Chapter 4: Close encounters of another kind
Piccolo still in his unconscious state his hearing had began to return straight away he picked up the faint sound o giggles an cooing nearby, he mentally prepared himself.
Slowly his finally returned fully allowing him to take in every faint sound, then he heard it again, giggling only louder but seemed the same distance away.
Piccolo effortlessly opened an eye he saw the plants were still there he was laying on the leaf litter covered ground where he had fallen.
After successfully opening the other eye he then started to feel his blood circulating slowly more readily, swiftly and with all the effort he could muster he moved his arms pushing his chest off the ground.
Dizziness passed over his vision and he fell back to the ground hard.
"Grrr, what was that stuff"? He cursed; the black secretion from the tree trunk had paralyzed almost his entire body except his hearts ability to pump blood or his lungs to breath.
On the ground Piccolos eyes were again closed as he cursed his situation, he realized the giggling from earlier had stopped and been replaced by light footsteps coming closer.
Now he was prepared, he leapt up from the ground his entire body felt that he was carrying a mountain his muscles almost unresponsive but that would not stop him.
He spun around in the air almost invisibly coming down upon the supposed threat knocking them to the ground Piccolos knee was on their stomach.
After landing lightly yet firmly on his target Piccolo snarled his teeth sliding out from behind his lips he looked at his capture.
"What, what is going on here" Piccolo managed to say as his muscles once again gave way and he slumped to the ground, the small threat was compressed under his weight scrambled away as he slumped onto the ground stopping a few feet they looked back.
Piccolo turns his eyes to face the small form staring back at him with its large green gray eyes full of fear and curiosity, its long blond hair falling around its face.
"Who are you.what are you?" He asked still on the ground he turned onto his side he could feel the effects of the secretion wearing off.
The small forms face then softened, without answering she rose up to her feet walking straight toward him like curious and inexperienced fawn.
It reached out about to touch one of the more severe burns on Piccolos pink shoulder muscle patch. Before she even made contact, he slapped the girl's hand away shattering the shell carved bracelet that draped over her wrist he snarled.
She looked at the pieces of the bracelet as they taped to the ground but she was not upset by it, instead she looked behind her discreetly apprehension on her face.
In the distance hidden below and around low shrubbery he could see more of the same creatures all children they looked identical to the one confronting him except younger, smaller and variations in their features much like humans did.
"Get away from me, if you want to live" he said through gritted teeth, but the girl was not fazed again she tried to touch the burn of his shoulder again stepping a couple of feet closer this time.
Piccolo used his arms again to divert her only slashing at her ankles with his wrist sending her into mid air then hitting the ground with a thud flat on her backside.
"Ahh" The girl yelped looking back at Piccolo the fear once again in her eyes.
"I SAID GET AWAY, FOOLISH CREATURE" He growled at her making her twitch at his low firm tone, the girl form was very much human her features all looked fairly normal then he noticed one large difference.
Her eyes, almost identical to a cats translucent green, large & almost the same shape only the vary rare human had such large eyes as this girl.
The girl sat there her hands by her side palms on the moist ground she was no more than 10 perhaps 11 years old in his opinion, she watched him pityingly as he attempted to get to his feet.
"I will kill you if you don't get lost" He again growled again seeing the girl made no attempt to move whilst Piccolo finally found his feet she just watched him straighten out his back and standing tall.
Ignoring the girl he turned away walking groggily through the leaf litter in no particular direction, he needed to find the others.
After walking a dozen feet his muscle fibers still weak and weakening his ears picked up sound of rustling bushes, he stooped and simultaneously the sounds stopped he looks around seeing nothing everything was quite.
* This cannot be good* He took a few more steps again the sound was herd.
Then he felt an enormous thud in his back sending his face first to the ground, Piccolo had regained by now most of the use of his muscles, he turned than realized something else was wrong.
He could not sense anything around him, unless by hearing or seeing them, no ki meaning he had no means of defending himself other than with his physical abilities and strength which he at none of to work with after coming into contact with the discharge from the tree.
He was face to face with a man dresses in animal furs with a long sharp spear in his hand directed right at Piccolos throat.
"What do you want with me?" he said in a low rasping snarl to the man who was pining him to the ground.
The man continues to point the jagged spear over the hollow of his throat, watching Piccolo like a hawk.
The man made a motioning signal to someone behind him, Piccolo saw another man approach his blond hair and blue eyes the same as the first man only this one had a thick blond beard downing his features they were large men he estimated their stats were closest to that of Tiens the similar body structure.
He listened as the two men conversed still watching him as if he was their prey, in a language he did not understand.
Piccolo had more important things to think about he was in no condition to fight, he needed to find out where he was. After this encounter, he knew this could not be earth.
Piccolo tensed then made a split second decision he slipped out from under the spear startling the first man sending him back a few feet.
Piccolo tried to escape running a half a dozen feet but it was no use his muscles would not co-operate again feeling a large thud on his back he plummeted into the ground.
"GET THE HELL OFF ME" He growled into the ground as he was spun over onto his back, the last thing his eyes gazed upon were the grains from an incoming rock the man held in his hand.

Gohan helped his father to walk across the rough ground over rocks and naturally eroded ground he was afraid of Goku and for him relishing they had no use ki they were almost helpless.
"Come on dad you got hold on just a little further we need to cover as much ground as we can" Gohan struggled to walk on With Goku in Tow one arm supporting his father sack and the other anchoring Goku arm around the back of his neck.
"I'm fine Gohan I just wish I could see something, anything so you wouldn't have to waste all your strength on me"Goku said rubbing his eye with his free dangling arm.
Gohan still worried fear logged in his throat are they how did they get here and how ere they going to get back.
Then Gohan stopped his eyebrows coming together he narrowed his eyes.
Goku felt the as Gohan stopped then silence.
"Gohan what wrong?" Goku asked in a whisper but knew without that his son had either spotted or heard something that could spell danger.
They felt as vibration minimal at first began getting louder and stronger.
"DAD We have to get out of here dome on" Gohan dragged his injured father as fast as he could his every already depleted, but he knew what was coming Piccolos leaving his to survive alone in the wilderness had rubbed off some extra survival skills.
Gohan spotted a large tree at the base of its colossal trunk were enormous above ground roots.
He dragged his Goku toward them slapping away the ferns blocking their way.
"Gohan whets going on tell me," Goku shouted in the confusion the sensation of leaved and dirt tattering his skin.
They reached the large tree its exposed roots well over 5 feet in height more than enough to conceal them, they dove in behind it leaning against the tree root they listened and the thudding sound came closer and closer.
It stopped, Gohan waited trying to hear anything any sound.... faint growling and snorting and the throaty sound of breathing caught his attention silently Gohan peeked his head around the side of the tree root his heart in his throat he could almost hear it beating.
His eyes widened and his jaw dropped if he though t he heard his heart before now he was certain it would leap out of his throat from what stood before his eyes.
