Chapter One: Nightmare Origin
He looked down. 'What is this light?' he asked himself, even though he had seen it many times before. He could hear all the chanting voices of his summoners. Then, he could feel the force pulling him through the void.
Now he was outside. In the physical realm. He looked around him, and now the once happy and hopeful summoners were angry and disappointed. He flew off quickly and hid behind a rock. He could hear their voices crying out "Hargot will pay for this!" "He has failed!" "Our tribe will fall for sure!"
Then an old man followed him, and reached his hand out. He looked at the old man with fear in his eyes. "Do not worry," the man said, "I am Hargot, the elder of this tribe. I will not let them hurt you. You may not have been what we wanted, but you will still provide us with joy as you were supposed to. Come. Join us." With that, the two walked off together.
Then, in a haze of memories, twenty years flashed by. He looked around him and saw the slaughter he had seen so many times. He is then grabbed and whisked away by that boy. He looked up at him and sees his best friend. "Will we be alright?" he asked. The friend nodded.
Once again, twenty years flashed by and he sees his friend fully grown on the television. A green alien suddenly latched onto the friend and, with a deafening shriek, exploded.
In bed, Puar awakened with a scream. "What is it, Puar?" asked Yamcha, "You have that dream again?" Puar nodded. Yamcha patted his friend.
Meanwhile, in the middle of the desert on the top of a cliff, a figure in tattered tribal clothing held his hands out to the darkened sky. It was a little odd, considering the fact that it was the middle of the day. He began chanting a few words that none but him could now understand.
Lightning began striking the ground around the man. It struck closer and closer to him with each bolt. Then... it hit him. And he laughed. The light came down from the sky and enshrouded the man. When it faded, another figure had appeared beside him. Together they walked off.
The next day, in a vast field, Tien punched at Krillin. "I beat you at the Boudokai," said the three-eyed warrior, "I can do it again!" He kicked at Krillin, who grabbed his leg. "You beat me because I was blinded, Tien!" Krillin replied, "Now I'll show you it was a... FLUKE!" Krillin kicked Tien in the chest and sent him to the ground. A voice administered the ten count. It was Piccolo.
"Don't let that get you down, Tien." said the Namekian, "Neither of you can even hope to defeat me." Tien and Krillin smiled and dashed at Piccolo. He turned and dealt a crushing blow to the two fighters. "So you're good..." moaned Krillin, "Whatever..."
Android 18 laughed at the two fallen fighters. "You three are so pitiful!" she laughed, "Even Chaozu here could fare better against Piccolo!" Chaozu smiled and continued giving 18 a massage. Krillin, Tien, and Piccolo cracked up.
Ever since Piccolo returned from the dead to fight Super Cell, he just hadn't been himself. He was a bit more... sociable. He openly laughed and hung out with the others. He still went off and meditated every now and then, but there was one thing he used to do that he never did anymore. He never visited Gohan.
On this day, Krillin questioned him about this. "So, Piccolo." he said, "Do you wanna go with us over to Chi-Chi's today? We're supposed to meet Gohan for dinner and..." Piccolo turned and looked out the window, oblivious to Krillin's speaking.
"Uh, Piccolo?" asked 18, "Krillin's talking to you!" Piccolo acted surprised and turned towards his tiny friend. "Sorry, Krillin," said Piccolo, "What were you saying?" Krillin scratched the back of his head and repeated what he said.
"Uh, I won't be able to make it." Piccolo replied, "I need to meditate." "But, uh," stuttered Krillin, "I'd think you'd want to see Gohan." "Well... I DON'T!" Piccolo growled and rushed out the door. Tien followed after him.
Piccolo stopped next to a waterfall. Tien landed next to him. "What's up, Piccolo?" asked Tien. Piccolo growled at Tien. "Leave me be..." he whispered. "But Piccolo!" Tien continued, "Gohan..." Piccolo jumped up and grabbed Tien by the throat. "Listen, Tien," he boomed, "What I do is my business." Piccolo threw him to the ground, "Understand?" Piccolo flew off leaving Tien holding his throat.
At Chi-Chi's house, Gohan arrived with Pan, Videl, and Mr. Satan in tow. They knocked on the door, Videl holding a pot of stewed rice. Chi-Chi opened the door and led them into the living room. Goten had already arrived. He was living at a college in the city (In a co-ed dorm with his girlfriend, Paris. Rrrrowwwl!). Paris had already made plans.
There was another knock at the door and Bulma stood there. Behind her was Trunks, Yamcha, Puar, Bra, Master Roshi, Oolong, Turtle, and believe it or not, Vegeta. Vegeta had stains all over his shirt. He had apparently baked the pie they brought himself. Goten laughed at this.
The group settled in and began talking. Krillin, Android 18, Marron, and Chaozu arrived next. They told the others about what Piccolo had said to Tien. They all wondered what was wrong.
Suddenly, a high pitched shriek came from the bathroom. Trunks went to check on it and saw Puar lying on the ground.
"Puar!" cried Yamcha, "What happened?!" Puar said nothing. He was out cold.
Outside, you could hear a faint laughing.
