Piccolo charged directly at Adora, not caring whether or not that shield was there. He only wanted revenge for May's current state. He didn't know whether she would live or die, but he didn't care at the moment. The only thing he knew is that May had been hurt and this woman would pay.
Piccolo focused all of his energy into his outstretched fist, concentrating it all into a fine point that would act like a laser beam and hopefully cut through the shield. As soon as he came into contact with the shield, a searing pain laced its way through his body, but this did not deter him. His fist was making its way slowly through the shield, inch by inch.
Adora could only look on in shock at the Namek as he began to breech her shields. How this was possible, she didn't know, as she had spent years searching for the perfect weapon for her revenge.
Piccolo was in an immense amount of pain, but he couldn't stop now and he focused that pain into power that soon got him through the shield. As he passed through the shield, the pain grew for a moment, and his fist hit the woman in the chest, creating a large hole through the weapon. Adora could only look on in shock and pain as her precious device was disabled.
She wasn't killed, but she fell hard to the ground, creating a small crater around her form. Piccolo dropped as well, not to far away, and collapsed to the ground, the pain still lingering. The fighters just looked on in shock, until they heard Gohan cry out, "Piccolo!" They rushed to his side and Vegeta checked to see if the woman was dead yet.
Bulma, meanwhile, made her way down the cliff and over to May that had yet to awake. She checked her over while the others checked on Piccolo.
Piccolo groaned, but sat up, despite the pain he still felt, and glanced over to where the woman had fallen. He saw Vegeta leaning over her and asked, in a hoarse voice, "She dead?"
Vegeta kicked her, none to gently, and heard a low moan, "Not yet."
Piccolo growled low, but he didn't think he had the energy left to fight. Vegeta, on the other hand, was perfectly willing to end the pitiful woman's existence, and he began charging a blast in the palm of his hand. Just then, Adora woke up and saw Vegeta, not noticing the ball of light forming in his hand, she said, "I will find a way to kill you all."
Vegeta smirked and said, "Not in this lifetime," and with that, he let the ki ball loose and she disintegrated within seconds, a horror filled scream emanating from her mouth.
Piccolo smirked in satisfaction and slumped back to the ground. He then remembered May and suppressed the groan that threatened to escape his mouth as he rose. Not without a little help from Gohan, he got all the way to his feet and looked around. He noticed Bulma leaning over May, and limped over to where they were, using Gohan as a sort of crutch, not that he minded.
"How is she?" he asked the blue-haired woman.
Bulma looked a little saddened and said, "She needs help now. Her pulse is weakening and her breath is ragged."
Piccolo was in no condition to do much, though he wanted so much to fly her straight to Dende. He then noticed Goku and said, "Son! Get over here and take us to the lookout."
"Huh," Goku responded and then he understood, "Oh yeah, everyone hang on," he said, placing a hand on May's shoulder. Piccolo held his shoulder while Gohan was still in contact with him, and Bulma was still touching May. Vegeta, not wanting to be left behind, took Bulma's shoulder, and Goten and Trunks put their hands on Goku's other shoulder.
In a blink, the group was on the lookout, and Piccolo hollered out, "Dende!"
The young guardian hurried to the group, and they parted for him to reveal the woman on the floor. He hurried over and placed his hands above her form. A glow began emitting from them and everyone watched in anticipation.
May felt the pain ebb away and she slowly opened her eyes. It was blurry at first, but as the figures before he became clear, the first thing she saw was Piccolo leaning over her with a worried look on his face. She smiled a little and then noticed the pained expression he wore. She asked, "Are you all right Piccolo?" as she rose and stood before him.
"I'm fine," he said, though he winced in pain and she noticed.
"Dende," she looked at him imploringly and he obliged by healing the stubborn Namek.
Piccolo just humphed and stood up straight, no longer needing to rely on Gohan as a crutch.
"We gotta be heading home," Goku said, motioning for Goten and Gohan. They said their goodbyes and left the lookout soon followed by the Bulma, Vegeta and Trunks.
Piccolo picked May up and headed to her home after she gave her thanks to Dende.
