Piccolo was standing in the center of Kami's lookout. It was the aftermath of the cell games and the rest of the warriors have gone their separate ways after using the dragon balls to revert all the damages done by cell unfortunately, Goku couldn't be revived on his own accord. Piccolo still was dumbfounded with the whole ordeal his oldest rival dies sacrificing himself for the entire planet. There still was a part of piccolo that resented goku for abandoning his family and leaving gohan with a heavy hoped his reasoning for leaving was legit or otherwise there would be a problem. It was hard to believe he was still allied with the same people he tried to kill years ago. Tien is a strong warrior that Piccolo respected he kept to himself and rarely interacted with others much like he did. Yamaha was laughable when it came to be a strong warrior not counting tiens little friend,he was the weakest in the group but he respected the fact that he tried to stand up to cell and put all his effort against him. Krillin was the jokester out of all of them he always found a way to lighten the mood so he was best at building the prideful arrogant prince who surprised everyone when he charged at Cell after he killed Trunks. Trunks was the hero from the future that saved an entire timeline. And last but certainly not least was his protege/student who defeated cell himself and also reached the level of ssj2. Piccolo was proud of what gohan had become but was worried that goku left it all to him. Piccolo knew he wasn't a fighter at heart and would gradually decrease in power over the he decide that he should be the one to defend the Earth as he is the guardian. The only other person that could help defend is Vegeta but who knows when Vegeta could reach gohan's power."We can't solely rely on Gohan and Vegeta to protect the Earth" said Piccolo "I have to somehow get stronger and lend a helping hand". "Did you say something Piccolo?" Said Dende "Yeah I'm going to check up on Gohan to see how he's doing" "Oh okay that makes sense tell him I said hi" Piccolo nodded at Dende before leaping of the lookout heading towards Gohans. "Gohan I hope you're alright you're a valuable asset to this planet kid"
