Survival of Earth Relays on this Tournament

Chapter 1: Invitation

(Sequel to Taylor, That is the Name of My Third Child)

It has been 3 years since Noja was killed. And everything was peaceful. Ever since Taylor has become the first female saiyan to become super saiyan she was allowed to train. Her mother Chichi didn't approve of it though but she let it happen.

Taylor got out of bed around 11:30 A.M. She has been sleeping in late lately. It was probably from all the training she did with her brother Goten who was now 22 and her father Goku. Her brother Goten didn't live far away. He lived less then down the street.

Taylor walked toward her dresser. She slipped on a soft orange tang-top. She put on black jeans that hugged around her legs perfectly. She no longer had a hole for her tail anymore. Goten had grabbed it during training and pulled pulling off the tail. Her tail bone was sore for awhile.

She picked up a brush from her dresser. She began to brush her hair when there was a knock on the door. She turned to face the door as it opened. Poking their head through the door was her father Goku. He smiled at her.

"Hey Boo." He said. Taylor smiled. Goku didn't really get up out of bed till after 12. But this past week he's been getting up at 7 or 7:30 which was weird and different for him.

"Hey dad." Taylor said in return. If Goku was ever up earlier then Taylor he always checked on her. Taylor placed her brush down on her dresser as she picked up a black hair tie pulling her hair back into a ponytail. "Where's mom?" Taylor asked.

"She went to go see Gohan." Goku answered. Taylor blinked a few times. Her mother never went to West City to go see Gohan unless it was a family matter like setting up someone's birthday or something. Goku held up an envelope, a weird looking one at that. "She went to go see if he got one of these." He said. Taylor walked over toward her father. Goku handed it to Taylor. She could see that it was already opened. She pulled it out and read it out loud.

"Fighters of the Son Family. You have been invited to a Tournament that will decide the destruction of your planet called Earth. We advise you to come if you want your planet to survive. There will be others in this tournament and it is a possibility that you might loose your life. This tournament is being held on the tournament world called Whye. The date of this tournament is June 1st. There will be a space ship at you planet's lookout at 4 A.M. that day. Sincerely Moritor." Taylor looked at that letter funny. She looked up at her father. She knew that this letter troubled him. "Did Goten get one?" Taylor asked. Goku nodded his head.

"Yes. He's here right now at the kitchen table. We thought to come and get you since you are also a fighter." Goku answered. Taylor smiled at her father. This was the first time she was recognized as a fighter and not a little girl. They walked into the kitchen and sat down at the table. Taylor sat on the right side and Goten and Goku sat on either side of the table.

"Hey Sis." Goten said. Taylor looked over at him and smiled.

"Hey bro." Taylor said in return. "You got one of these?" Taylor asked. Goten nodded his head. He reached into his pocket pulled out the same envelope and tossed it onto the table. he leaned back in his chair.

"Yeah. This doesn't make since." Goten stated. Taylor nodded her head in agreement.

"I agree. Why would someone want to throw a tournament that decides the fate of your planet?" Taylor asked. Goku reached for the letter in Taylor's hands. She handed it to him.

"A mad man that's who." Goku answered. Goten nodded his head.

"Then this man must be really mad." Goten stated. Taylor and Goku nodded their heads.

"If this is advised to the fighters of Earth then wouldn't Vegeta, Trunks, Krillin, Yamcha, Tien, Chiaotzu, and Piccolo would have gotten one right?" Taylor asked. Goku and Goten looked at each other then back at Taylor.

"She's right dad." Goten stated. Goku nodded his head.

"I'll go see if Yamcha and them got one." Goku placed his tow fingers on his forehead.

"And I'll call Trunks." Goten stated. Goku disappeared in his chair. Goten stood up and walked to the phone. Taylor picked up Goten letter since Goku took theirs. She pulled the letter out and reread the whole thing. She looked at the calendar underneath the phone. It was May 15th. That gave them 15 days to prepare for this tournament. Taylor looked at her brother who was leaning against the counter waiting for Trunks to pick up the phone at his house.

"Hey Trunks it's me… good. Hey I have a question… did you get a weird looking letter?" Goten waited for a response. Goten looked at Taylor and mouthed the words 'he has to go get his mail.' Soon enough Trunks came back. "You did? Okay I was just wondering… yeah I got one to… talk to you later." Goten hung up the phone.

"He got one too I take it." Taylor said. Goten nodded his head.

"Yup. That means Vegeta must have gotten one to." Goten said. Goku appeared back in his chair. Goten and Taylor looked at him.

"Only Piccolo had gotten one." Goku stated. They thought about it for a minute till Goku broke the silence. "Did Trunks get one?" he asked Goten.

"Yeah, so Vegeta probably got one too." Goten answered.

"This doesn't make since." Taylor stated. Goten and Goku looked at Taylor. "Only Piccolo got one and Yamcha, Krillin, and Tien didn't. I wonder why that is. Dad, you said yourself that Krillin and Yamcha fought along side of you and Tien helped to when he was around." Taylor stated.

"Maybe they only want the best of best." Goten stated. Goku nodded his head agreeing with his son. The phone started to ring. Goku stood up and answered it.

"Hello? Oh Chichi… Gohan and Pan got one… no only Piccolo… okay… see you when you get home love you." Goku hung up the phone. "Gohan and Pan got one. She's heading over to Bulma's to see if Vegeta got one and then she coming home." Goku stated.

Taylor stayed at the kitchen table doing her math work. She wanted to get as much of her school work done as possible before they got ready for this tournament. Goten and Goku sat on the couch watching TV. Taylor looked back at them. She knew that this tournament was bothering them. She thought about going and not going. If she went her father and her two brothers would have to worry about her. And in the mean time she, Goku, Goten, and Gohan would worry about Pan being there because she was the youngest going. She didn't know how many races were going to be there but she really didn't like this tournament. This would her first one ever. She's watched her dad do a tournament and Hercule too. But she really didn't care; he was a wimp from what Taylor thought.

This World Tournament was going to be hard on all of them and everyone who was invited to take part in it. Everyone there would want to win to keep their planet safe. This tournament wasn't going to be as easy as the normal ones that anyone took part in. It was going to be full with races of all kind and there might be ones stronger then all of the Z Fighters put together. There will be determined fighters. Who would be this cruel to set a tournament like this?
