Shock.

That was all that the Namekian Warrior felt at that moment... It was a ridiculous sight really. Here was a Z Fighter who had been in every single situation that would usually kill a man-or Namekian (and once or twice did) was sitting in front of Dende, the 'Guardian' of earth, his jaw slack, eyes wide and thoughts racing at a million miles per second

"Piccolo? Are you alright?" Chirped Dende, who despite all he's been through, stayed innocent as Goku, which snapped Piccolo out of his stupor. "... That, Dende, IS THE MOST RIDICULOUS QUESTION YOU COULD ASK RIGHT NOW! NO, I AM NOT FINE!" Yelled Piccolo at about 200 decibels as Dende cowered in fear of the whilst angry, secretly terrified Warrior who was close to hyperventilating at this point. Now I hear you asking yourself... Why is Piccolo, of all people, at The Lookout, and why is he so freaked?

It began a month ago at Gohan's, as Piccolo had been staying there for the winter, as the cave had been blocked with snow and Piccolo only went to the Lookout on important occasions. He had been training with Goten (as the brat had requested it along with Gohan) and it had been going pretty well until he got lightly kicked in the abdominals near the sternum and piccolo collapsed and proceeded to lose power. When he got up courtesy of Gohan and Goten, he vomited all over the floor. Gohan insisted that he go to Dendes right that second to be checked, and of course Piccolo refused. Then Goten said the words that made Piccolo fear the very thing being diagnosed by Dende a month in the future, but pushed it to the back of his mind:

" I think I can sense another KI with Mr Piccolo!"

A/N: can you guess what is wrong with 'mister' Piccolo? If you think you have figured it out, leave your guess by Reviewing... But you don't have to! This is my first fanfic, so no flames... I don't want to be the literal Girl on Fire, thank you!
