Piccolo could sense Vegeta and Krillin but he didn't care. Nothing mattered, only the vengeance that Piccolo felt. He pounded his fist over and over again into Bellva's gut, each time making the crater in the ground deeper and deeper.
Finally, Piccolo got a reward for his efforts as Bellva first grunted, then screamed with each hammer of Piccolo's fist or foot.
A deep violet light was surrounding Piccolo now, and the air was hot with friction. He jumped up and then came down, planting both feet into Bellva's gut, hard. Bellva screamed, but, as Piccolo was moving so fast, the alien didn't have time to regenerate any of his wounds.
Piccolo pulled Bellva out of the crater and held him up by the throat. He slammed his knee up into Bellva's gut again and then punched the ugly alien in the face over and over again. He grabbed Bellva's arm and swung him up and around then slammed his back into the ground.
"You think this is pain? I haven't even begun yet." Piccolo whispered viciously, his fangs bared.
Goku kicked another mini out of the way and actually managed to blast it without the creature gaining power from the blast. Vegeta was having similar luck and was able to blast a few more of the beasts.
Goku had powered up to Super Saiyan and was kicking the creatures around as though they were nothing. Goku was both shocked, amazed and even a little amused by Piccolo's anger at Gohan's death.
It proved that Gohan was indeed special to Piccolo. Goku smiled as he flung a monster around over his head. It also gave Goku a slight pang. It also proved that perhaps Piccolo had spent more time with Gohan than Goku had. Goku shook the selfish thought out of his head.
I love Gohan, Goku thought as he and Vegeta got closer, I want him to be as happy as he can be.
"What's the matter, Vegeta?" Goku called with a wry smile. "You seem to be fighting more violently than usual!"
"Gohan was a great warrior Kakarot! His death must be avenged!" Vegeta called back as he snapped the neck of another mini monster. Goku nodded.
"Piccolo seems to be doing just that!" Goku called back and Vegeta and Goku swung two of the monsters together and destroyed them.
Piccolo was alternating between kick to the gut and a punch to the face. He did this about 20 times and then slammed his knee into Bellva so hard, that a hole appeared.
Piccolo, without realising it, was actually defeating Bellva. He threw all his weight into the next kick which sent Bellva into a nearby mountain. Piccolo sped after him and decided to try a blast again.
He powered up as the rocks settled and held out his hands towards Bellva's inert body. The blast was dark purple and lightning zapped around it as it got larger and larger until it was about the size of 3 kamehameha waves.
Piccolo let it go and hoped against hope that it would succeed. It did. Piccolo felt Bellva's energy drain and then heard the scream as the explosion took place. It was high and piercing and Piccolo smiled. Bellva was defeated, and Earth was saved, but at what personal cost?
Piccolo landed on the ground, his gi ripped about the knees and his shoes tattered. The smoke cleared and Piccolo could not sense Bellva anyway. Another good sign was the fact that the minis had died as well. They were all gone. Piccolo looked to the sky.
"I did it. I did it for you Gohan." he said and then collapsed, fatigue finally taking over his body.
