Chapter 5 ~ The Death of a Loved One ~

~ Tayla ~

Tayla's Prince and Princess entered the infirmary to see there very many hurt soldiers.
Pan shuddered. She couldn't help to see these brave men dying anymore, but walked on to give
her words of thanks to each one of them. Goten did the same as his niece because he cared a
lot about his army.

What the princess of Tayla did not expect to see was her ojiisan lying down on a table
bleeding to death, his body almost lifeless. Next to him her obaasan, Chichi sit right by him, her
eyes closed hoping. Everyone stand around grieving the suffering of their formal King. Pan
covered her eyes thinking that this was all just a dream, but when she uncovered them there was
that same image that she did not want to see anymore. Pan ran out of the infirmary and outside
to the garden to cry there.

An hour later, Goku's best friend, Krillin, and his wife, Juuhachigou, appeared outside
where Pan was.

"um... princess", Krillin began," I have some news for you."

"Yes.... but I am afraid that the news that we seek is bad,,," Juuhachigou said.

Pan already knew that the bad new might be about her ojiisan. She wiped the tears away
from her eyes and looked up at the both of them.

"Well.... the formal king of Tayla..." Krillin trailed off.

Pan eyed them still waiting for the news.

"Your grandfather, princess Pan, has left us..."

Pan was holding onto a bar and started to squeeze it. She had lost her own grandfather
in this war to the selfless prince of Enubia. Another thing came across her. How will her father
react to the fact that HIS father had died?

"Yes, thank you Lady Juuhachigou and Duke Krillin. I would like to be alone for the
remainder of the day."

"Of course princess!" Both of them said in unison and then went back into the castle.

Holding her fist up and tightening it, Pan let out her vow," I will carry out my
grandfather's revenge by killing prince Trunks and end this war. I do not want this war to go on
but my grandfather was the most important person in my life. I will not let your death be in vain,
grandpa, I will fight even if it kills me!

~ Enubia ~

The saiya-jin prince, Trunks, just arrived to his new kingdom, Enubia. He looked at it in
awe since he had not seen it before. He trotted his horse to gate dismounted. At the gate wait his
father, Vegeta.

"Boy, where have you been!?," His father asked," It seems you are late in coming back
from battle. A good soldier always comes back when their captain tells them to."

"I-I'm sorry father, but I have got some information that you might want out of a Taylaian
princess."

"Princess? How were you able to get it from the princess if she was in her chambers
awaiting the horrible outcome?"

"She was fighting father."

"What!? Tell me the truth right now, boy!

"No, it's true! She was out there fighting with her own armor and weapon. She's actually
quit good."

"How dare you say that!? A good soldier never says that another person is good
especially when it is the enemy!"

Trunks was speechless. He shouldn't have told his father that. All he wanted to do his
make his father like him a little.

"Well, do you want to hear what information I have got for you?"

Vegeta nodded.

Trunks explained everything thoroughly. Once he was done Vegeta had a smirk on his
face.

"So they got a girl that fights... Did this "girl" tell you anything other than that?"

"No, that's all she told me."

Vegeta sighed and just walked off without even dismissing himself. He was mad and
needed to plot another plan on attacking this kingdom, Tayla.

Trunks just ignored it and walked back up to his chambers. His little sister stopped him
from proceeding to ask him about his encounter.

"Soooo.... what happened?" Bra asked.

"Well, the princess is around your age and well the prince's name is Goten?"

"Did you say prince?"

"Yeah, why?"

"Oh, nothing! Well I guess I will be seeing, Trunks."

Bra walked off with a grin on her face and left Trunks confused.

"What is it with girls and boys." Trunks never had feelings for anybody else. He was just
a lonely boy in a world of confusion.
