Dethrone Piccolo
Chi-Chi arrived at Korin's Tower just as Goku was waking up. Krillin was hovering over his best friend. "Take it easy Goku; you were just screaming your lungs out." Krillin said. Spotting her, Bulma leaned over the railing and waved. "Chi-Chi you're back!" Bulma said. Chi-Chi landed on the railing and nodded. "Yes, Kami gave me advice. It seems King Piccolo's regeneration isn't perfect." Chi-Chi said. "That's a relief, so what's the trick?" Yamcha said. Chi-Chi held a hand to her chest. "King Piccolo's regeneration comes from an organ in his head. We destroy that and he'll die." Chi-Chi said. Goku sat up. "So I just have to target his head then? I can do that." Goku said. Chi-Chi narrowed her eyes at Goku. "What do you mean when you say I? We should go together. How are you going to find him without me sensing his energy?" Chi-Chi said. She huffed; having spent so long without contact Goku had missed a few of the discoveries of Ki they'd made for all he was powerful. Flight and Ki sensing were just two examples. Goku turned his head and pointed towards the direction Chi-Chi could feel King Piccolo's Ki. "He's over there." Goku said. Chi-Chi spluttered. "W-well yes but how can you know that?" Chi-Chi said. Goku shrugged. "Drinking that water didn't just increase my power. I can feel his Ki now too." Goku said. Chi-Chi's head spun. Potential unleashing water made no sense! Korin stepped forward and rapped Goku on the head. "You shouldn't refuse help Goku. You've gotten stronger but King Piccolo is still more so. It will take everything you two have to win." Korin said. Goku pouted. "What about taking turns?" Goku said. Everybody face palmed. "Goku how many times do I have to tell you there's no turns in fighting?" Chi-Chi said. Bulma stomped her foot. "Listen here mister; while you've been rolling around on the floor that maniac has taken over the entire world! You're going to suck it up and work with Chi-Chi or I'll rip your tail off and reattach it to your forehead!" Bulma said. Goku and Chi-Chi stood at attention and agreed without thinking. Bulma pointed to the sky. "Now get on your stupid magical clouds and go beat Demon King Piccolo back to hell!" Bulma said. Without any backchat Goku and Chi-Chi summoned their Flying Nimbus and flew off towards King Piccolo. Once they were out of earshot Goku shuddered. "Bulma's way scarier than any Demon King." Goku said. Chi-Chi couldn't meet his eye. "Bulma's not... She's just very straightforward." Chi-Chi said.
As they flew over the partially destroyed capital of Earth, Central City, Chi-Chi bit her lip. "Oh no, he really did take over the Earth. I hope King Furry is still alive." Chi-Chi said. Goku tilted his head. "Who's King Furry?" Goku said. Chi-Chi sighed and shook her head. "Never mind that right now. If King Piccolo has really taken over he might be at the King's Castle." Chi-Chi said. They could address Goku's absolute ignorance in regards to World Politics later. Goku pointed to the most intricate building still intact. "It's that one right?" Goku said. "That's right, get ready Goku." Chi-Chi said. The two leaped from their Flying Nimbus, landing in the Castle Courtyard. Chi-Chi looked around the castle; Earth Soldier's bodies littered the area. Chi-Chi's fists clenched; until the Dragonballs reactivated in a year she could do nothing for these people beyond avenging them. Goku took a deep breath. "Hey Demon King Piccolo, we challenge you!" Goku said. Chi-Chi pitched face forward as Goku's voice reverberated through the area. "Goku, what are you doing? Don't give him time to prepare!" Chi-Chi said. Goku's tail wagged as he ignored Chi-Chi's protests. King Piccolo laughed; his voice echoing from the Castle. "Well I'll be, you managed to survive but you still haven't learned your lesson?" King Piccolo said. He floated down from the top balcony, two demon spawn at his side. One had the face of a pterodactyl with a tiny body, the other resembled an oversized frog. Piccolo and his spawn landed on the ground and smirked at them. "Very well, I accept your challenge. As a special bonus I'll allow you to be part of my next broadcast. The people should have some