An Unknown Awakening

Prologue

It's been days since the Z fighters defeated Frieza on Namek and everything seemed quite calm. Goku and Vegeta were training to become more powerful, Gohan went back to school and Bulma and Chichi decided to use their free time to get to know each other better while shopping. Piccolo was somewhere in the woods, waiting for Gohan to come back home so he can continue his training with the little saiyan.

He spend his free time meditating and trying to control his Ki as good as Goku and Vegeta are. He was able to hear and feel his surroundings perfectly, thanks to his sensible ears, and he didn't even have to strain himself doing so. Sometimes he heard the birds fighting in the trees and sometimes he heard Vegeta complaining about how Goku 'accidentally' attacks Vegeta, while studying their new powers. It was nothing new for Piccolo but there are those moments where he was thinking about the time in Namek where he spend a few relaxing days far, far away from those idiots fighting about every damn thing.

Days and nights have passed and Piccolo was already bored of this planet. Since he decided to make Gohan his pupil, he found a reason to stay here but once in a while he wondered if it was worth it. Otherwise he might have ended up somewhere else, fighting others, who might or might not be stronger than him. Piccolos inner fighter wanted to leave and just fight someone but he knew that he had to control those feelings, so he wouldn't let his demon side take control over his body again.

Like - almost - every day, Piccolo spend the time waiting on his favourite spot on earth. He was floating in front of a waterfall, cross-legged, with his arms crossed at his chest. He was enjoying the silence, which sometimes included a few explosions, caused by Vegeta or Goku.

He opened his eyes and looked up to the sky, where he was able to see the stars and the new moon. Piccolo realized that it has been quiet since a few minutes and he started to wonder how this could be possible. He didn't hear Goku nor Vegeta and he also didn't hear the birds or even the waterfall behind him. Piccolo looked over his shoulder just to see that the waterfall was standing still. Slowly he began to worry and he sank back to the ground and started to wander around, waiting to hear a sound. He wasn't nervous at all but curiosity was always one of his weak points. His sensibility of hearing everything perfectly, in more than 100 meters, helped him realize there was no single sound in his area.

A little wind was starting to blow against Piccolos cape and he decided to find out from where this wind came from, since there was no motion happening in his surrounding. He jumped up a cliff and looked around. Exactly what he thought! Nothing was moving any longer! The time stood still. The birds looked like they were standing stiff in the air and even a baby dinosaur was standing mid-air over a little puddle. He started to run back to where Goku and Vegeta had their training and he was in shock. Even they were standing still in their fighting positions without moving or making a sound.

A few seconds later Piccolo sensed a strong Ki appearing. He looked back to where the power came from and looked up into the sky. It appeared to become stronger and stronger, which just meant that something was coming closer.

A moment later, a small jet crashed down into the woods, followed by a huge explosion. Piccolos sensitive ears couldn't take it, so he had to shut his ears and tried not to fall, because of the earthquake, which appeared right after the crash. Silence again. No fire, no sound. Nothing. Piccolo jumped to a cliff closer to the happening and saw someone trying to get out of the seat but couldn't see who or what it was. He just caught a glimpse of an elegant hand figuring out how to loosen the seat belt.
