I'm going to try my best to keep my word of putting on a new chapter every week! Also I've been thinking about putting an abridged version of Rowol's history and some of his techniques in a sidebar in the next chapter. If you would like to know more about his attacks and stuff just say your for it in your next review. So anyway here we go with chapter 9! -Rowol

Chapter 8: Goku's ki disease

Kubito stared in astonishment at Rowol. What could possibly brought on this kind of transformation? And what on earth was a Ki form?

Rowol seemed to see the confusion on Kubito's face, "Ah I see that you don't have the slightest clue what I have done." He said.

Kubito shook his head and crouched low into his fighting stance.

Rowol however stood still in no immediate rush, "When you battle you use the power deep down inside your body called ki energy. I have taught myself to transform half of my body into pure ki energy. Now I warn you to stop fighting me. This is my last warning."

Kubito brought ki energy around his body in great waves, "Your transformation is nothing! Hah!"

Kubito exploded forward with extraordinary speed hoping to catch Rowol by surprise. Only to find that Rowol was no longer standing in the spot he had been at before.

"Is this your BEST speed? I am disappointed," said a voice above him.

Kubito turned and stared in awe at Rowol, "How on earth can anyone move that fast?"

Rowol smiled, "Hmph. It's not my speed. It's YOUR sluggishness."

Kubito grimaced, "I will not let you harm Goku anymore!"

Kubito hurled himself at Goku and threw several dozen punches and kicks. Rowol however parried the blows and sent one fist right into Kubito's stomach rocketing him toward the ground.

Kubito hit creating a giant crater and stared up at Rowol who descended slowly until his feet hit the ground, "I've already told you that I never touched Goku."

Rolling to his feet the pink skined man look squarely at Rowol, "If that were true then when he awakens he will be sure to tell us that-"

"Kubito!" a voice cut in.

Rowol turned to see the blue skinned man running toward the battlefield.

Kubito turned as well, "Yes master?"

The man stopped and stared in awe at Rowol's new appearance, "Um..I just spoke with Goku and he says that Rowol did not attack him. He in fact saved his life. Do not ask me how I do not know but if you will both follow me I will find out what has happened to Goku."

Kubito nodded and looked suspiciously at Rowol, "Very well master, but are you sure.?"

The man smiled, "Yes I am sure."

Kubito nodded but just before taking off whispered under his breath, "Be that as it may I will still keep a very close eye on you." And he was off.

Rowol stared in disbelief in his direction and released his inner grip on his ki energy reverting back into his normal form.

The man watched this transformation with less incredulity and said, "If you would please follow me, My name is Shin, but you can call me Supreme Kai."

Rowol lifted up and followed Supreme Kai towards the temple in the distance.

Rowol sat back and stared at the ceiling. It had been nearly four hours since the Supreme Kai and Kubito had entered the room where Goku lay and Rowol was getting edgy.

He knew that they had little more then five days left before Glacier reached the earth, and while he knew that this was still some time to train he had no idea when Goku would recover.

The door opened and Supreme Kai stepped out.

Rowol stood and look at the short man expectantly. "Well I have some good news and some bad news," Supreme Kai started.

Rowol stared, "Good news first."

Supreme Kai nodded, "Good idea. Well I have purged Goku of the well. I suppose that there is no other way to explain it. I'm going to call it a ki virus."

Rowol continued to stare, "A ki virus?"

Supreme Kai nodded, "Yes. A virus created and uses to completely destroy any ki using person. It slowly eats away at a persons ki until it is gone."

Rowol blinked, "How do you know this?"

Supreme Kai smiled very slightly, "I caught one when I was just a you Kai. It nearly killed me."

Sitting down Rowol said, "And now Glacier has found a way to project a ki virus to anything or anyONE he chooses."

Supreme Kai nodded too, "But there is still bad news."

Rowol looked up, "What?"

Supreme Kai sighed, "Well, I have cured the virus yes, but Goku will not have completely recovered until his energy returns."

Rowol stood up quickly, "How long will that take?"

Supreme Kai shrugged, "No more then a couple of weeks."

Rowol sat down again, "Oh no."

Supreme Kai stared, "What?"

"Goku won't be able to fight Glacier," Rowol stated putting his face in his hands.

Supreme Kai nodded, "Ah. Yes. That is rather unfortunate, however you were able to rescue Goku were you not?"

Rowol laughed, "Yeah sure. I had the element of surprise so bad I could have stolen his head and he wouldn't have realized it."

Supreme Kai tilted his head to the side, "I see. Well I'm going to have to think more about your dilemma. I'll see you in an hour.

Piccolo sat inside the confining pools of his favorite waterfall, meditating. He relaxed every muscle as he listened to the sound of hundreds of gallons of water crashing on the lake outside.

As he sat he felt something in the far reaches of his brain calling to him, warning him. He opened his eyes and stood up. He pushed ki underneath himself like a large pillow and floated upwards, out of the waterfall and into the sky.

Looking straight up he felt the undeniable evil coming at an incredible pace for the earth. He stared in unbleief at the source. He knew it was still two days away judging by the strength of the call, but it sure wasn't Goku coming back from Namek.

He altered direction for the Kame House and threw energy behind him blasting straight off. He had to warn the others.

I know it took me to long to get this up and I'm sorry! I'm gonna try harder from now on to get these up sooner.
