one could tell. Goten staggered back and fell over backwards as Mardol suddenly released him. Goten was barely in super saiyan level 1 mode and was bound to fall out of it any second with the blood he was loosing and the stabbing pain.

"Goten," came Bra's cry. She tried to run to him, but Vegeta grabbed onto her and wouldn't let her go.

"Go on the ship and grab the senzus," said Vegeta quietly. Bra nodded and started for the ship, but was cut off when Mardol jumped in front of her and forcefully shut the hatch. Bra screamed and fell backwards staring in disbelief as he used his eyes to shoot lasers and seal the hatch shut. He smiled evilly and took a step towards Bra when a foot came at his head. And somehow at the last second Mardol moved out of the way and grabbed the leg at the knee. And with one swift motion brought Gohan's knee down on its side to Mardol's and shattered Gohan's kneecap. Gohan wailed in pain and fell to the ground now down to super saiyan level one. He tried to float instead of standing on the shattered knee, but found that as the seconds ticked by he lost more and more blood and with every drop he lost, he lost a bit more ki. All Mardol would have to do is wait him out. But Mardol was not the patient type.

All Gohan saw before he passed out on the ground was the evil smirk that all of his old enemies had held before they had killed his friends and his fist connecting with his face. He was out in a second. Vegeta looked over to Bra who was tending to Goten's wounds and trying to make him comfortable for if he came to. Vegeta could have easily blasted the hatch door open and let his daughter get the senzus. But it wouldn't have made a difference. It is not honorable to fight a man unless it is one on one. Even though Vegeta had gone against it many times he still felt ashamed afterwards, no matter what good it was for. But not this time, this time he would not feel ashamed as he beat this enemy on his own. Not only that but this was a cyborg, it never ran out of energy. If he had already defeated the two others if they just healed them and let them go at it again the result would be the same.

So now it was Vegeta who stepped forward and took his place to fight as his daughter leaned over Gohan and slowed the bleeding the best she could. If worse came to worse she could use what little strength she had to break the hatch. She wasn't an ordinary human, but she wasn't a fighter either. Vegeta now turned to face his opponent. She smirked as he began slowly rising through the different super saiyan power levels finally standing in front of Mardol in his black leather pants and a body covered in red fur, his tail swinging wildly as he stood in super saiyan level 4 form. Vegeta let Mardol come to him, which he did rather quickly.

Vegeta easily dodged his hits and punches and brought his own fists and feet against the cyborg and smirked evilly as he saw the effect this was having on the wind-up toy. He began to chuckle as the bottom of his foot once again met with Mardol's face and the lizard cyborg went sprawling to the ground. But this time the lizard stayed down. Vegeta couldn't tell if he was down for good or not. He couldn't detect a ki because he wasn't really alive, but they hadn't been fighting long enough for Vegeta to knock him out already.

He cautiously stood there awaiting the lizard man's next move. Unfortunately for him it wasn't he who attacked. It was only right after the electronic dart hit Vegeta that he felt a small ki about 15 meters away in the brush. He turned as the electricity burned through his body to see the woman who had captured Pan and screamed in agony as his body shook uncontrollably from the electric current. He felt a pang of utter helplessness as right before he passed out he noticed the shadows on the ground and what could have been his savior if he had only noticed. 'God I wish that that cat-woman was still with us," thought Bra. 'What business was so important that she had to leave for Earth immediately? We need her now!'

Trunks sat there cradling Pan still. 'How could that be? Gohan, Goten, Dad, everyone is out. That leaves only me. Pan, please hold on. I will not go down without a fight.' Trunks stood and cautiously made his way to stand in front of Mardol. He took up his defensive position the same as the other three before him and stood waiting for Mardol to get to his feet. But when Mardol did Trunks had to do a double take as he saw a good part his machine face smashed in with his father's boot print in it. The cyborg stood in front of him as certain body parts involuntarily twitched and his speech was messed up.

"You-you can not have-have her. She is-is my prop-prop-property. You will-will have to fight-fight me for her-her." Trunks hoped this was the opening he needed to defeat him. He gulped and powered up to super saiyan level 2. He stood watching Mardol and was ready for his attack as Mardol leapt at him and kicked Trunks square in the stomach knocking the wind out of him and slammed Trunks head into his knee. But as Trunks head was headed for Mardol's knee Trunks flipped the rest of his body above him and Mardol's head landed between Trunks legs. And as Trunks head came up from being slammed into the knee he flipped over Mardol's body and slammed him into the ground with his legs. Mardol hit the ground with a splat and a metallic clang. But Trunks knew something was wrong when he went to pull him legs away and felt Mardol's death grip on her legs. "SHE'S MINE!" Mardol swung him by his legs against the boulder Pan was on earlier (AN: Poor boulder it's so abused). He continued slamming Trunks down even as the rock began to crack and break. Trunks tried a ki blast to his body, but only burnt away the flesh revealing the more mechanical part of Mardol. As well as tried to repeatedly assault him with his fists, but they had no effect on the cyborg.

Trunks felt the light dim before his eyes. 'The light? Wait the light!' He fell back into unconscious before he could give a clue to what could be their safety. But even though Trunks was out cold he continued to beat his body until it seemed even if Trunks was alive he wouldn't be for long. He raised Trunks up again and felt searing heat and pain as a Destructo Disk (AN: Sorry can't remember the jap name for it), cut through both of his arms and his arms and Trunks body fell to the ground. Mardol screamed and turned to see Pan standing perfectly still. But something was wrong. She looked upset and on the verge of breaking down, but her body was as calm as the wind right now. He stared and gasped as he saw her solid charcoal eyes turn an exciting green and her long black hair flair with a golden color and realized that this was not the same thing he had just fought in the four other men. This was something else. This was, the first female super saiyan, and she was mad.

Will Pan be able to defeat Mardol? Will anyone make it on the ship to be healed? What was it that both Trunks and Vegeta saw that could help Pan win? Will Tamiyo have to be raised by Videl and ChiChi? Find out in the next chapter: "Final Fight."

AN: Just to ask, what did you think of the fight scenes? Were they realistic enough? Really like your input on this.
