Chapter 11: Moment of patience

Vegeta had just woken up after having the greatest night of his life together with the person he loved. He had a warm, fuzzy feeling that made him feel wonderful. It was almost like the first time he experienced the level of Super Saiyan. His life was an endless stream of humiliations and disappointments. He was meant to be the first Super Saiyan in three millennia. An alien had killed his best friend and taken control of his home planet. That same alien then destroyed the planet and murdered a very respectful warrior which Vegeta had gotten a close band with. And all of this torture was done while he couldn't do a thing back. He was a Saiyan of royal blood, the prince of all Saiyans and a super elite warrior. The fact that he could only watch and do nothing, tortured his mind, made him ashame of himself and would scar him for good. Now an inferior creature of the female species had seen his soul and made love to him. In Saiyan terms they were mated and he would never let her be hurt. There was nothing he had to do except treating this lady with royal softness. She was lying next to him with her arms folded around his back. He watched her chest go up and down as she slowly breathed. His hands gently curled through her hair, then touched her lips, her cheek to end up at her arms. She felt so soft and lay the silk sheets back on her so she would remain warm. He put on his boxers and got to the kitchen where he made breakfast. When he came back, she was already awake, waiting for his arrival. Vegeta took a red apple and with his ki, he let it float towards the blue eyed woman. And so the happy couple had their first breakfast together. He felt relieved and she felt safe because now they both got a rock to hold on to.

Piccolo was meditating as usual somewhere in a green valley. He was floating in front of a waterfall that dashed apart on the rocks beneath him. It was the perfect location for a fairy tale. It had been a long time since the Namekian villain had tried to conquer planet Earth. A lot had changed since then and he had fused with Kami. He sort of forced Kami into it or he would commit suicide. Since Kami and Piccolo shared a mental and physical band, this meant Kami would pass away too. Then there wouldn't have been someone to guard the Earth and the Dragonballs would have disappeared too. Piccolo wasn't an evil being anymore but a lot of hatred still filled his heart. They fused back together, causing the rebirth of a super warrior. The Dragonballs vanished but another set, the Black Star Dragonballs, were reactivated. Now Piccolo knew of their existence and he was sure to hide them from humans. They could grant any wish but their was a tricky side about them. After a wish would have been done, they would get spread around the universe. If they wouldn't be retrieved within a year, the magical energy released from the wish would cause the Earth to explode. That's why Piccolo decided to lock them behind bars in his Lookout. He didn't spent much time on the Lookout because he preferred natural environments. Besides he could hear everything on the planet with his Namekian ear sensors. That's how he found out some interesting news about the Z-Fighters. There had been some dramatic changes in the force. Vegeta's ki had reached a new peak and he had probably gone through a new transformation. He heard something about the youngest Saiyan being dead. This could have been correct since he didn't feel any energy level from him. The person who brought this news to Vegeta was unknown to Piccolo. He had a pretty high level and he had come out of nowhere almost like he came from the other side of the galaxy in a second. Vegeta had probably gone insane and ascended since Saiyans transform due to emotional triggers. There were two other power levels Piccolo could sense but they were not on the planet itself. They were circling around, almost sneaking, but Piccolo didn't get the point of such a move. It could have been that they weren't able of sensing energy but that was hard to believe since they were so powerful. He could feel their evil intentions and thought about what he would do when they would attack. They were too strong for him so he would have to team up with the Saiyans and their Human friends.

'So Piccolo is planning to join us soon against Koola and Cold. We could use his help since Vegeta is going to be out. We're going to need all the help we can get even if it means Piccolo's. I have to protect my family, my wife Chi Chi and my son Gohan. Everyone is counting me. How strange, every time I think about my son and this upcoming battle, I feel the need to protect him even more than anyone else. Maybe I feel more connected to him because he's part Saiyan too. I feel like he's the target of Koola because he also has Saiyan blood running through his veins. He has those same coal black eyes like I have. He's something different al right but I think he's going to do great things later. My son ... Gohan.'

Trunks was allowed to stay at the Kame House for the days and was thinking about the past days. Finally, he had met his father and he was just like his mother and master Gohan had described him. Very powerful, hard and short with words but honest and fair. His master Gohan was just a baby here and this made things confusing for Trunks. A lot of things were so different than in his world, he got to meet the heroes he had always heard about. He was wondering how strong they were and what they could do in the upcoming battle. Krillin, Yamcha, Tien, Chaozu and Master Roshi were strong guys but they couldn't take on Cold or Koola. His father was strong enough now that he had reached a new level but he was out with injuries. So it was up to Goku and Piccolo if he would join forces. Trunks also knew he was no match for Koola, maybe just a sparring partner for Cold. His mother had always told about Goku's talents. When he was around everyone felt safe because he always knew how to win a fight even when all odds were against him. In his time line Goku was the one who had given his father another chance to change his ways. He was the only other Saiyan his father knew which gave them a special band. It was very different than in his time line. Normally, they should have been rivals, almost enemies but due to the circumstances they always ended up at the same side. In here, their rivalry was sportive and understandable but still very hard. Anyway, he had to find a way to defeat Koola and Cold so he could get back to his world. With the help of the others he could defeat the evil androids. Just like his father, he was determined to win and overcome every obstacle that stood in his way. There were probably few hours that were left before a war would break out. The outcome was simple. Lose and die or win and defeat the Ice-jins. Now he could only wait and see.

AN: Piccolo and the others don't know the existence of the Dragonballs. They also don't know where Namek is located. Mirai no Trunks doesn't know either because he has never used the Dragonballs in his time line. The only thing they know Piccolo is a Namekian.
