Chapter 2: Anywhere but abode.
A sent and unfamiliar scent missed along the ground, the ground soft like a bed of feathers warm to the touch, where had he inhaled this fresh soothing scent it emanated in his nostrils filling the most unreachable corner of his lungs.
The air was not cold it felt wet a mist, humidity circled helping to relieve the tightness in his weakened chest cavity, the sensation against his skin was one of soft bristles his but that was not all the sensations felt.
Along his entire length was hot, stinging fire piercing feeling on his flesh.
*Light, those damn light the time machine.Trunks.. Goku.Gohan? *
He remembered the incident trunks had began leaving for his own time.
Piccolo's eyes creped open the faint rays of light peaking through the trees beamed down upon his battered body.
Piccolo surveyed his surroundings the trees above his were tall and proud the seemed to be watching him as he lay, only the sound of whet seemed to be birds let him know he was alive.
*Could have been worse I guess*
The tickling feelings were shrubs that looked profoundly similar to the tree ferns he had seen on earth with their wide yet soft and feathery leaves.
"Tree ferns, it must be earth"
"What just happened, the time machine something went wrong," He said aloud
Piccolo tried to move he bellowed a painful gasp, looking down he found his entire body covered in black crusty burns covering his emerald flesh, ignoring the searing pain he struggled to his feet.
Utilizing the closest tree as support, he stood daringly on his lags with the partly severed flesh seeping purple blood dotting his brown boots and gi bottoms.
He reached down placing firm pressure upon the blistered flesh the blood still seeping only now through the gaps between his fingers, but slowly the flesh began to grow covering banishing the black crusty burns with glowing emerald flesh. He gritted his teeth as the wound finally healed from his remarkable regeneration technique a trait know to his namekians people for eons.
*It will be awhile before I fully heal, Ill needs to speed up the process*
With little effort, Piccolo leaned against the trunk of a peculiar tree he slid down the trunk to the ground taking a final observation of the area before his intended slumber.
The surrounding were most breathtaking rich shades of green graced the tree canopy and along the ground where he lay, sounds were of what seemed frogs and manipulated owl calls.
*This place is unfamiliar where could I be, and where are the others*
The whereabouts of Goku and Gohan were unknown he had not seen a sign of them from the moment the time machine disappeared along with trunks.
Namekian physiology was permitted that nameks did not require sleep regularly, this was no exception in Piccolos case he had no desire for rest.
*I have the feeling if the last place I expect I would be*
As he watched many things began to become clear for instants the bird calls from above were not of birds at all they sounded more like frogs, long light frog bellows yet there was no water around and the sun was high a frog would have no business here.
"I need to find the others, I can't be the only one here"
Piccolo was frustrated from his regenerations taking longer than anticipated but in that time, he observed studies his surroundings.
A shadow leapt through the canopy Piccolo watched it was quick moving yet but his sharp sight spotted its similarity to a cat only much smaller.
*If that's what I think it is, then I must still be on earth*
The cat like creature stopped in mid leap landing on a lower branch looking at the namek on the ground for a moment, it casually proceeded with its business ignoring Piccolo.
Piccolo felt his head begin to spin, he shook his head trying to regain himself, it did nothing from the corner of his eye he saw a purplish green tinting began to form, looking he found his left arm had swollen and developed a violent rash.
"What the hell?"
Piccolo looked around but the only evidence he found to be the cause was the truck of the tree the bark that he leaned against seeped a black sap like secretion absorbing into his skin.
"Just great what else could go wrong?"
That moment Piccolos swollen arm fell limp and numb the black secretion has destroyed the nerves, he could not move it.
Piccolo dragged himself away from the trunk of the bizarre tree; looking back, he saw the entire trunk engulfed in the black secretion. It slithered down to the ground like a snake hot on his trail.
*I don't know how to treat this, this can't be earth I have never seen anything like this*
Piccolo dragged himself along the soft leaf litter covered ground, his numb left now luged behind he now felt the same sensation begin to take over his shins, calves and hamstring.
"Goku.Gohan?"
Piccolo shouted hoping his comrades were not to far away, there was no response.
"GOKUUU.GOHAAANN"
Piccolo could not sense anything.
His energy fading rapidly Piccolo could not go on, he his the ground hard barely able to keep his eyes open then a sound sprung his defences from his position on the ground.
"Show. Your..self"
Piccolo tried, but he did not have the strength to lift his head from the ground he could hear faint cautious footsteps making their way toward him.
Before fading into let another unknown Piccolo saw only a form standing a few feet, away it stared back at him but the blurry vision was getting thicker, he fell into unconsciousness.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----------------------
Gohan lifted his head from the leaf litter running his fingers through his hair to sooth the aching throbbing from side to side.
"Aggghh, what.. happened.. Dad.. Mr.Piccolo?"
Gohan whispered sitting on his knees seeing no evidence of his father or sensei through the mass of ferns and bracken there was none but he left.
Gohan slowly got to his feet brushing the leaves and dust from his clothing and ruffling the leaves out of his long black hair watching them fall to join the sea of strangely shaped leaf litter.
"Where is everyone, and how did I get here"
Gohan started walking around he marvelled at the high canopy above him, the sounds of frogs and owls echoed through the air.
"We must have be pretty far from home I have never heard a frog that lived in trees"
Gohan herd a rattling sound some from beyond a thicker batch of shrubs he froze taking on a fighting stants eyeing the lightly thrashing bush.
"Some out whoever you are"
A dull moan came from the thrashing thick shrubs a shaky hand pried out from the roots the fingers grasping the soft ground for leverage.
Gohan waited ready to attack this unknown and possible assailer on sight.
"G...oh.an"
The hand stopped falling limp to the ground and not moving again.
Gohan released his stance rushing to the bushes all hopes on them still being alive as he grasped the hand pulling the battered body clear of the shrubs kneeling down by their side..
