Chapter 15
"Now Dende, we need you to relieve us of this damned 2 days we used up so that we can get back into the Hyperbolic Time Chamber." Vegeta demanded.
Dende, glad to see everyone, was even glad to see Vegeta and hear his demanding ways. Being dead was a big thing for him. And also a big hitch in plans.
"I would love to Vegeta, but me being dead as long as I was made me no longer the Guardian." Dende stated.
"What?" Vegeta exclaimed, "Explain, right now!"
Piccolo, almost as surprised, knew what Dende was talking about. The only reason why it never happened when Piccolo died was because he wasn't technically part of Kami anymore. But now that him and Kami were one that would definitely happen. But what Piccolo failed to realize, Dende was about to explain.
"You see since I died and didn't return to the lookout, whoever was the last Guardian, took on my role. But since Kami and Piccolo are one again, that made Piccolo the new Guardian." Dende explained.
Piccolo, grimacing, turned to them all.
"Dende's right, I just found out from Kami. I am the new Guardian, but I don't know how the procedure works. I haven't been Guardian in over a century, and what I do know comes from Kami, but he hasn't done a lot of it in centuries." Piccolo said
Dende looked over to Piccolo with a look of confusion.
"You mean Kami has never had to perform it?" Dende asked.
Piccolo's face turned a little red.
"No," Piccolo said embarrassingly, "the situation just hasn't come up, not everyone that has trained in it has managed to last more than a day."
Dende then looked a little more happy.
"Of course, I could teach it to you. It wouldn't take that long to do, and besides since you have used it before, you would need to be granted the extra time too." Dende realized.
Piccolo looked at him in astonishment, almost jealous that he didn't think of it first.
Goku looked on in confusion, while Vegeta just got more impatient.
"Well come on!" Shouted Vegeta, "Couldn't you just give Dende his Guardianship back? I mean it isn't that long of a ceremony, and we should have enough time if we keep our energy signals hidden."
Dende looked at Vegeta in awe, and then turned to Piccolo who was smiling.
"That will work," Piccolo said, "I wouldn't be to comfortable being Guardian anyways, I quit that life a century ago."
Vegeta turned and then pulled Goku to the side.
"Look Kakarot, I'm not sure how this is going to go, but we better keep ourselves ready to fuse. It's not looking good for us anyways and I honestly think it may be our only solution." Vegeta said in a serious tone.
Goku looked at him with awe and confusion.
"You know very well Kakarot that I wouldn't suggest Fusion unless the situation was dire. Not to mention if we both go Super Saiyan 4 we should be double our strengths." Vegeta said calmly.
Goku smiled and just winked at Vegeta. Then Goku's brow furrowed, and looked at Vegeta more carefully.
"But Vegeta, you need Blutz waves to turn Super Saiyan 4? And Bulma's equipment was destroyed the last time you did it." Goku said worriedly.
Vegeta just smiled, and then turned to him face to face.
"I've been saving this for a rainy day Kakarot," Vegeta pulled out a device that looked sort of like a gun, "do you know what this is Kakarot?
Goku looked at it puzzled, and scratched his head, "You brought a gun? What good is that going to do against them?"
Vegeta huffed and then put the device back.
"It's not a gun you idiot," Vegeta said, "it's a Blutz wave generator, hand held."
Goku looked at him quizzically and then smiled.
"I see, you were planning on using it the next time we fought didn't you?"
Vegeta smiled and then started to walk back to Piccolo.
"Ok, let's get this party started people." Vegeta shouted.
Dende looked over to Piccolo and then gestured for him to sit on the ground.
"Just sit here Piccolo, and then I'll kneel before you."
Piccolo got into his 'Indian style' sitting position, removed his turban and shoulder pads, and then looked up at Dende. Dende squatted, closed his eyes and held out his hands straight. Piccolo straightened his arms out, and then opened his hands palms out towards Dende.
"KALEMASHITA, ASTOLIAMTIS SITANISHEME CIFITENSE AMETOA ATO SALI!" Piccolo exclaimed.
Then a bright light surrounded Piccolo, light green and shimmery, and then leapt over to Dende. The light seemed to be energy of a kind that not even Goku or Vegeta could sense. The energy then burst outward from Piccolo and surrounded Dende; Piccolo dropped his arms and then said a few words in his native tongue that were incomprehensible to anyone.
"Kalahemde, shormali, acamende, dalishomo." Dende said as he also dropped his arms.
Dende turned and then walked in Vegeta's direction, looking at him with a thought of concern.
"Now if I do this you guys, I'll never be able to do it again. I can only take away the days once. After that, you guys are stuck with only the real world. Unless you want to end up stuck in the time chamber." Dende warned them.
Goku looked up at Dende and then looked over to Vegeta.
"Can't you just alter the rules for the Time Chamber? Can't you change how many days a person has?" Goku asked in desperation.
Dende sat and thought, a very confused look appearing on his face. The thought had never crossed his mind before. Being able to stay in the Time Chamber longer than two days would really make things a little easier on them. Not to mention raise their power levels immensely.
"Piccolo do you know a way of doing that? Or does Kami?" Dende turned to Piccolo.
Piccolo sat silent for a moment contemplating on what they were trying to accomplish. Being in the hyperbolic time chamber would mean a lot of stress on their bodies. Not to mention a little more time than they could spare. However, if they could be in there for multiple times, it would make future battles a little better. Piccolo pondered all this in silence, trying to make a judgment on the question asked.
"YOU KNOW PICCOLO AS WELL AS I THAT WE HAVE THOUGHT OF THAT BEFORE. BUT NOW IT SEEMS LIKE A VERY WISE IDEA IF ONE IS TO LOOK TO THE FUTURE. AND GOKU AND VEGETA HAVE PROVEN TO BE ABLE TO BE TRUSTED WITH THE RESPONSIBILITIES. WHY DON'T WE SHARE OUR INFORMATION WITH THEM? IT MIGHT TURN THE TIDES IN OUR FAVOR." Kami said to Piccolo in his mind.
Piccolo opened his eyes, "I will tell you, but Goku and Vegeta have to promise not to misuse the Time Chamber."
Vegeta looked at Goku nodded, and then turned to Piccolo.
"We agree Namek, now let us begin." Vegeta replied.
