Chapter 16: Death is Upon Them
Taylor watched and smiled as the gigantic bubble turned into an explosion. Taylor thought this was the end of Noja. She was happy inside but another part of her told her to keep on fighting its not over. And another part of her was sad, sad that she couldn't wish back her father with the dragon balls since Piccolo was dead.
Taylor's smile disappeared as the dust of the explosion settled to the ground. She watched. There was a gigantic hole that was 50 feet deep and 100 feet wide. She saw no sigh of Noja's body.
'Maybe his body disincarnated in the explosion.' She told herself.
"TAYLOR LOOK OUT!" Gohan's voice yelled. Taylor looked over to her right. BAM! Noja's fist hit her face. Taylor was forced to the left as she hit the goal post of the football field. Taylor bounced off and hit the ground. Taylor landed on her stomach. She got to her hands. She shook her head. She looked up to see Noja launching down toward her. Taylor quickly got to her feet. Noja pulled his fist back. Taylor jumped as Noja's fist hit the ground. Taylor disappeared into the mist. Noja looked around.
"HAAAH!" Taylor came out of nowhere and kicked Noja in his face. Noja stumbled backward. Taylor landed in a fighting position. Noja smiled as he crossed his arms. Taylor took a good look at Noja. The explosion did some damage on him... just a little. His bandanna was missing. His right sleeve of his t-shirt was ripped off. There was a hole in the middle of his shirt. There were also holes on his jeans. There was one hole on his shin and the other on his right knee. Noja smiled.
"You and you're FRIENDS ruined my clothes." Noja stated.
"OH WELL!!! GET OVER IT!!!" Goten yelled. Noja turned around to see Goten launching at him. Noja smiled. "KA! ME! HA! ME! HA!" Goten launched his Kamehameha Wave at Noja. But Noja jumped over it. Taylor dodged it jumping to her right. The ki beam hit the goal post. Taylor looked behind her as it started to come down. Taylor got to her feet and ran as the post came down. Taylor turned toward where she heard a battle going on. But she couldn't see anything do to the mist. Taylor walked forward. She looked to her left and right. Then Goten was slammed into her. They both hit the ground as Goten rolled off of Taylor. Taylor sat up as she rubbed her head. She looked over to see her bloodily brother. She looked forward as she heard someone laughing. Taylor watched as a figure stepped toward her. The figure came clearer. It was Noja laughing. Taylor stood up.
"What are you laughing about?" Taylor asked. Noja smiled.
"About how stupid everyone is." Noja answered. Taylor looked at Noja funny.
"What?"
"That half Saiyan thought he could hurt me. But he was wrong, I took care of that." Noja stated. The word 'I took care of that' danced around inside Taylor's head. In a reaction to that she got to her knees to check Goten. Taylor shook her head. She looked at Noja.
"YOU KILLED MY BROTHER!!!!!" Taylor yelled. Noja nodded his head.
"Just like I did with the Namekian, the Human and you're father. No I killed your brother and it's your turn to die." Noja stated. Noja launched at Taylor giving her everything he's got. He punched her in her face over and over again. He kicked her over and over again. He blasted her with ki beams over and over again.
"Stop!" a voice came from the mist. Noja stopped as Taylor fell to the ground. Noja turned around to see the shadow of a boy. Taylor looked up. She watched as the shadow came into view. It was Max. The kid that helped her. Taylor shook her head.
"Don't... you..." Taylor couldn't finish her sentence. She was too weak. Noja smiled.
"What are you going to do about it kid?" Noja asked. Max swallowed hard in fear. Taylor looked up at him with one eye closed.
"She... she will kill you!" Max yelled. Noja's eyes started to glare at the child. Taylor lifted up her upper body slowly.
"DIE!" Noja yelled.
"NO!" Taylor yelled. Noja launched a small ki beam threw Max's chest. Blood squirted out as he fell to the ground. Taylor shook her head. She watched as his breathing started to fade away. Max's breathing soon stopped. His eyes still open. Water rolled down his cheek like he was crying. Taylor watched as he eyes filled in sadness. "WHAT DID HE EVER DO TO YOU?!" Taylor asked. Noja turned around to look at him. "HE STATED THE TRUTH!!!" Taylor yelled. Noja turned himself fully around.