entertainment before I announce my anniversary celebrations." King Piccolo said. He nodded to the larger demon spawn. "Drum take care of them for me." King Piccolo said. Chi-Chi assumed fighting stance, Goku doing the same beside her. "Goku, we can't trust that he won't try and attack if we start winning. I'll deal with the Drum, you distract King Piccolo." Chi-Chi said. Goku grinned. "Don't blame me if I defeat him all alone Chi-Chi!" Goku said. The two charged in time with each other. Goku slid under Drum's feet while Chi-Chi jumped and kneed the demon spawn in the chin. As Drum stumbled back dazed Chi-Chi dared to check how Goku was doing. King Piccolo was fending off Goku's attacks without much trouble though he wasn't getting any of his own in. She had better hurry up here. Chi-Chi spun in the air and delivered an axe-kick to Drum. "Ox-Kick," Chi-Chi said. Drum's skull collapsed, eyes popping out of their sockets as it fell to the ground dead. King Piccolo stumbled and turned to look at her in shock. "Drum, how did you-?" King Piccolo said. Goku punched King Piccolo in the face, interrupting him and sending him flying into the other demon spawn. Feeling the demon spawn's Ki vanish, Chi-Chi noticed King Piccolo's guard faltering again. "Now's our chance! Kamehameha!" Chi-Chi said. Goku mimicked her, their combined attacks slamming into King Piccolo. Chi-Chi ran over to Goku's side as the dust settled. She could still sense King Piccolo's Ki. King Piccolo emerged from the attack, clothes ripped and bleeding. He flew into the sky, drawing his hands together in front of him. "I've had enough of you martial artists. Die and take the city with you! Explosive Demon Wave!" King Piccolo said. Chi-Chi and Goku shared a look as the blast fell from the sky towards them. The two brought their hands together again. "Ka...Me...Ha...Me...Haaaa!" Goku/Chi-Chi said. Their attacks fused as they rose to meet Demon King Piccolo's attack. The two Ki attacks struggled against each other. Chi-Chi grit her teeth as her feet began sliding back. Next to her, Goku's arms shook as he forced them to stay upright. "No time to hold back, let's give it everything!" Goku said. Chi-Chi took a deep breath and screamed; her Ki peaking as Goku's did the same. Their attack doubled in size, pushing King Piccolo's back at him.
Chi-Chi and Goku fell to their knees, their Ki falling back to a sustainable level. Chi-Chi gasped for air as she looked up. "D-did we do it?" Chi-Chi said. Goku started to reply when they were struck by Ki blasts. Chi-Chi bounced across the ground, her hands wrapping around her torso to protect her now broken ribs. Nearby, Goku let out a low cry. Chi-Chi turned her head to look; Goku's knee was bloodied and burnt to the bone. King Piccolo laughed from his place in the sky, his body torn up but still in one piece. He held out his fingers, each glowing with Ki. "That's it, cry and despair! One more time should do it; Multiple Masenko!" Demon King Piccolo said. As beams shot from his finger's Chi-Chi looked to Goku. He was charging another Kamehameha but it was pointed to the ground? Chi-Chi grinned, all her teeth showing. She'd make sure Goku succeeded! Chi-Chi raised a hand, charging her own Kamehameha and aiming it so it would clear Goku's path. "I've got you Goku! Kamehameha!" Chi-Chi said. Her attack clipped the beams aimed at Goku, they exploded on contact. As King Piccolo exclaimed Goku fired his own attack. Goku was propelled into the sky by his Kamehameha towards King Piccolo. The Demon King didn't see Goku until it was too late thanks to the explosions. Goku punched a hole through King Piccolo's chest and flew through the opening. A laugh escaped Chi-Chi as the two fell to the ground. "You did it? We did it?" Chi-Chi said. She stumbled towards him as Goku's Flying Nimbus caught him mid-air. Chi-Chi couldn't wipe the smile from her face, not caring where King Piccolo fell. She couldn't sense his Ki anymore. Goku looked down at Chi-Chi with a tired grin and gave her a thumbs-up. "It looks like we got him. That wasn't so bad; I could have totally taken him alone." Goku said. Chi-Chi laughed, shaking her head. Goku never changed.
