Piccolo shot a ki blast that was easily reflected.
Nappa smiled evilly, eyes glowing, and began slowly walking toward the lithe Namek, "Not once I'm through with you."
*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~
"You seem pretty sure of yourself, especially since you're outnumbered" Piccolo countered. He moved toward the mansion with the mutants gathered behind him.
"You think a pathetic Namek, who I have already killed like a bug, and a couple of little kids are going to beat me?!" Nappa scoffed. He put his hands on his hips and looked at the crowd of children lined up in defense. "Now who seems sure of himself?"
Piccolo glared at the giant Saiyajin and began to walk towards him when the teenagers charged forward.
A loud cry echoed from the mutants as they ran toward the unsuspecting Saiyajin. Overpowered, Nappa began to falter in his footing and fell as the teenagers began blasting and punching.
Scott shot a pulse straight into the giant's face causing severe burns and a cry of rage from the overgrown man. Jean lifted him in the air as Rogue casually touched his arm and absorbed his powers.
Unfortunately she was not ready for the intense wave of energy as it hit her and she was thrown back, breaking skin contact. Kurt hurried to catch her and was thrown back as well, hitting the ground hard.
Temporarily distracted by the commotion, Jean turned away from the Saiyajin. Nappa quickly gathered a ki ball and threw it at her. Jean turned to Nappa just in time to see the ball collide with another magenta beam. She smiled at her rescuer, "Scott!"
"Don't try that again!" Scott kept his hand on the trigger at his right temple, ready at a second's notice.
"I'd listen to the kid if I were you Monkey boy." Piccolo walked up to stand next to Scott.
Nappa, still within Jean's grasp, slumped his shoulders. "No way am I going to let a bunch of kids beat me!" He summoned a ki ball and threw it at the closest person he could find, Kitty.
"No!" Kurt yelled.
Kitty froze as the ball kept getting bigger and bigger.
"Move Kitty, move!" Scott screamed.
Her lips started to mouth a scream as the ball was mere inches from her body.
As soon as Nappa gathered the energy, Piccolo was in motion. As Nappa threw the ball at the helpless girl, Piccolo was running. He kept getting closer and closer, but she was too far away - the ball was too fast. That was when he realized,
/~ I'm not going to make it.~/
He ran harder, wishing he had Goku's instant teleportation. Just as he could almost reach her.the ball hit.
.
There was a blinding white light that surrounded the field, with a deafening silence. Then, the explosion. It rocked everyone off of their feet and sent Jean to the ground, knocking Nappa free of her telekinetic powers. Tons of fine dust filled the air, no one could see and those closest to the crater began to choke as it filled their lungs.
/~No.I was too late.~/
As the dust settled, and the air cleared it results were easy to see.
"Is everyone alright?"
Kitty asked, coming out of the crater. She didn't have a scratch on her, and had a wide smile on her face.
"How?" Piccolo finally got out.
Kitty just smiled again, "That is my power, silly!" as she walked through Piccolo to help Jean up.
Piccolo stood there in shock as the small girl passed completely through him. It was an oddly numbing feeling.
"What the HELL!" Nappa flew above the crowd and screamed. "How the hell did she dodge that!"
Wolverine extended his claws, "She didn't moron. It went right through her."
"But this won't go through you!" Piccolo threw a makankosappo beam.
Nappa laughed, "I already know this attack; it won't do anything."
Piccolo smirked, and said, "Oh really? Because it relieved Freiza of one of his arms. I wonder what it will do to you!"
The last thing Nappa saw was a smiling Namek, before he was sent back to Hell.
*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~
Nappa was the talk of the school at the dinner table. Professor X had been briefed on what had occurred out on the school field, and began to wonder which side Piccolo was truly on.
"I still seem to have trouble understanding the reason for such slaughter, Piccolo." Professor X shook his head. He was positioned at the head of the table, with Logan to his right and Piccolo to his left.
A great feast had been prepared to congratulate the teens on their teamwork and victory. Everyone had a seat at the table and were chatting away to their various neighbors creating a pleasant hum of noise while eating.
All manner of fruits, vegetables, and meats had been laid out on the table. Logan had taken a healthy portion of pork roast, leading to similarities between himself and Goku, Piccolo came to believe.
"I am only paying him the same courtesy he showed me." Piccolo replied darkly, taking a sip of his water.
"Please explain how you can kill him and still say he has done the same. You are clearly still sitting here."
By now the table had become quiet and every ear was listening intently for the Namekian's answer.
Piccolo put his glass back on the table very slowly. "Do really want to know? Do you honestly want to know how killing that vile piece of flesh was giving him too easy of a death? Do you really want to know why killing him has given me great satisfaction? Do you really want to know?" Piccolo stared into the Professor's eyes, as the man gave his answer.
"Yes, I do."
Piccolo lowered his head and sighed, "Very well. This is not something I take very lightly, and I will not discuss this over food. Please accompany me to the next room." With that said, he stood up, placed his chair back under the table and walked in the den. Just as Piccolo walked out of the kitchen door, the entire table was scrambling to get into the den. Chairs were knocked over and elbows were being jammed into others sides in order to get a seat.
