Ok I know that this is a really short chapter this time, but I have had a bad bad case of writers block, and well I like leaving you guys on a cliff hanger. I have to say a MASSIVE thank you to all of you who have reviewed my story. Thanks a lot to everyone who has read my story even if you haven't reviewed (though reviews are GOOD!) It really means a lot to me that people do read my stories. So here, after a long time is Chapter 9. Chap 10 should be on its way soon.
Chapter 9

Piccolo lay at the bottom of the waterfall, battered and a bruised as the water washed the blood down the river. In the last moments of the blast Piccolo had managed to split himself into two, letting his counterpart take the blast. As his other half perished he fell down to the ground and struggled to get to the waterfall to try and hide himself from Kaos. He was in no position to do anything should the wraith appear. His entire body was covered in cuts running deep along his arm and torso. The stream of purple slowly wound its way out into the river as consciousness began to seep away from Piccolo. Far above him the last remaining thoughts felt the presence of Gohan as he tore through the air. With a final push of will he sent out one last thought to Gohan.
"Waterfall."

Suddenly Gohan felt the thought of Piccolo blast into his mind. Stopping instantly in mid, his aura flowing around him, he looked down at the river following its passage back up to the waterfall.
"Hold on Piccolo, I am coming."
Blasting downwards at super Saiyan speed he blasted up the river, throwing out a wave behind him as he ripped the air ahead of him. Coming up to the waterfall he saw the trail of purple blood in the river and already fearing the worst blasted underneath the water.
Piccolo lay on the floor, looking worse than even when cell had finished with him.
"Piccolo, no. You must be ok."
'I hope you have a sensu bean kid'
Gohan almost cried at hearing Piccolo's thoughts enter his own and rushed forward to give the sensu bean to Piccolo. The sensu's magic worked its way through the battered Namekians body and within moments Piccolo was standing up, his body healed and ready to carry on the battle. Gohan had powered down at last, his anger replaced with sheer joy as Piccolo stood up. Running forward he hugged Piccolo around his waist. Piccolo stood in shock at the show of affection from Gohan, but didn't push the kid away.
"Gohan." Gohan automatically backed off as Piccolo spoke, shocked that he had even let himself be hugged. "Gohan, what about Kaos?"
"I think he is dead Piccolo. I felt his power dropping rapidly against my Masneko and then it suddenly disappeared. I think we won."
"What happened to Vegeta and Trunks?"
"Bulma went to give them the other sensu beans. Unfortunately Kaos managed to blast the ones we had with us. Apart from one, Trunks healed me before he collapsed next to Vegeta."
"We should go and see how they are doing then. I want to know what happened to Kaos."

It wasn't long before Piccolo and Gohan arrived at the crater holding Bulma, Vegeta and Trunks. Landing beside them the Z fighters recounted what had happened in the fight with Kaos.
"How on earth did you survive that last blast from Kaos? I saw you fighting him and then all of a sudden you just collapsed."
"The other nameks broke free inside of me and all of them wanted to do something different. I lost my concentration and Kaos had me."
"So how did you survive Namek?"
"Simple Vegeta, half of me didn't. As my blast collapsed I used the remaining time to multi form. What you felt dying was my other half Gohan."
"So what has happened to Kaos then? Can we go home yet?"
"Quit your wining woman. This Halfling still doesn't know if he is dead or not."
"Surely he couldn't have survived that blast. Even you must have felt its power Vegeta?"
"Ok so the kid got off a good shot. I will not believe that Kaos is dead until I kill him myself or see a body."

"Well I am not sure about the first one Vegeta. Perhaps however I can fulfil the second one?"
The Z fighters spun around in shock as the Goku like form of Kaos stood hovering in the air behind them.
Smiling in a way that only Goku can, Kaos stared down at the shocked faces of his adversaries.
"Are you surprised to see me? Well well, I told you that you can't defeat me. And what is this? A new fighter? Well we shall have to see how she fares."
With that Kaos unleashed a blast towards Bulma, the red beam lancing down towards the Z fighters. Trunks leapt in front of the blast, catching it on his arm and deflecting it skywards. Leaping into the air he lunged once more at Kaos. Kaos stood still as the young Sayian transformed beneath him. His hands gently stroked his hair as Trunks flew up towards him. Just before Trunks arrived he translocated out of his path. Spinning around Trunks and the others desperately searched for Kaos' Ki. He appeared once more, behind the Z fighters, hands already holding a Ki blast as he let it fly towards Bulma before disappearing once more. The blast crossed the distance faster than Vegeta could react, tearing though the air and passing straight through Bulma as she stood in shock.
