Piccolo was immediately shaken from his meditation. Sweat began dripping down the back of his neck. There was an intruder. Piccolo took a second to get an accurate sense of what was going on outside of the Room of Spirit and Time[1]. His eyes opened in shock when he could not sense Dende.
'No...He has to be okay!' thought Piccolo. The Namek lowered his Ki signature and exited the Room of Spirit and Time. Piccolo began to quickly walk through the halls of Sky Palace until the fresh air welcomed him. It was then that he saw the staff...and Dende's murderer.
---
Goku sensed Dende's death. He quickened his pace, and as he neared Sky Palace he sensed Vegeta' Ki. Taking a glance to his left, Goku saw the Saiya-jin prince flying in a path parallel to his own.
"Hey Vegeta!" Goku yelled. Vegeta turned his head to the right and saw his rival.
"Kakarot! I'm sure you sensed that power as well! I can handle it on my own! I have no need for a pathetic excuse of a Saiya-jin like you to restrain me from my fight!" Goku smiled.
"Wow Vegeta...I didn't know you cared so much about the Earth!" Vegeta led out a growl of anger. He gave Goku a death glare for a second, before powering up and flying ahead of him.
"H-hey! Vegeta! Wait up!" Goku screamed as he flew after him.
---
Karin turned to Yajirobe.
"How many Senzu beans do we have?" the Cat asked. Yajirobe disappeared for a moment, before returning with a small, brown bag.
"We have eight Senzu beans left," the fat warrior responded. Karin nodded.
"Take these Senzu beans to Goku! We'll need them." Yajirobe trembled for a second, then realized he had no choice. He uncapsuled his car and flew off to deliver the Senzu beans to Goku.
'This is not good. Without the dragonballs, there will be no way to wish anyone back after this battle...' thought the Cat.
---
Piccolo shook his head and blinked his eyes, making sure that they were not deceiving him.
'It...It's really him! But...his Ki seems...evil...' thought the Namek.
|What's the matter? Don't tell me you are afraid. I expected more of you!| the stranger made eye contact with the Namek.
|So...you can read my thoughts? Just as expected,| Piccolo communicated. The stranger gave a smirk. He closed his eyes for a second.
'Good. Goku is coming...I will have my revenge!' thought the stranger. Piccolo could still not believe what he saw. However, he knew what he must do. As hard as it may be, Piccolo has to stop him...before anyone else is killed.
"Why? Why did you kill Dende!?" Piccolo scremed. A flash of anger appeared in the stranger's black eyes.
"Shut the hell up! He deserved to die, just as you will! Then, after you are sent to the burning hells, I shall fulfill my ultimate objective...I, with these very hands, shall kill Goku and make him pay for what he has done...or shall I say, what he will do!"
Piccolo took a moment to reflect on his words.
'What he will do? Why...' Piccolo finished the rest of this sentence aloud.
"Why do you want to kill Goku!? What has he ever done to you! You should thank him for..."
"For what? Sending me away? For causing the death of those I love? FOR CAUSING THE DESTRUCTION OF THIS HELLHOLE YOU CALL THE EARTH!!" yelled the stranger in a voice void of emotion. The young man's eyes flashed teal for a second. A golden aura began creeping up his body.
"What are you saying! You...you're not Gohan! Gohan would never say that!" Piccolo spat out these words as if they were poisonous. "The Gohan I know...would never try and kill his father."
"I am not the Gohan you knew! He died long ago!" yelled Gohan. It was in this moment that Piccolo noticed Gohan's body features. He seemed to be in his late teens, but that was impossible! He was wearing a torn, navy blue Gi. His body was marked with scars, the most notable of which was located on the boy's right cheek. His black eyes changed to teal, but the fiery passion within them remained.
'I don't know if my new powers can defeat Gohan...especially now that he has transformed into a Super Saiya-jin. Now...it is time to test the limits of my power!' thought Piccolo. He threw his turban and cape off him and took a fighting stance.
"So...you will fight me?" asked Gohan. "Fine...I could use a quick warm up." Piccolo showed no signs of backing down. Gohan smiled, and he blinked. As soon as Gohan's eyes opened again, Piccolo was thrown back.
'What!?' Piccolo thought as he went slamming into the building.
"That's right...my training has given me new powers you cannot even dream of! You stand no chance against the combined might of body, mind, and soul!" said Gohan as he flew after Piccolo, continuing his attack.
'I have to watch out for his mental power,' thought Piccolo. He removed himself from the rubble and flew forward to meet his former student. Piccolo drew his fist back for a punch, but Gohan quickly disappeared. Before Piccolo could react, he felt Gohan's knee dig into his back.
"AHHH!" Piccolo screamed in pain and coughed up blood.
"Don't tell me you're done already," Gohan said, before grabbing Piccolo and throwing him into the air. Gohan then pointed his hand to the sky and fired a blast of pure Ki. Just before it hit Piccolo, he regained control of his body and moved out of the way. The Ki blast glazed Piccolo's left cheek, and a stream of blood flowed downward. Piccolo took two fingers and brought them to his forehead. Gohan smiled, knowing what he was planning. The Saiya-jin brought his hands to the side. Piccolo merely smirked as he gathered his energy in preparation for the Makenkosappo.[2] Then, just as he was about to unleash the blast, he quickly moved behind Gohan and fired. Before he realized it, Piccolo was thrown through the air and crashed into the ground. Gohan opened the palm of his hand. He had caught the Makenkosappo! Gohan smiled, then threw it back at Piccolo. Two beams began their flight towards the grounded Piccolo, one wrapping around the other. Piccolo jumped up as the Makenkosappo made contact with Sky Palace, drilling through it. As Piccolo reappeared in the air above, Gohan delivered a roundhouse kick to his head. As quickly as Piccolo appeared in the air, Piccolo was once again on the ground, a trail of blood behind him. Gohan sighed.
"I expected you to put up a better fight than this. I haven't even had to ascend," Gohan said. Piccolo struggled to get up. Looking up at Gohan, he said,
"You haven't even seen a glimpse of my true power." Gohan's eyes widened in surprise.
"You're bluffing," Gohan accused. "You can't hide your power from me. Besides, your power is barely enough to defeat me in my regular form. Let alone as a Super Saiya-jin."
Piccolo only smiled at this. He put his hands into two fists.
"No, I'm not bluffing," Piccolo said, as an aura of energy began enveloping him. "I have reached a higher state of power and consciousness. You soon shall see my true potential!" Gohan smiled at this.
'I'd like to see this true potential he speaks of...perhaps it will make him put up a fight!'
---
Did Piccolo really reach a higher state of consciousness through his training in the Room of Spirit and Time? Why does Gohan want to kill his own father? Will Goku and Vegeta reach Sky Palace in time to stop Gohan's twisted plans? Well, you'll have to wait till the next chapter to find out!
