Jason9000: Hi everyone. I have a good news and bad news. The bad news is I was laid off from work. It's a long and boring story that would extend this author's note to a chapter just by itself. Anyway the good news is since I'm no longer working I won't be as exhausted when I come home and I'll have more time to write. Alright, enough about my employment issues and let's move on to the next chapter.*

Bojack remembered fighting against the Namek all those years ago. In his regular form the Namek offered him some form of entertainment. It was unfortunate that he was knocked down so early. He would have been a great warm-up. In fact if both he and that Saiyan Prince had fought together, then it would have been a real warm-up and Bojack may have taken the Saiyan brat more seriously. That was in the past though, and this was now.

Bojack wasn't expecting the amount of power that Piccolo's punch had. In his mind he was laughing at the Namek's outburst and his first move of attack. Bojack saw it coming the whole way. It was almost as if Piccolo was moving at a ridiculous slow pace. He almost wanted to dodge it, but held back just to prove to this green man that his power was not something that anyone could hope to grasp at this point.

However, what Bojack didn't notice was the amount of energy that Piccolo was quickly gathering during his attack. Anyone that had at least an intermediate understanding of sensing energy would catch it from watching from the sidelines. While Bojack, of course can sense energy at an impressive rate, mostly thanks to his species genetics and physiology. He didn't usually apply it, because for so long he thought himself the best in the Universe. That was until Gohan killed him and then he met Cell in Hell. Cell had given him a constant headache once he discovered that he lasted a bit longer against Gohan at his full power than he did. Even though it was around a minute at the most, Cell had gone nuts and challenged the space pirate to a fight to prove his "perfection".

Bojack simply ignored him, because Cell's boast of "perfection" bored him to tears. That was why he constantly avoided Cell on a regular basis when they were confined into Hell. It hadn't been easy. Since most of his old gang deserted him, because they were either pissed at him for leading to their deaths, or felt betrayed in Zangya's case when he used her as a shield against Gohan's wrath.

Back to the matter at hand though, when Piccolo's fist collided with Bojack's face he felt in that split second that the Namek was much stronger than the last time they faced. Oh sure the space pirate expected a power increase, but not of this magnitude.

Bojack was sent flying back into the rocks fifty feet back. Before the space pirate could recover Piccolo had fired an energy wave that pushed Bojack up into the sky. The space pirate was still trying to recover from the surprising strong punch, that he didn't bother trying to fight back against the energy wave pushing him into the sky. When he finally focused on what was going on, he found out that he was still being thrown into the atmosphere. Bojack realized however, that Piccolo wasn't pouring more energy into the wave and it seemed that the wave itself was pushing him further up towards space.

Finally Bojack powered up and was able to cancel the wave. He looked down toward Piccolo's last position, but found him gone. He tried to sense where he could have gone, but the Namek had seemingly disappeared.

Suddenly he sensed Piccolo's energy spiking up above him.

Bojack turned and saw Piccolo coming down from above posing to kick him. Bojack darted out of the way and grabbed Piccolo's foot. He tightened his grip and then began spinning Piccolo around in circles before tossing him down toward the ground below.

Piccolo couldn't even register that he was falling till it was too late. Bojack had flung him so fast that everything was a blur. One moment he was being spun around in circles, the next he was falling toward the ground so fast that his eyes couldn't even register where he was going.

Finally he hit the ground with such force that he made a crater that made a three mile hole into the planet. Piccolo was dazed for a moment shaking his head trying to regain his composure. He stood up and pushed the rocks off of him. He brought his hand up to his head to take his turban off, but his hand grabbed nothing.

'Oh that's right I don't have it anymore. No wonder I feel lighter already. This'll take some time getting used to,' Piccolo thought to himself.

He then dashed out of the crater and zoomed up to where Bojack was waiting for him.

Bojack had spotted Piccolo charging at him and then began powering up his Trap Shooter technique. Unlike his Full Power Energy Blast Volley, this attack was designed to better hone in on his opponent than having to be a fast barrage of powerful Ki blasts.

Piccolo saw the attack coming and braced himself. He crossed his arms in front of his face to defend himself from the barrage. He felt the attack slam into his body one after the other. The attacks did sting and he felt his arms heat up from the sheer heat of the energy blasts. When he felt the last of the barrage hit him he brought his hands down.

Bojack had wasted no time in waiting for Piccolo to recover. He began charging a Grand Smasher in his hand after he saw Piccolo cross his arms in defense. He then rushed toward the Namek in hopes of taking him by surprise. Fortune was with Bojack on this one. For as soon as Piccolo brought his arms down, he found Bojack's hand in front of his face with a green energy sphere in front of his eyes.

Before Piccolo could react, Bojack detonated it in Piccolo's face sending the Namek flying back.

'That cheap shooting prick! Wait till I get my hands on him…' Piccolo thought to himself flying back.

