Chapter 1

Decision Made

Piccolo hovered under one of the trees in the massive indoor sanctuary that was a part of Brief's home. Indoor sanctuary didn't quite cover it; it was more of a park, a small forest, and an 18 whole golf course in one. The most impressive thing was that they didn't crowd one another. Heck, there were even tame dinosaurs roaming the forested area. But none of those were what Piccolo had on his mind.

At the moment, the Earth born Namekian was trying to mediate, but was having little success. The tall Namekian warrior open one of his eye and looked out at his people. They were staying with Bulma until they could relocate to a new planet. He would normally not be anywhere near the civilization had it not been for his wanting to be near his people. His people, the term was both new and yet at the same time familiar to him. Most likely Nail's influence, he thought silently to himself. He watched as the Namekian children play under the supervision of the adults. The elders were playing golf with Mr. Brief. They had taken quite a liking to the game, soon after Mr. Brief had taught them how to play. But Piccolo was paying them little to know mind. He was watching the younger Nameks play. Some were playing tag while others were playing poker (yet another game they learned on Earth). The way they acted reminded him of Gohan. The boy that had single handedly defeat the son of the Demon King, not with his fists but with his heart. Watching them made Piccolo feel strangely. He tried to blame this too on the fusion with Nail, thinking it was the reason he felt strange. But, deep down, he knew the truth, the feeling that Gohan had awakened, the young Nameks were amplifying. The tall Namekian wanted to have an heir.

He had been rolling the idea in his head ever since returning from Namek. He was looking the plus to the idea and there were several. First it would give Gohan someone around his age, well size who would not only be able to train with Gohan but could also be a friend to his young student. Since Namekians mature at different rate chance are that the kid would catch up to Gohan size and maturity in a within a year of hatching. Another advantage would be that there would be another warrior to protect the Earth. If the kid inherited Piccolo's strength, then the child would be a powerful ally to Earth. These reasons along with several others that were only known to Piccolo made him come to a simple conclusion.

Ending his mediation, Piccolo landed gently on his feet and slowly made his way out of the Capsule Corp compound. As soon as he exited out of the compound, he blasted off into the sky. His destination was the one place he had never wanted to go to. The very place his father was born. The place that housed one of the few people he, whether it was by genetic memory or his own feeling, couldn't stand. He flew off toward Kami's Lookout.

Kami's Lookout

As Kami stood at the edge of the Lookout, he knew something very important was about to take place. The fact that he sensed Piccolo heading in his direction was enough to tell him that. Kami had sensed a growing restlessness in his; well what should he consider Piccolo. He could be considered a son, a brother, a nephew, even his darker side. But, now was not time for contemplating such things Kami realize. Piccolo seemed to have come to some kind of decision and would soon be here.

Kami slowly back away from the edge of his lookout. Give Piccolo the space to land that he knew the Namekian warrior would want when he arrived. He didn't have long to wait. Piccolo flew up slightly above the Lookout before landing gracefully on its white tiled surface. Piccolo was just as Kami remembered him. He wore the same violet/dark blue gi he always had complete with sky blue sash around his waist and the strange brown boots that were only wore by Nameks. Topping off the outfit was his pure white cloak with weighted shoulder pads and turban also weighted. His arms were at his sides slightly hidden by his cloak, as he looked Kami strait in the eye. He looked calm and collected with a bit of annoyance that Kami knew was because he had come here for his advice or assistants. Which it was, Kami didn't know.

Just as Kami study Piccolo, Piccolo was studying him. Kami had also not change much sense Piccolo had last seen him. He wore the white robes that came with his position as God of the Earth with the symbol of the God of the Earth inscribe of the chest of it. The uniform was complete with the blue cloak that hung don't his back and the old wooden cane he held in his left hand. The wooden cane had been pasted down from the very first God of Earth to their successors. Not many knew, but the cane was actually magical, like many things on the lookout. The cane was much stronger than it appeared and also acted as a storage vessel for the ki of the current God. This, effectively, increased the reserves of the person wielding the staff by a large amount. As they stood there staring at one another for a long moment, it was Kami to first break the silence.

"Why Piccolo, to what do I owe the honor of your presence?" Kami asked in his low voice that held just a hint of sarcasm in it.

Piccolo snorted slightly, but didn't respond otherwise to the slight taunt by his guardian counterpart. In stead he got right to the point. "After a few weeks of contemplating, I have made a very important decision." Pausing slightly as if to find the right word for what he was about to say. "I have decided to become a father."

Terminology

Ki: The energy that almost all the fighters of earth use to increase strength and perform most there advanced techniques (energy blasts, flying and such).

Author Note:

Yes, I am back. I am rewriting this story so that I can hopefully make some improvements to it and maybe stay focused on it for a little while. The next chapter if I don't get distracted should be up by next Friday at the latest, sooner if possible. But I make no promises. This story take place roughly a week after the events on Planet Namek for those who didn't read the first one. This is an AU or alternate universe, so expect more changes and some original characters. Also expect some character to be different from the Dragonball Z. For those who didn't read the first I won't spoil any thing yet. This will hopefully be the first of multiple sagas.

Thank you to all the people who originally review this story. Please review this

P.S: Slight change in the text. Replaced guardian with God.
