Dance Of A Little White Feather
Chapter 5-All In A Dream
A month had passed since Goku's encounter with Rogue and it had been a tense one, but he knew the next month would be even more intense. Halo had noticed this early on and often asked if anything was wrong and the answer she got was always the same.
"Are you sure your okay dad?"
"Yeah, I'm fine."
Halo had to accept his answer, but she was very suspicious.
"Halo are you okay? Your not getting ill again are you?" Colleen asked as Tyler waved a hand in front of the girl's face.
"Oh huh, what?" Halo asked.
"You've been spaced out for ages now." Tyler said. "What's up?"
"Oh, I'm just…kinda worried about dad." Halo replied. "But it just might be me."
"Hmm, it could just be you, but I've noticed something strange." Taran said. "He always goes to the Capsule Corps to use the Gravity Chamber and he's been a little distant than he usually is."
"I got it!" Colleen yelled. "Rogue! He's gonna fight Rogue!"
"Oh of course! Why didn't I think of that? It's so obvious! Kurso!" Halo growled.
"You think Rogue has challenged him to an all out fight, winner takes all?" Taran asked in alarm.
"You can bet he did!" Tyler growled, clenching his fists so hard that his knuckles turned white. "To settle the old score once and for all. Just imagine what will happen! Neither of them would dare give up, they'll destroy each other and most likely the Earth with them, that is unless Goku makes Rogue take them to an inhabited planet which I highly doubt."
"I…I can't let that happened!" Halo cried, leaping to her feet.
"What do you mean you? It's WE won't let it happen!" Tyler said, jumping up also.
"I'm in too!" Colleen agreed.
"And me!" Taran added. "We may be humans, but we still pack quite a punch!"
"This is crazy!" Tyler muttered. "What can we do? Some of the most powerful fighters in the whole universe were killed with a simple flick of a finger by this guy, like my father was. Goku is the strongest and we are way below his power so what can we do against this guy?"
All four looked down grimly at the ground, confused and seemingly defeated.
Her eyes opened to a scorched landscape, smoke and flames coming from all directions. It was a scene from pure hell.
"Daddy? Tyler? Where are you?" Halo called.
Halo looked all around and began walking through the charred ruins. Her mind couldn't take in or believe what her eyes were showing her. There was no way she could describe the carnage. Not even her worst nightmares were as terrifying as this.
Just then, an evil laugh erupted all around Halo and she spun around to see who it was, but there was no one there.
"Daddy? Tyler? Come on Taran stop messing around! Colleen this seriously isn't funny! Please come out." Halo called weakly, tears building in her eyes.
Just as Halo climbed up a large chunk of upturned concrete, Halo gasped.
"COLLEEN! TARAN!"
Halo jumped down and ran to the bodies of her two friends which were laying face down in the wet, dirty ground. They were covered in blood and their clothes were torn and tattered. Halo knelt beside them and began shaking them.
"COLLEEN! TARAN! WAKE UP PLEASE! YOU GOTTA WAKE UP!"
Halo's cries were in vain and she knew it. Then the laugh echoed all around again.
Halo turned around and stood up, growling fiercely.
"YOU!"
"So, you found the little presents I left you." Rogue sneered.
"WHAT DID YOU DO TO THEM?!" Halo demanded.
"Really, I don't think I need to tell you that I killed them." Rogue said.
"WHERE'S TYLER AND MY FATHER?!" Halo screamed.
"You want your best friend huh? Just see for yourself." Rogue said, pointing to the side of him.
Halo forced herself to look and she regretted it. Tyler lay lifeless in a pool of his own blood, large wounds covered his body and most of his Gi was gone. Halo cried and ran beside him, hugging him tightly.
"Tyler! Oh Tyler no!" Halo muttered softly.
"And of course, I've saved the best for last."
Rogue turned and looked behind him and so did Halo. Her eyes opened wide and so did her mouth. She began shaking and she leaped to her feet and sprinted to another body.
"FATHER!" Halo screamed, falling down next to Goku's body.
He was lying on his back, his eyes stared up at the sky, unfixed and glazed over. His body was twisted and contorted and it made Halo sick. There was thick blood all over him and most of his faded orange Gi was gone. Halo buried her head in his chest and cried, as Rogue's laughing increased. Halo threw her head upward and screamed into the sky for all it was worth.
"DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAADDY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Halo fell down upon him again and cried harshly, barely pausing for breath.
As her tears fell upon the ground, a soft white glow started shining directly in front of Halo. She looked up in wonder as the light increased and got brighter until it blinded her and she had to close her eyes. When Halo eventually opened her eyes again, she was floating in a vast void of pure white light. Halo looked around in confusion; she had no idea where she was, how she had got there or what was going on.
Suddenly, Halo heard the beating of wings. Halo turned to where she the sound and saw a black object coming towards her. Halo was a little tense and scared, but from somewhere deep inside her, she got the feeling that whoever and whatever this was had no intention to hurt her. As the object drew closer, Halo made out that it was a person flying towards her. As the person became clearer to Halo, he landed on an invisible ground and walked up to Halo.
"It's you, the Angel who saved me before." Halo muttered.
"Yes, I am that person. You should know me by now Halo Son, at least know who I am."
