"Daddy." Ganjo sighed hugging Piccolo around the neck, "Where'd you go?"
"No where." Piccolo said with slight confusion and glanced over his shoulder at Vegeta who looked just as bewildered as him.
"Mommy and me were worried." Ganjo said pulling away from Piccolo but still hung onto his shoulders.
Piccolo raised an eye ridge, "You were worried?"
Ganjo nodded, "Yes, me and mommy."
Piccolo gently put Ganjo down on the floor and ruffled his hair, "Where is 'Mommy'?"
Ganjo pointed to the Palace door, "In there."
Piccolo nodded and looked over his shoulder at Vegeta who was unsuccessfully trying to hide his confusion, "Watch him for me, okay Vegeta?" Piccolo said holding back a laugh.
Vegeta nodded wordlessly and watched Piccolo disappear into the Palace.
~*~"Piccolo…?"
Chairs scraped against the tiled floor.
"What's going on?"
"Just calm down, Piccolo."
A chair tipped over clattering to the ground, the table rocked knocking over a glass spilling its contents as it fell to the ground and shattered. Muffled snarls and shouts echoed throughout the room slowly quieting down until all that could be heard was the shuffling of shoes.

Vegeta folded his arms over his chest and glared down at the demi-saiyan staring up at him.
"What do you want brat?" Vegeta growled.
Ganjo dropped his eyes to the ground, "Something's wrong."
"What do you mean?" Vegeta said raising his eyebrows.
Suddenly Kiseki and Videl came running out of the Palace with Gohan and Dende following behind carrying Piccolo.
Vegeta grabbed onto Ganjo's shoulder as the boy started forward, "What's going on?" Vegeta growled dropping his other arm to his side.
Gohan dropped Piccolo onto the floor and ran a hand across his forehead, "Piccolo has been talking weird lately and then he just tried to attack us."
Vegeta narrowed his eyes, "That's bull Gohan and you know it." He growled.
Gohan's face suddenly grew dark and he took a step towards Vegeta.
Ganjo backed up into Vegeta's leg staring worriedly at Piccolo lying on the floor, "Something's not right." He whispered his eyes brimming with tears.
"Gohan, what's going on?" Kiseki asked worriedly backing up into Videl who held the same look as Gohan had.
Vegeta scowled, "I knew there was something going on here." He growled, "You're not really Gohan."
Gohan chuckled darkly taking another step towards Vegeta, "So you've figured it out." He said coldly.
Vegeta gently pushed Ganjo to the side, "Run Ganjo!" He shouted then lunged at Gohan.
Ganjo took a hesitant step backwards then took off running grabbing a hold of Kiseki's hand as he ran.
"Come on!" He shouted to Kiseki as he pulled her into the Palace.
"Videl!" Gohan shouted dodging one of Vegeta's punches, "Go catch them!"
Videl nodded obediently and took off running into the palace.

Ganjo slid to a stop in front of the many doors in the hallway he and Kiseki had turned into, "In here." He whispered opening the door.
Kiseki followed him inside the large room and looked around in slight awe. Ganjo walked further into the room and looked around then pointed to a door at the back of the room.
"That door goes into another room, if you hear them coming go in there and hide."
Kiseki raised an eyebrow, "How did you know of this?" She questioned.
"I looked around with… Sato! Oh no where's Sato?!" He cried looking around.
A whimper from the other room caught their attention and Ganjo went to open the door. A mass of fur came bounding out and hurled into the boy. Ganjo laughed happily as he tried to push the dog off his small frame.
"I forgot I left you in there!" He laughed as he got up off the floor.
Kiseki walked over to the two and ruffled the dog's hair, "Why don't we go into the other room?" She said softly.
Ganjo shook his head, "I have to go save Daddy." He whispered his face turning serious.
"Oh no you're not." Kiseki said blocking the boy's path, "I'm not letting you risk going out there, I'll go."
Ganjo shook his head again, "You can't go Mom. I'll be back I promise!" And before Kiseki could protest Ganjo bolted from the room and disappeared down the hall.
"Ganjo!" Kiseki shouted then covered her mouth and closed the door, "Darn kid." She muttered under her breath then looked down at the dog standing beside her, "At least you'll listen to me, wont you?"
Sato bowed his head and walked away leaving behind a sweat dropping Kiseki.

The sound of shoes pounding on tile floors echoed throughout the hallways. Ganjo skidded around the corner nearly falling but caught himself just in time and continued to run right into… Videl.
"Come here you little twerp!" Videl shouted grabbing a hold of Ganjo's arm.
Ganjo's eyes went wide briefly as he struggled against Videl's grasp on his arm. Instinctively he punched Videl in the stomach then stumbled backwards as she fell forward onto the floor. Ganjo stared at her for a moment then took off running again this time making it outside the Palace.
The fight between Gohan and Vegeta had moved into the air at a lightening fast pace. Ganjo gaped at the two fighting in the air for a moment before he turned his eyes to the ground where Piccolo still laid unconscious, or so he thought.
As he approached Piccolo, Piccolo began to stir and then slowly sat up rubbing his head. Ganjo smiled happily and quickened his pace toward the Namek.
"Dad!" Ganjo shouted sliding to a stop by Piccolo's side, "You okay?"
Piccolo shook the cobwebs from his head before trying to stand, "Fine." He grunted turning to the demi-Saiya-jin by his side, "Where's Kiseki?"
Ganjo smiled and
grabbed a hold of Piccolo's hand and began to lead him towards the Palace
entrance, "She's in there with Sato."
Piccolo stopped suddenly catching his first site of the fight happening above
them, "What's going on?" He asked then shook his head, "Never mind, I don't
want to know.
~*~
Kiseki sat at the table that sat in the center of the room. Sato lay at her feet fast asleep occasionally twitching his tail as he slept. Suddenly the doorknob leading to the hallway rattled and began to turn. Sato awoke and jumped to his feet in front of Kiseki who stayed seated at the table in worried anticipation. The door slowly swung open revealing both Piccolo and Ganjo.
A smile broke out onto Kiseki's face as she ran over to Piccolo and wrapped her arms around his neck.
"You're okay!" She laughed in relief as she hugged him.
Piccolo hesitantly hugged her back, "Yea, I'm okay." He said softly.
"Told you I'd be back." Ganjo smiled tugging on Kiseki's pant leg.
Kiseki pulled away from Piccolo's embrace and smiled down at Ganjo, "You were right."

Goku was closing in on The Lookout holding Tora when he felt two powers suddenly rise.
"What's wrong?" Tora asked when she noticed Goku's pace quicken and his eyes darken.
"Something's wrong at the lookout. Gohan and Vegeta are fighting."
Tora's eyes widened in disbelief, "But why would they be fighting?"
Goku shook his head, "I'm not sure. A lot of weird things have been happening though. I'm going to drop you off at Korin's just in case things are really bad."
Tora glared at Goku, "You will not!" She snapped, "I refuse to be left alone with that pervert!"
"But you know I don't want anything to happen to you."
"I can look after myself Goku. You know I can."
Goku sighed in defeat, "Alright."
