Chapter 9
"I hate to interrupt in such a pitiful display of affection here people, but we got a more pressing matter than that clown Kakarot's kid and how proud Kakarot would be of him." Vegeta retorted.
"I'm sure your problems are dire there Prince Vegeta, but do remember that it is our Dragonballs that you wish to use. I am only doing this because I feel what has happened on your planet is a great injustice for what you people do to protect it and I feel that you could use all the help you can get. In addition, insulting us isn't going to endear us to help you. Do you understand that Prince Vegeta?" Elder Morey's tone was that of annoyance.
Vegeta looked on shocked that someone finally acknowledged his birthright and then shut up. He knew better than to say something that would take away the Namek's respect toward his stature.
"Ok people, I do believe that Vegeta has a point. We did make the connection so that we could make a wish on the Namek Dragonballs that Elder Morey has taken the time and patience to grant us use of. So let's not spoil this opportunity." Piccolo winked in Vegeta's direction, which got the proud Saiyan to smile.
Piccolo gently rubbed his chin as he thought. Vegeta did the same as he tried to think of a wish that would make a large difference in the situation.
Superman was the one who finally came up with the idea.
"You know we are definitely going to need the extra help, and we probably would have done the same thing after we beat them even if we did wish for something else. Why don't we just wish, for all of those who have been killed by the android, back to life?" Vegeta looked at him with pride and astonishment.
Piccolo's eyes had risen, because he had not thought of that aspect. With all those wished back by Parunga, the dragon would have to bring back Goku, Trunks, Bulma, and everybody else. It would make things a little easier and also making training in the time chamber more effective, but even Parunga gets tired of the same wishes over and over again.
Then all of a sudden, Piccolo sensed a great many lives vanishing from the planet. It was the second most horrifying feeling that he had ever had. The first was feeling every life on Earth, save one, being snuffed out by Majin Buu's attack from the lookout that day. Then even Vegeta, Gohan, Goten and even Massacre felt it as they all disappeared.
"Garr, darn him! He couldn't have waited until we made our wishes? That vile and evil android! I'm going to rip him apart with my own two hands!" Gohan shouted in sheer rage.
The young Saiyan's energy started to take a sharp rise as his anger jumped to higher levels. "They didn't even have a chance!"
Gohan's anger rose to new heights, as so did his energy, Piccolo was startled as his energy grew. Then without warning the energy around him flashed and changed from white to yellow, his hair stood even more on end, and changed color to from black to gold. His muscles grew a few sizes and he started to grunt in frustration. Everyone backed away, everyone except for Vegeta, who also looked as if he was in anger. Vegeta's energy started to show, and he too became a Super Saiyan. They both looked at each other and in a sort of agreeing look took to the sky, flying out the door and to the edge of the lookout.
"Are you thinking what I am Gohan?" Vegeta asked in clenched teeth.
Gohan nodded not even looking at Vegeta.
"Yea, this has to be put to an end, HERE AND NOW!" Gohan yelled and powered up once more with pure anger and hatred.
"Fine, but we have to go now before there are anymore innocent lives taken, we cannot go if we are hesitant. I know how you feel Gohan, and I too am hurting. So do we do this or not?" Vegeta asked in intent on going anyway.
"NO! You can't go you guys! We have no clue as to how powerful he has gotten, and not to mention you're both only going to make it worse if you die." Piccolo screamed as he tried to catch up to them.
"Shut up Namek! You haven't lost your entire family to that freak; you didn't lose your only son to a fake that did it for sheer pleasure. In addition, you didn't lose your only father, of which you looked up to your entire life. If you had lost all of these things, you would have the knowledge and feelings of what we must do. Keep getting ready for the dragon. Make your wish. If Gohan and I don't make it you can always use the earth Dragonballs to wish us back!" Vegeta turned back to the edge of the lookout, with a single tear in his eye.
Gohan looked at Piccolo, "I have to do this Piccolo, I can feel them crying, I can feel them hurting so bad its maddening. If it were my father, you would understand. I deeply appreciate your concern, but with my dad gone, I have to take his place. Vegeta and I are the Earth's only hope. And if we can't do it, then we will just have to find another way. Vegeta's right, we owe them Piccolo. And it will be a cold day in hell if I don't show them what messing with a Saiyan family can do." Gohan had a look of hope in his eye.
"But, I can't lose you two; you guys are my only hope at defeating this thing. If we can just wait till we make the wish, at least then you will have Goku to help you!" Piccolo's voice was one of great worry and concern.
Massacre came running up and looked at them all. Listening to the hurt in Gohan's voice and Vegeta's too was too much. She had a deep feeling that she needed to help. Nevertheless, she knew the lookout needed someone to protect it. Superman couldn't do it alone.
"Piccolo let them go," a voice came from behind Massacre. "They have to do this for their honor. They have to do this for a sense of avengement."
The person behind Massacre wasn't Superman, but Mr. Popo. He had a look of great sorrow in his eyes.
"They have always taken great pride in their families. And now that they have a chance and another to guide and help them, they are going to be unstoppable. Not by you, me, or even Massacre. Not even the Grand Kai and God could stop them. This is their fight, and this is their revenge. This is beyond any of us. It's about family Piccolo, and that is what family does when one of their own is taken down. They avenge them." Mr. Popo looked at them and gave them thumbs up.
"Alright, but you guys better high tail it out of there if it gets too dicey." Piccolo said calm and clear.
Vegeta smiled, "Have you ever known me to back down from a fight Piccolo? You just make sure that wish gets taken care of. We will handle the rest." Vegeta waved at him with a smile.
"Be careful you guys. We need you alive." Massacre said with a wave of her hand.
Somehow, Massacre knew that they would be ok. She somehow knew that they would at least make it out alive. How she knew was beyond her, but she was going to trust it. She just hoped that she wasn't wrong.
Vegeta and Gohan looked for where the lost lives came from and could see smoke in the far distance of the horizon.
"Are you ready Gohan?" Vegeta asked.
