Chapter 4 - The Hunt for the Dragon Balls!

A/N: I do not own Dragon Ball Z!

I do however own Yami Piccolo, Hikaru Piccolo and Mizuki, plus her origins!

Please ask permission before using them!

I'm sorry if this chapter isn't as good as the others, I've been under the weather lately!

I hope you all like it!

Enjoy!

Mizuki flew at as fast a speed as possible to Bulma's house, she hadn't thought about this before, why had it not crossed her mind?!

She might not be able to bring Piccolo back using the Earth Dragon Balls, but she could use them to teleport her to Namek and request the use of those Dragon Balls! Those were the ones who could bring back anyone as many times as you liked as long as their deaths were not from natural causes.

A hole through the chest is not what Mizuki called natural.

"Hold on, Piccolo-sama..." Mizuki whispered, her Ki enlarging as she picked up the pace. "I'm going to get you your life back!"

Then she rocketed off, seeing the city where Bulma lived rather far in the distance, but knew she would arrive in five minutes.

She was going to use the Dragon Balls to save a man who deserved more than a second chance, he deserved the world itself.

Yami grinned with his large, sharp fangs flashing as he and Cell sparred in the prison they shared. They had been moved into a separate cell when the other one had been overcrowded and now they had space to test one another's powers.

"Hyaaa!" Yami Piccolo roared, swinging his fist and slamming it into Cell's cheek, sending him hurtling back into the wall, digging his shape into the stone.

Both stayed still for a moment, Cell still imprinted into the wall, as they caught their breaths, laughing a little. "You have more power now than you did several days ago..." Cell said, pulling himself out of the dent. "It seems you're serious about this ruling over the Other World business..."

The dark green Namek chuckled and placed his hand on his shoulder, cracking his neck while he massaged the stiff muscles there. "Of course I am, I am the evil side of Piccolo's Daimao's reincarnation, I will not be satisfied with 'living peacefully.'" At that, he spat to his right and grimaced. "I want a world a chaos, not a world of dull and happy lives..."

Cell smirked and walked over to Yami Piccolo holding out his hand for a firm handshake, which was reciprocated. "Let's continue training, we're not yet strong enough to break these bars and escape!"

Yami nodded and their fight began again.

Kaio-sama glanced out of the window of his new house on the Gran Kaio-sama's world and he spotted Hikaru sitting beneath a tree, his arms crossed as he was deep into his meditation.

This half was closer to the Piccolo he had come to know, he knew about their seperation and he had a feeling the other Piccolo was far more dangerous than anyone gives him credit for.

Hikaru's Ki was rising slowly as he meditated, it seemed he was trying to surpass his limits so he could become as strong as he was when he was a full being.

Kaio-sama smiled warmly and left the house, walking up to the tree Hikaru was currently occupying. "Why don't you take a break, Hikaru? It's not healthy to meditate all the time..."

"No thank you..." Hikaru said politely, which unnerved Kaio-sama, polite dismissal was not something the full Piccolo would do and it would take some getting used to, but he had no choice in the matter.

Hikaru opened his honest blood red eyes and looked ahead at nothing. "I have a feeling my darker half is planning something wicked, and I have to train incase that day comes and he surpasses me..."

Kaio-sama sighed and stared at the young Namek as he closed his eyes once more, fading from the world of conscious thought. 'This half is more determined to keep the peace, he is truly Piccolo's good half...'

However was what he said about his dark half true? Was the evil Namek planning something dangerous?

Mizuki landed in a desert, a bag attached to her hip as she searched the surrounding area with the Dragon Radar, it's bleeping informing her of the Dragon Ball's close proximity.

She had almost all the Dragon Balls already and was close to collecting the sixth one. Mizuki dropped to her knees and dug around the sand, grinning when an orange ball shined in the light.

"Yes!" Mizuki hissed, picking up the Four Star Dragon Ball and slipping it into her bag, then she took off into the air and looked at the radar.

It was really close, almost two miles away, a breeze! Mizuki grinned, it had only taken her three days to get this far and it seemed she was about to be finished!

Mizuki rocketed in the direction of the Dragon Ball and spotted it lying on the ground, not hidden like the rest. She knew this was normal, not all the Dragon Balls would be hidden, after all.

The Namek opened her bag and placed all the other Dragon Balls around it, then stepped back as they glowed. "Shen Long! Come out and grant my wish!" She shouted, hoping this worked.

Suddenly a light errupted from the balls and shot into the air, taking shape and transforming into the green dragon she knew.

"State thy wishes, I shall grant thee any two wishes!" The dragon growled and Mizuki smiled.

"I only have one wish Shen Long! Please transport me to Namek!" She shouted and then in a flash of blinding light, she fell towards green waters below.

"Aaaaaagh! I DIDN'T MEAN LIKE THIS!" She cried out, before she hit the surface and the villagers of the small cluster of houses beside the lake hummed and looked up.

Mizuki gasped as she rose above the waters and inhaled lungfuls of air, then she spotted a familiar face and beamed. "Mouri!" She shouted and the Grand Elder waved as she swam over to him and crossed her arms on the grass, so she was floating almost carelessly in the water.

"Mizuki, it's nice to see you once again..." The old Namek told her, as she pushed herself out of the lake and squeezed water from her hair. "I'm assuming one of your friends has died?"

"Yeah, sorry to come all this way just to ask this, but can I use the Dragon Balls? My friend Piccolo died several years back and these are the only ones which can bring back a person who has already died once..."

Mouri hummed and smiled, walking into his house to recieve the Dragon Ball he was guarding. "I know you have honest intentions, so here..." He handed her the giant ball with a hopeful smile. "We owe that Namek our lives for his noble sacrifices, when he is revived, tell him I thank him with the bottom of my heart..."

Mizuki smiled and nodded, before she turned and took off into the air. "I'll be back once I've collected them all!" She shouted down, laughing softly. "I still can't grasp the Namek Language! So I need your help then and all!"

"I look forward to seeing you again!"

Then the Elder watched as she flew away and wished her luck, she was happy right now because she was so close to finally getting the person she cared for back.

Mouri knew what Mizuki felt for the Namek she was currently trying to save, he also knew that even though Namek's were asexual, they could still love and be with someone.

It was very rare, but he had a feeling there was a spark between the two that was so faint that neither of them knew it was there.

~DBZ~

Mizuki walked out of the last hut with a bright and gleeful smile. The last Dragon Ball had been collected, now she can finally wish back the man she cared for.

She took off into the air, oblivious of Piccolo's separation and the fact that she man she loved did no longer exist.
