Fan Fiction / Dragon Ball/Z/GT Fan Fiction ❯ All Warriors Join and Fight! ❯ Arrival! Weird races and teenage tears. ( Chapter 3 )

***************************************************************** ************

The large white coach carrying the 18 fighters, pulled up outside a 5 star hotel named `Hotel Grande.' All the fighters disembarked; 9 female and 9 male competitors.

A large man, who looked like a bouncer, meandered over to the new arrivals.

“I am Gus.” the man said bowing “I will be here for the rest of your journey. Master Rael himself would have been here, yet, he is preparing the Miami fighting facilities and has much important work to do.”

He walked over to the door and said “follow me please. I will show you to your rooms.” All the fighters followed. If the reception area was anything to go by, then the rooms must be glorious. Old fashioned desks and stairs and a floor made from shimmering white marble.

“Please proceed to the top floor; floor 44. And then wait in the hallway. I will be along in a moment. Feel free to use the stairs or the lift.” Gus told them as he started talking seriously to the receptionist.

“ Lets go in the lift…” Tina slurred, obviously still not to happy about having to get up early…

“OK” the group replied back to her. The girls filed into the lift, including young Pan. `might as well, coz I know exactly what Grandpa's gonna do, and I just can't be bothered…'

As soon as the doors to the lift closed Goku declared “RACE TO THE TOP FLOOR!” Goku started running, closely followed by his two sons plus the new guys Laine and Ryder.

“Simpletons.” Vejita murmured to himself. Olly looked at Vejita curiously. Vejita rose into the air and flew up round the stairs. Olly's eyes widened slightly and he smirked.

“Now that's what I call a race!” Olly too rose into the air and raced after Vejita.

Vejita and Olly speed past Goku and the others

“Hey that's cheating!” Goku called after them pouting.

“well we can play that game to!” Goten called after them. Soon the whole group of male fighters had rose into the air and were zooming off after the Saiyan prince.

Vejita looked around to see that he was closely followed by a teenage boy with red hair and black eyes, who he immediately remembered as one of the other competitors. Vejita sped up and touched down in the hallway of the top floor. When Olly touched down too Vejita just glared at him suspiciously. The two didn't have to wait long until the rest of the guys reached the hallway. Vejita saw that Olly's brothers (Laine and Ryder) were also flying. When they all touched down Vejita wandered up to Ryder and Laine and said “you lot have some explaining to do.” the two brothers just looked at each other.

 

In the lift all the Dead or Alive girls were staring at Pan.

“Excuse me.” Kasumi said to Pan. The younger girl to face her. “But how old are you?”

“Roughly 14 Miss Kasumi.” Pan said sweetly with a smile.

“I'm just gonna come out and say this, but aren't you a bit young-” Tina started saying but was interrupted by a growl from Pan.

“To young to what? FIGHT! Fighting is my whole life. When I was a toddler I entered the Budokai in my town and I was up against all the adults coz there was no children's division and I won! I won against a giant beast who weighed tons and was like 6 feet tall and I still won god Dammit!” Pan glared daggers at Tina for a moment and then looked away.

“Yes, do not underestimate the child.” Every one looked to the corner to see Ayane, Christie and Helena leaning against the back wall. Pan pushed through the barricade of older women and looked at the three.

“May I ask who said that please.” Pan asked staring at the trio.

“I did.” said Helena straightening up.

“well thank you Miss Helena!” Pan said bowing.

“That is OK child. I believe in you.” She placed her hand on Pan's head.

“You know what Helena? I agree with you. I mean she's only 5 years younger than me, my sister and Lei-fang.” Kasumi said thinking deeply.

“Who is your sister Miss?” Pan asked not knowing.

“I am” Ayane said still leaning on the back wall.

“Er… yeah… What actually is your name?” Lei-fang asked.

“how rude of me! I'm so sorry! My name is Son Pan.”

“Well nice to meet you Pan.” Lei-fang said bowing at her. “Can I ask you a question Pan?”

“Of Course Miss Lei-fang.”

“Just Lei-fang will do.”

“Oh alright then.”

“Do you know the guy that was sitting in front of me?”

“I don't know what did he look like?”

