1 Space Pirates Will be Space Pirates…
Disclaimer: Do I LOOK like I own anything right now?? *is wearing baggy, torn up jeans & a raggedy t-shirt w/ no shoes* My point exactly!
Hey peeps!! I'm soo sorry I haven't been uploading chappies, but our internet access is down and I'm probably only gonna be able to update every other weekend. I know, I know, it sucks, but I promise to have more than one chappie at a time, and if it is one chappie, it'll be long w/ loads of content, I swear! So here it is!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Tifa got into her battle stance, which looked for all the world as though it had more holes in it than Swiss cheese. Piccolo almost stopped to laugh at how utterly ridiculous it looked. Tifa knew how horrible her stance was, but she also knew exactly what she was doing. She'd done it many times before with almost always the same result. She looked like she was a rookie, so her opponent underestimated her. They assumed they shouldn't need their full power or keep their guard up. They never took her seriously. Her small size helped her. They assumed because she was small, she was also weak and helpless. This was not so, and was proven by the outcome of the fight.
Tifa's stance was so poor, Piccolo was having trouble picking out a specific spot to go for. He chose a place on her upper left hand side. It'd be easy to crack her ribs and cripple her. He'd hit her left ribs, then kick her right ones. That'd take out most of her ribs and send her flying.
Piccolo moved in for the first blow and pulled back his fist. Then he felt a sharp pain in his arm as Tifa's foot almost made contact with his ribs. He was suddenly glad he'd already pulled his fist back so that her foot connected with his arm. Nothing was broken, but the blow still knocked him back a couple of yards.
Piccolo growled in frustration. *How could I have been so stupid? Of course her stance was horrible, it was a trick! And like an idiot, I fell for it! It won't happen again, I'll make sure of it!*
*Maybe you shouldn't fight her…* Nail started. *Shut up! There's no way in Hell I'm backing down to her!* Piccolo told him. *I think Nail's right, you should try making friends, not-* Kami lectured before being cut off by Piccolo. *Just stay out of this, both of you!*
Tifa sighed disappointedly to herself. *I thought for sure he'd be a challenge. I thought he was a seasoned warrior who knew better than to let his guard down like that. I could've shattered his friggin' ribcage for that careless mistake! Oh well…* She thought as she decided to step back for a moment.
Piccolo watched as Tifa suddenly turned very serious, and got into a different stance. This time she didn't wait for him to make the first move. She attacked first, and he noticed a slight change in her fighting style. She seemed angry and maybe even a little sloppy with her attacks. Piccolo was able to block most of her flurry of kicks and punches, and got in a hit or two himself before he started feeling rather strange.
Piccolo felt as though he were being pushed aside. As though he were suddenly sitting on his shoulder, spectating, but he wasn't in control of his own body. Without his permission, his hand lifted up and out to Tifa in a handshake. She looked just as surprised as he felt, as she was just starting another attack. Then, his voice spoke to her, but it didn't even sound like him.
"Let's not fight anymore. Truce?" His voice asked.
*That sounds like Nail!* Piccolo realized. *Yes, it is Nail. We felt that this fight was completely unnecessary, and we've never had control of the body before, so we were able to push you aside and put Nail up to bat. This is what it's like on the inside. It's a spectator's sport from in here. This is how we live our "lives".* Kami informed him. *Shut up, I'm trying to see what he thinks he's doing.* Piccolo told him impatiently.
Tifa was no longer angry. She was shocked and confused by Piccolo's sudden change. She didn't know quite what to do, so she stepped forward and shook his hand. "Yeah, truce," she said uncertainly.
"I'm terribly sorry, I didn't introduce myself. My name is Nail," He bowed low as he spoke. Tifa's eyes widened. *He can't be! It's not possible! Well, it is possible, but why…* She pushed those thoughts away as she noticed that "Nail" continued to speak. "I am part of Piccolo. On our home planet, Namek, Piccolo had to fuse with me in order to gain more power to defeat Frieza. After coming back to earth, there was an android threat to the planet and Piccolo fused with Kami, the guardian of earth, to gain even more power, and Kami's wisdom came with it. He's here too."
"Okay, I guess that makes sense," Tifa said, smiling, "Well, I'm pleased to meet you, Nail."

Quick, somebody knock the stupid outta me!! *Piccolo suddenly shows up outta no where with an evil smirk on his face* Heh, this is what I've been waiting for, payback for your lousy fight scene. *Piccolo raises his hand way back above his head to deliver a blow that would really make you go ow* AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!! *I start cowering and running like hell while Piccolo chases right behind, taking close swings that whistle through the air* Sorry folks, but due to circumstances beyond my control, the next chappie may take a while. Your patience is greatly appreciated.