"That was the wrong truth." Noja stated as he smiled. Noja then kicked Taylor in her face. Taylor's upper body jerked up. Noja grabbed onto her white shirt. He lifted her into the air. Taylor's hands rested at her side as she looked at Noja with her head resting on her right shoulder. Noja pulled back his fist. "Say goodnight Saiyan."
"GOODNIGHT SAIYAN!!!" Gohan yelled. Noja turned around as Gohan kicked Noja in his face. Taylor slipped out of his hold and hit the ground. Noja disappeared into the mist at the force of Gohan's kick. Gohan looked at Taylor as she laid there on her side. Her shirt and pants covered with holes and rips. Strains of her hair stuck out from underneath her red bandanna. Blood poured down her forehead and over her right eye. Blood dripped from her nose and mouth. One bruise on her right cheek. Cuts and bruises all over her arms.
Gohan knelt down. He picked up her upper body. Taylor was crying. Gohan looked at Taylor.
"Tay..."
"He... he killed him..." Taylor interrupted. Gohan looked at Taylor funny. Taylor wiped away a tear that rolled down her cheek. "He killed Max and Goten." Taylor added.
"Who's Max?" Gohan asked. Taylor pointed at Max's body. Gohan looked over to see his body. Gohan's mouth dropped open. He looked over at Taylor. She had passed out. Gohan placed his younger sister on the ground. He stood up. He looked around for Noja.
"Looking for me?" Noja asked. Gohan turned to his right to see Noja walking out of the mist. Gohan glared at him. Noja smiled. "Don't you look surprise to see me?" Noja added.
"What did you do to that child?" Gohan asked.
"I killed him front stating the wrong truth." Noja answered.
"What truth he said was right!" Gohan yelled. Noja glared at him.
"That truth is that I'm going to win and you're going to win!!!!" Noja yelled. Noja launched at Gohan. Gohan dodged his attacks. Gohan threw a punch at Noja. Noja stumbled. Noja launched at Gohan slamming his head into his chest. Gohan fell onto the ground. Noja launched up then launched down punched Gohan in his stomach. Gohan's upper body jerked upward as blood came out of his mouth onto Noja's right cheek. Noja grabbed onto his face. He held him in the air. Noja laughed as he gripped onto Gohan's face. "Are you ready to die saiyan?" Noja asked. Gohan smiled.
"Not yet. HAAAH!" Gohan launched a ki blast at Noja flinging him backward. Gohan fell onto the ground on his knees. 'Dang it! I used too much chi on that attack...' Gohan looked back at his sister. 'I don't have enough energy to protect her... Taylor wake...' Gohan then felt a sharp pain through his stomach. He looked down at see a ki beam go right through. Gohan's mouth dropped open as he fell backward onto the ground. Gohan looked over at Taylor he reached out for her. Taylor started to wake up. She looked at him to see he was dying. Taylor shook her head. She got onto her hands and knees. Gohan pulled out a bean from his pocket. He tossed it over to her. Taylor looked at it. She looked up at Gohan... he was dead. Taylor slammed her fist. She looked at the senzu bean. She picked it up and ate. She stood up. Taylor looked at Noja as he came into view. Taylor stared at Noja giving him a dirty look. Noja smiled as he crossed his arms.
"What's that look for Taylor?" Noja asked. Taylor stared at Noja.
"You killed Piccolo..." Vegeta, Yamcha, and Tien landed on the ground 5 feet behind her to catch the fight. "You killed Krillin, Gohan... Goten..." Taylor started to clinch her fists. "AND YOU KILLED MY FATHER!!!! I WON'T STAND FOR THIS ANYMORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Taylor leveled her fists with her hips. She looked up into the air. "AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Taylor screamed as she powered up. Noja covered his face from the wind as it picked up. Yamcha and Tien stood there ground as they also covered their face. Vegeta watched as Taylor powered up.
'No... she can't be...'
