Chapter 28
A few months has passed, there was Gohan bravely exploring planet Namek accompanied by Bulma and Krillin, facing all the interlaced trials against his quest in reviving his mentor
The Namekian dragon balls was capable of 3 wishes, and to Gohan's delight everyone involved voted for Piccolo to be first revived except for the Saiyan prince Vegeta, who wasn't present when the dragon Porunga was summoned, and to top it off, Piccolo requested to be brought to Namek then Chaotzu and Tennshinan was revived but they got sent to earth, Yamcha opted to stay, he'll wait his turn to be wished back
Piccolo was shaken, his body was zapped back to existence, he was now alive and breathing, he was momentarily numb before he curiously flew and felt his surroundings, he took the view in awe and calmness, the whole scenery was green, the water was green, the sky was green, the grass funnily enough was dark green and there was one, no three suns
He was in his home planet, it was surreal to say the least when he was done with his epiphany he set his course to locate his dear student, his focus was deterred when he sensed an unknown Ki dropped in life threatening levels
The ex demon spotted a fellow Namekian injured, he surveyed the area and cautiously landed
He walked over to the tattered body and looked at it neutrally, empathy absent but he was curious
The other man, coughed and spitted purple blood and saliva but persevere in trying to speak, he spoke in a dialect Piccolo only heard and used eons ago, the two conversed in Namekian tongue
" Please stop, Freeza" the Namekian named Nail, spat in difficulty
" I'm busy, sorry" Piccolo coldy replied, he knew of Freeza, but this ex demon had his priority straight
" h-how are you busy, what could be more impo-" the other guy had another fit of coughs
The purple gi'd Namekian, was having schadenfreude moment
Nail was starting to be under the impression, the guy hovering above him was a massive jerk, his essence didn't feel evil though, since he was on his last breath and can very much die at any moment he forgone all his manners and gentle nature
" heh, when Gohan talked about you I thought you were a saint" the injured man did all he could just to finish that sentence, there was no mockery there, just amusement of the juxtaposition of the kid's story vs the real life
Piccolo kneeled, more willing to cooperate at the mentioned of his friend's name, he passed some of his energy to the other guy, just enough for the man to keep himself alive, then icily interrogated him allowing no nonsense banter until he get the needed information, he let up when the other Namekian answered with what he was knowledgeable about
"Could you be any gentler," Nail sarcastically grunted as he was being carried like a sack of rice, helplessly swinging against the wind, in a speedy flight
" In case you forgot I'm injured "
" Oh jeez, I'm sorry let me just slow down since there is no prominent threat and carry you bridal style" Piccolo mocked
The two bickered like long time roommates all the way to elder Guru's humble abode, they made it just in the nick of time
There Nail was healed and Piccolo was put up to speed at what's been occurring
Unfortunately, the mayhem that was happening on the planet greatly distressed the Elder and his last act of defiance against the tyrannical ruler was to unlock the earth born's Namek's potential
They split up after, the Namekian warrior flew towards villages to come to their aid and search for his little brother Dende, Piccolo on the other hand put all his efforts in locking in Gohan's ki