Halo's eyes narrowed as she tried to remember and a suddenly flash of memory shocked her back into realisation.
"Yes…yes I do…but how can it be…" Halo muttered, tiny silver drops forming in her eyes. "Gohan?"
The Angel smiled and took a step closer to Halo.
"Yes Halo, it's me."
Halo stood frozen in shock for a few seconds, before breaking into a joyous cry and running into the open arms of her eldest brother.
"GOHAN!"
Gohan caught Halo and whisked her up in his arms. Halo wrapped her arms tightly around Gohan's neck and cuddled him, sobbing as Gohan too held her close.
"Gohan I never thought I would ever meet you." Halo whispered. "I've heard some much about you and Goten and Mom and the others, but I've always wanted to meet you and I never thought that I would."
"Oh Halo, I've always wanted to meet my little sister too." Gohan said, fighting back tears of his own. "And you should know that by now, love and life somehow finds a way to make things happen."
"But, is this real?" Halo asked.
"It's as real as you want it to be Halo." Gohan replied. "But, there is a reason why I'm here. There is something that needs to be said."
"What…what is it Gohan?" Halo asked as Gohan put her down on the ground.
"I think you already know." Gohan said. "What you saw before, that is all real. It will happened, if you, Tyler and the others don't help Otousan fight Rogue."
"It…it will happened?" Halo murmured, her bottom lip started to quiver.
"Only if you choose not to fight Rogue." Gohan replied.
"But…but what can we do?" Halo asked. "We're kids and we're no where near as strong as Otousan. What can we hope to do?"
"Halo, the strongest are not always the ones who win battles, believe me I know all too well." Gohan said. "You, Tyler and everyone else are much, much more powerful than you think. The power is hidden away deep inside each of you. You must learn to focus and harness that power."
"But how?" Halo asked.
"Just believe in yourself and your abilities and you can do anything you want Halo. If you believe in me, believe in your family and friends, then you must believe in yourself." Gohan replied. "I know it seems impossible, but anything is possible if you try."
"Okay Gohan, I understand." Halo said.
Gohan smiled, then turned around and started walking away.
"Huh? WAIT! GOHAN WHERE ARE YOU GOING?!" Halo cried, running up to Gohan and grabbing his hand.
"I have to go now Halo." Gohan replied.
"But I don't want you to go! I want to stay with me! Please don't leave me." Halo sobbed.
Gohan bent down to his little sister and held her hands.
"Listen to me Halo." Gohan spoke softly. "You know that I'll never leave you, like everyone else. I love you Halo."
"I love you too Gohan." Halo whispered.
As Gohan started walking away, Halo cried after him.
"GOHAN! TELL GOTEN AND MOM THAT I LOVE THEM AND I REALLY WANNA SEE YOU ALL SOME DAY!"
Halo watched as Gohan slowly disappeared from her sight.
Tyler moaned and turned over as a noise disturbed his sleep.
"Go away." Tyler groaned sleepily.
However, the tapping noise continued, making Tyler get rather angry.
"I said go away!" Tyler yelled, sitting upright.
"Tyler! It's me!"
"Halo?" Tyler asked. "Where?"
"At your bedroom window baka! Get up and open it!" Halo shouted.
Tyler mumbled and muttered curses under his breath and walked to the window, pulled the curtains back and opened the window.
"What do you want Halo? It's 6:00 am, way too early to be awake!" Tyler growled. "And what are Colleen and Taran doing with you?"
"We're gonna help dad fight!" Halo replied.
"WHAT?" Tyler yelled. "DIDN'T YOU HEAR WHAT I SAID YESTERDAY?"
"Sure I did, but if we don't help fight then the Earth and Universe will be destroyed!" Halo replied.
"How do you know?" Tyler asked.
"Because Gohan came to me in a dream." Halo replied.
"He…he did?"
"Yes Tyler. He showed me what would happen if we didn't fight. He said that it's not the strongest who always win and we have great power locked away deep inside us that we need to harness and use. Colleen and Taran are with me, so are you?"
Tyler stood a little shocked at first, then sighed and shook Halo's hand.
"If you guys are so determined to kill yourselves trying to save the Earth, then I might as well join you." Tyler said.
Suddenly, a massive explosion erupted far away in the distance to the North.
"What was that?" Halo asked.
"That explosion came from the Red Sand Plateau." Taran said.
"Oh my god, I can sense Goku over there!" Tyler yelled.
"That must be where Goku and Rogue are fighting!" Colleen cried.
"Damnit! They've started without us and I bet Goku planned it like that too!" Tyler growled, clenching his fists.
Halo was shaking in fear, but not in fear of herself, in fear for her father. A bright golden aurora erupted all around Halo and she blasted off towards the raging battle.
"DADDY!!!!!!!!!!"
"Halo wait for us!" Colleen yelled, following Halo.
Tyler followed after Colleen just as he transformed into a Super Saiyan and Taran followed behind.
One thing they all knew for certain was that they're weren't going to turn away from the fight. They would all fight to the very end in this ultimate, last time showdown.
So how was that chapter? The next one will be the great battle! Oh and it won't be the final chapter. This whole fic will go through Halo's entire life so don't worry, there's plenty more to come! ^_^
