Innocence Gone
Piccolo crouched down over Gohan's still body. "Go..Gohan?" Piccolo asked as he touched Gohan's shoulder, shaking it gently. "Gohan?" Piccolo's voice seemed to almost be breaking. Piccolo let out a shaky breath as he placed to fingers on Gohan's pulse point: Nothing. There was no pulse. "Gohan!" Piccolo shouted.
"Poor little runt never had a chance." The voice began to snicker. Piccolo's burning eyes turned upward to see Android 17 smiling.
Piccolo never felt this feeling before, pure, blinding, rage. Everything he saw took on a bloody-red haze. He looked back down at Gohan and Piccolo's body began to shake, his fist clenched at his sides. His fists clenched so hard that purplish blood dripped from his fingertips. Finally Piccolo threw his head back, screaming. "BASTARD!" Android 17's smile grew wider. "oooh, somebody's pissed off."
Tears of rage leaked down Piccolo's face, dripping down his pointed chin. "I"LL KILL YOU!" Piccolo flew at the android, full throttle, head on. Piccolo swung, but the punch never connected. 17 laughed as Piccolo threw punches, left and right, at 17. But 17 easily avoided them.
"This is getting boring." 17 yawned. 17 swiftly punched Piccolo in the stomach. Piccolo hunched over from the pain, throwing up every drop of water he drank that morning. "You can't win." He heard Android 17's voice. Piccolo fell to the ground, landing on his knees, holding his stomach. 17 floated down in front of Piccolo.
"That's right, Nemeck…Bow before me!" Suddenly Piccolo flew up, catching 17 in the most Painful spot, for Humans or androids. 17 howled in pain, clutching the injured area. "You'll pay for that!"
This gave Piccolo the time he needed to escape, Piccolo ran to Gohan swiftly scooping the child's body up. Piccolo cradled the child's head to his chest. Piccolo flew away as fast as he could.
But piccolo couldn't bear to look down at Gohan's battered face. More tears resurfaced and began trailing down Piccolo's cheeks, but unlike the earlier tears, these were tears of complete sorrow.
