Chapter 10: She's Next
Taylor gripped onto the back of her mother's shirt. Chichi stared out into the distance as she listened to her daughter cry. Chichi hugged her daughter.
"Daddy's all because of me!" Taylor cried as kept on crying. Chichi looked down at her daughter. Chichi knelt down onto her knees. She came face to face with Taylor. She looked into her daughter's eyes as she watched the tears fall. Chichi placed her hand on her right cheek.
"It's not you're fault that your father died." Chichi stated. Taylor nodded her head.
"Yes it was! Daddy died saving me because I was to stupid to move out of the way!" Taylor threw herself onto Chichi. Chichi nearly fell backward but she placed her left hand on the sand as she caught herself. Taylor cried and cried on her mother's shoulder. Chichi wrapped her arms around her daughter. "Daddy's dead because of me..." She cried. Chichi closed her eyes as she let a tear fall onto the sand. Everyone watched as Taylor cried. Taylor gripped onto the back of Chichi's shirt. "It's my entire fault mom, it's all my fault." Chichi hugged her daughter tighter.
"Now you listen to me. It's your fault that Goku's dead. Goku would've died do anything for you and you know it... it's not your fault. It's not your fault." Chichi told her as she started to cry.
Soon after; Taylor stood at the shore of the small island. She looked down at the sand. She picked up a rock and threw it into the ocean. Pan, Bulla, and Marron stood on to porch as Taylor stared out into the ocean. Pan stepped down off the porch. She walked toward Taylor. She placed her hand on her aunt's shoulder.
"Taylor, Yamcha's awake." Pan told her. Taylor didn't even look at her, she just nodded her head.
"Where is she?" someone asked. Marron and Bulla looked behind her as the weak Yamcha stepped out of Master Roshi's house. Bulla and Marron stepped out of the way as Yamcha stepped off the porch. Pan removed her hand from Taylor's shoulder. Yamcha stood on the right of Taylor. "Taylor." Taylor glanced at Yamcha from the corner of her eye. She looked back out into the ocean. "You know, it's not you're fault that Goku died." Taylor looked at Yamcha. Yamcha smiled. "Goku would've done anything for you." Taylor looked back out into the ocean.
"Yamcha."
"Yeah?"
"Don't try to tell me that it's not my fault that my father died." Taylor stated. Yamcha looked at Taylor funny. "Because it is. My father died by jumping in front of me from Noja's attack." Taylor added. "My father died because of my stupidity." Taylor said as her eyes started to swell with tears.
"Taylor..." Yamcha said softly. He had nothing to say to her. The Master Roshi came out of the house.
"Yamcha!" he yelled. Taylor and Yamcha turned around to look at Master Roshi. "The news it on, their at the battle!" he added. Yamcha ran into the house. Taylor, Bulla, and Marron followed behind them. They stood behind the couch as Bulma, Chichi, Videl, and 18 were sitting on the couch. They watched as there was a man standing by the battle.
"I'm here at down town West City where there is a battle going on. It looks like that we won't make it threw this one. Our warriors seem to be falling one by one." The camera man then got a shot of Vegeta, Trunks, Goten, Tien and Choitusu laid on the rubble lifeless.
"When did Tien and Choitusu get there?" Marron asked.
"These two warriors right here had just got here and they were knocked to the ground without a sweat." The camera man got a close up of Tien and Choitusu. "Another warrior who is still fighting the monster is having a hard time beating." Then Gohan was thrown into the ground. Noja landed on the ground walking toward the reporter and the camera man. They started to run as the reporter kept on talking. "Right now we're being chased by the monster. He seems to be catching up fast just by walking." Then Noja appeared in front of them. Noja picked up the camera.
"Taylor! I know your out there! Come and fight me and I won't kill your brothers. Come and face me." Taylor started to clinch her fists. She walked toward the door as the hair on her tail started to stand on end. Taylor walked out the door as Chichi followed her.
"Taylor!" Chichi called. Taylor turned around to look at her mother. "Where are you going?" Taylor stared at her mother with the same serious face that Goku has when he fights.
"I'm going to go face Noja."
"No I wont let you."
"Mon! I'm the only one who can fight him! Yamcha is to weak, Vegeta, Trunks, Tien, Choitusu, Gohan and Goten are knocked out meaning that I'm the last fighter who can challenge Noja!" Taylor yelled. Chichi didn't say anything else. Taylor turned around. She launched into the air. Chichi looked up and watched her fly away.
"For a minute... she was acting like Goku..." Chichi stated. Taylor disappeared out of her sight.
Taylor came upon the battle field where the lifeless bodies of all her friends laid. Taylor looked down at them. Taylor then quickly turned around. She placed her arms in front of her face as Noja's fist hit. Taylor was pushed back.
"You came. I didn't think you would." Noja stated. Taylor lowered her arms.
"You killed my father and I'm here get to revenge and kill you Noja!" Taylor yelled as she launched at Noja with all her might.