“Well all I could really see was he had black spiky hair…”

“that answers one question though, yes I know him, it could be my Grandpa, my Dad, my Uncle or Vejita. Or Olly but I doubt that since he was at the very front.”

“Oh it wasn't Vejita.” declared Ayane “I had the pleasure of meeting that sarcastic bastard…”

“ OK, that rules out Vejita… Lei-fang did you see what he was wearing?”

“Yeh, it was white.”

“Well Grandpa was wearing his blue gi and dad was wearing his orange gi, so… that was my Uncle Goten!”

“he doesn't look very old to be an uncle.”

“Well he is near enough 10 years younger than my father.”

“Was Gohan the man sitting next to your uncle Goten?” Helena asked curiously.

“Yes, he was the one wearing orange.” she replied to the tall blonde.

“He doesn't look that old either…” Helena answered.

“And you say that your Grandfather was on the coach too?” Kasumi asked

“yes, his name is Goku. He was wearing a blue gi and was sitting next to Piccolo.”

“Who's Piccolo?” asked Lisa.

“Well he's large, bald and green.” Pan said innocently.

“Green? He was sitting behind me.” Christie said “Why's he green?”

“Well he's from a different planet.”

“Right…” Christie muttered giving Pan a strange look.

“so if he was behind Christie and your Grandfather was next to him, he was behind me!” Kasumi said with a smile, happy about figuring out who Goku was “So he - HE'S YOUR GRANDFATHER!?”

“Yes. Why are you so surprised?” Pan asked

“He looks so young!” Kasumi answered gasping.

“Yeh well I think he looks older since Grandma run off with Bulma but- oh shit I shouldn't of said that!” Pan said scolding herself.

“your Grandma went off with some one else?” Kasumi asked quietly.

“Yes and my dad was so angry at her! He said he couldn't believe she left and we needed her. He's been so upset since… since mother died…” Pan's eyes started to glisten with tears. The doors to the lift opened and Pan ran out into the hallway. She grabbed the shirt of the nearest person and started crying into it.

“What the-!?” Vejita exclaimed looking down. He saw Pan gripping his shirt and sobbing into it. Kindness leapt into his heart; just like it had done when Goku was crying.

The DOA girls exited the lift to see Pan weeping into Vejita's shirt. They watched as the man comforted the young girl as if she were his own daughter.

“What is wrong?” Vejita asked quietly lifting her eyes up to meet his.

“It wasn't their fault…SNIFF… we were talking and the subject went onto Mother, Grandmother and Bulma.” she whispered to the prince. A needle stabbed at his heart as he heard his ex-wife's name. He dismissed the pain, knowing that he should move on. `maybe now is the right opportunity for me to move on…' he thought to himself.

“It's OK Pan, come on let's go see your father.” he hoisted the young girl into his arms and gave her to her father.

“Thank-you Vejita.” Gohan said hugging his daughter.

A hand tapped Vejita on the shoulder. He turned around to face the group of girls

“We didn't mean to upset her…” said Ayane.

“it's alright.” Vejita said smiling “ya just sort it a sensitive spot. She's OK.”

Ayane stared into his eyes and saw something that she hadn't seen earlier. To her it looked like longing. But longing for what she wondered.

Gus came from the top of the stairs and looked at the large group. “I will now show you to your rooms.” Gus took the guests in opposite pairs.

“Pair #1 Olly and Pan.” he showed the 2 teenagers to the very first opposite pair of rooms in the corridor.

“Pair #2 Piccolo and Christie”

“Pair #3 Laine and Hitomi.”

“Pair #4 Ryder and Lisa.”

“Pair #5 Trunks and Tina”

“Pair #6 Goten and Lei-fang.”

“Pair #7 Gohan and Helena.”

“Pair #8 Goku and Kasumi.”

Finally Gus came to the very last rooms of the hallway.

“And these last rooms are pair #9 Vejita and Ayane.”

The way the rooms had been set up meant that all the girls were on one side and all the guys on the other. The girls row of rooms had doors that went through each room consecutively. But on the male side the first 2 rooms didn't have doors on either side these were Olly and Piccolo's rooms. Then Laine and Ryder's rooms were connected. But Ryder's room wasn't connected to Trunks'. But apart from Trunks' room they were all attached.

“Dinner will be served in the main dining hall in 2 hours.” Gus said finally before leaving the hallway.