The den was warm, with a strong fire in the northern wall. Piccolo sat on the sill of a window staring out into the cold November night. By now, the mansion had settled comfortably and quietly awaited their alien guest's speech.
"Nappa is a Saiyaijin.
Saiyaijins were a proud race of mercenary warriors. They lived on the planet Vegeta with another race of smaller, more intelligent creatures. The Saiyaijins live for war and soon killed off the smaller creatures. They were mercenaries, hired out to destroy entire planets of people. Those who paid for this destruction would take the planet for their own. These Saiyaijin's were so heartless they even sent out their babies to destroy inhabitants that they deemed were not good enough for a full grown Saiyaijins. Once, they sent a baby, Kakaroto, to the planet Earth. Not this Earth, but my Earth. Fortunately for the inhabitants, Kakaroto hit his head, forgetting his orders of destruction and turning into a kind little boy. He is also the stupidest, most trusting idiot I know."
Piccolo smiled at this.
"He is now called Goku. Goku grew up. He has a wife, and son, Gohan."
Piccolo stopped here. He breathed deeply, remembering his time with Gohan, and continued.
"One day, Goku's brother came to Earth, surprised that it had not been defeated yet. You have met him. Raditsu."
A collective gasp was heard.
"Raditsu took Gohan hostage in order to make Goku promise to destroy the inhabitants of Earth. Goku refused and fought Raditsu. I just happened to be around the area and joined in. The only way to defeat Raditsu was to destroy them both, so I killed both Goku and Raditsu."
Another gasp was heard and muffled "No"s were picked up by Piccolo's sensitive hearing.
"Don't worry. Raditsu was sent to Hell, but Goku went to King Kai. He was allowed to be trained by the King of the Gods and then returned to save Earth. Kai trained him intensely because Raditsu would not be the only one coming. Two other Saiyaijins were on their way, Nappa, the Captain of the Guard, and Vegeta, the Prince of the Saiyaijins.
I trained Gohan. We were going to need all the help we could get. There were only six of the Earth's Special forces that could combat this kind of an attack, and we had only a year to prepare. When Nappa and Vegeta came they completely demolished one of our towns. Then they came for us. The first to fall was Yamucha, then Chao-tsu, and Tienshinhan. Goku was running late in his return to Earth. Nappa was the one who had killed them, while Vegeta just looked on and laughed. Sometimes I wonder why I don't kill him now."
Piccolo paused, reflecting on the prince. Many faces were confused by these words, but they allowed him his silence.
"Finally, Nappa had set his eyes on Gohan. Somehow that little five year old had started to mean something to me."
Piccolo muttered this and quickly highered his voice saying, "Goku would have killed me if I let anything happen to his kid, so I blocked the blast Nappa meant to Gohan. I knew I couldn't handle it, but I did it anyway. And I died, by Nappa's hand. So when I say that I only paid him the same courtesy he showed me, never again demand an answer, for next time you will not deserve to know."
Piccolo quickly got up from his seat at the window sill and retired to the room he shared with Logan. He never looked at anyone as he passed, save for Logan. Somehow he felt a strange connection to the man - an odd sort of pull to him. He couldn't shake this feeling, and he didn't know if he wanted to.
*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~
Professor X covered his mouth as a silent cry of agony came over his being as he felt Piccolo pass. He could feel the emotion coming off in waves from the man's body, emotion that was meant to stay locked up inside.
"I never should have asked."
"Don't worry about it Charles. He chose to tell us what he did. I think he needed to get it off his chest." Logan put a hand on the Professor's shoulder, a comforting gesture. Professor X looked up at him. "Go to him Logan. He needs someone, whether he realizes it or not. And so do you."
Logan looked at him questioningly, then nodded and walked out of the den to his own room.
The mutant children still sat, letting the information sink into their mind. They had no idea. But with as many questions this answered, it opened still more. How is he not dead now? If Raditsu and Nappa were dead, how did they get here? How did Goku get back to Earth? But they were tired. Piccolo would tell them when he was ready, if ever. They held him in a new respect. Much sobered, the mutants went to their quarters.
*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~
When Logan entered his room it was dark, and much too cold for his liking. His hearing picked up small sounds coming from the bed, and as he walked closer he realized what they were. Small tears escaped the Namek's eyes, but hardly any sound escaped him. Logan smiled, and sat down on the queen- sized bed. He knew Piccolo would never openly cry, from what he knew of the man he was surprised to see he allowed himself tears.
Logan reached over, and pulled the smaller man towards him, so Piccolo's head resting quietly on his chest. He could feel the tears pool on his chest and he lightly stroked Piccolo's arm.
No words were needed. Both knew something had happened that night.
Logan knew he had finally fallen for the lithe Namek in his arms. He didn't want this creature to be hurt any more and knew he would give his life for him.
As Piccolo drifted to sleep he spoke two small words that caused Logan to realize that he may still have a chance.
"Logan.koi."
Well? Whatcha think! I finally got to some shounen ai, and I hope it was worth it. Please review. I live on reviews! You never know what may happen in the next chapter.maybe I will finally get the R part of the story. So stick around and review!
