| THE TIME OF PAN by Jer April 8, 2002 This is a FanFiction of Dragon Ball GT starring Pan. This is the first segment of the story. This story will be like the Dragon Ball Series has been, it will be slow going and will be very long. There is no definite end point to the story, being as how I am making this up as I go =). Ready? Here we go!!! Episode 1 The grass of the field began to rustle and the dust on the ground became disturbed and swept into the breeze. Nearby birds in an old oak tree quickly flew away. The usual sounds of the meadow seemed to fall silent and were replaced with the surging sound of Ki. Gohan watched with intense eyes upon his daughter, who was now surrounded in the fiery glow of her Ki energy. Pan lifted slightly off the ground as the energy swirled with greater intensity. The grass was blown violently and the dirt was blown away with the intensity of a fierce storm wind. Pan lifted her voice to a low scream as if to call for more power. As Pan lifted her voice, the surge of power grew around her. Gohan smiled gently at the sight, unaffected by the violent storm of energy. �That�s it Pan, bring it out,� Gohan said encouragingly. Pan tilted her head back as yet more intensity was added to her power. The waves of energy battered the small baron crater below Pan�s feet, completely void of grass. A small yellow glow was now surrounding Pan�s body. It appeared in short bursts through Pan�s hair, causing her orange bandanna to fly from her head. Pan began to quiver slightly under the intense pressure. Suddenly in an instant, The Ki energy surrounding Pan disappeared. The environment quickly snapped out of the state of a storm. Pan fell from her levitated state, hitting the ground on her back. Pan breathed deeply, gasping for air to regain stability from her ordeal. Pan opened her eyes to see her father staring down at her, smiling as if to say �too bad�. �I nearly had it� Pan managed to say in a weakened voice. �That�s enough for today Pan,� said Gohan, �We�ll try again tomorrow�. Pan, feeling her strength returning, leapt onto her feet. �I�ll bet tomorrow I can do it!� said Pan with great confidence. �I�m sure you will,� said Gohan, �Let�s go back to your Grandma�s house, I�ll bet she has dinner waiting for us.� Gohan jumped into the air and looked over his shoulder back at Pan. �Race ya home!� yelled Gohan. �Hey, wait up!� Pan yelled back. She ran over to where her bandanna fell and quickly picked it up. Pan used some of her energy to blast herself into the air to catch up with her father. Pan tied the bandanna around her head before speeding up to her father. As Gohan raced with Pan through the air, he couldn�t help but think about what Pan was trying to do. �I don�t know if she is capable of achieving the level of Super Saiyan,� Gohan thought to himself. �Not only is she one-fourth Saiyan, but she is also female�. The issue of Saiyan females and their strength never seemed to be a topic of discussion with Vegita, who was the only person who would possibly know. It probably didn�t matter, a Saiyan is Saiyan. �Whether or not she is physically capable is only half of it anyway,� Gohan remembered. �She is still missing the necessary key to become a Super Saiyan, the motivation and the need.� Gohan could remember the scenario of becoming a Super Saiyan for the first time. The rage, the hurting, the need. Gohan quickly snapped out of his thoughts as he plowed face first into a tree. Through Gohan�s thoughts, he hadn�t paid attention to the forest and his altitude. �Ha Ha, I�m going to win!� Pan yelled back as she raced by. �I guess I�d better pay attention next time,� Gohan said, clutching his head. Gohan leapt into the air and quickly flew after his daughter. |