Bojack stood there smirking confidently. Piccolo was already showing signs of losing. From what the others had told him, he never removed his cape and turban unless he was serious. Now here he was, fighting near his best and Bojack wasn't even breaking a sweat. Although he may be stronger than the Cold's elites, he still posed no threat to Bojack.

Piccolo recovered by flipping himself upright and stared at the space pirate.

'Okay judging by his attacks, he doesn't seem like he's using much of his strength just yet. If that's true, than the Elder Kai's ability to unlock someone's full potential is far more powerful than I thought of. This is just the tip of the iceberg. I need to be careful, I'm not sure how strong I've gotten thanks to those impish wizards, but hopefully I can land some good hits in. Or stun him long enough to use the Evil Containment Wave,' Piccolo thought to himself.

"What's the matter Namek? Are you having second thoughts on fighting me? My powers are far greater than the last time we met back on that beloved planet Earth of yours. If you thought I was difficult to defeat then, you may as well cut off your own head and save yourself the trouble," Bojack called out.

Piccolo blinked for a second in confusion and titled his head to the side.

"What are you babbling about you drunken fool? I've never fought you on Earth. I just met you over six months ago when Tambourine first brought you to my father's castle," Piccolo responded.

Now it was Bojack's turn to look confused for a brief second.

"You're calling me a drunken fool? I distinctly remember knocking you into submission. You would have died if it hadn't been for that kid named Gohan," Bojack said floating toward him.

Again Piccolo heard that name Gohan. First by Kami and that other Namek that looked exactly like him and now by Bojack. What did it mean? What was so important about this Gohan person? He doesn't have any memory of meeting someone named Gohan. Could they be talking about Son Goku's first born? But, that doesn't make much sense, he only saw him head-butt Raditz. After Goku killed him, he never saw Gohan again.

"Look I don't know what you're rambling about, but I would prefer to keep going. I'm not one for idle talk during a fight," Piccolo said getting in an offensive stance.

"How could you not know who Gohan is? He's like your nephew or some son you never had. I thought Cell told me that you looked after him for a year before the Saiyans arrived to try and destroy the Earth. What happened Namek did Daddy dearest erase your memory?" Bojack joked.

Piccolo snarled in rage and flew at the space pirate. Bojack tried to punch right into Piccolo's chest, but it went right through him and he disappeared.

The space pirate cursed realizing it was an after image. He didn't even have enough time to look around before Piccolo grabbed his arm.

The Namek then knife handed him in the stomach and then threw him into the air. He crossed his arms and fired an energy wave out of his mouth to finish his Explosive Breath Cannon to send Bojack flying.

The attack gave Bojack a small bruise on his stomach and then the mouth wave from Piccolo gave him a very small burn. If Piccolo was able to do that, then maybe he has more fight in him then he previously believed.

Bojack stopped himself. He growled at his opponent and quickly brought his hand out and began charging his Grand Smasher. He brought his hand back after charging it and launched it at Piccolo.

'Wait a minute…every time I land a hit on him…he becomes enraged and just launches a powerful attack at me. He doesn't even take in his surroundings. I wonder…perhaps if I can use a combination of guerilla tactics then maybe I can beat him. I stand no chance of facing him in a head on charge, this is the only chance I've got,' Piccolo thought to himself.

He raised both his hands to the side and waited for the attack. Once it was just about to hit his face he then swung his hands to deflect it.

Immediately Piccolo regretted it, for it took much of his strength to deflect the blast. His arms felt like they were on fire once it was done. The energy sphere launched itself up into the sky and flew off into space.

Piccolo shook his arms to try and lessen the burns that were on his arms. He waited a few seconds and his arms quickly began regenerating. It didn't take much energy, but Piccolo was a bit concerned on how much energy it took to block the attack and also to regenerate.

Bojack in the meanwhile had flown at Piccolo in a rage. After Piccolo deflected the blast he punched Piccolo through the chest.

The Namekian reeled back in pain. It felt like his fist was just short of going through his body. It felt like he may have a broken rib or three just from the one punch.

Bojack then initiated a variation of his Galactic Tyrant technique. He then grabbed Piccolo by his throat and threw him up in the air. He then punched him twice, one in the stomach and once in the head in quick succession. He proceeded to head-butt Piccolo and quickly flew behind him and kicked Piccolo in the side of the head down into the planet below.

Piccolo once again slammed into the ground. This time it took him a minute to even think of recovering. His mind and body were still in shock from the attack Bojack executed. When he finally came to, he could tell that if this continued, he wouldn't be able to keep up with Bojack for very long.

Piccolo feigned unconsciousness to try and surprise Bojack.

"Aw what's wrong Namek? Getting tired already? Are you really only cannon fodder? It seems like all you're good for is stupidly sacrificing yourself to protect Gohan when he's about to perish. That or you can only fight if your Daddy is holding your hand. Maybe I'll rip off your head and sent it to your father as a gift?" He asked hovering over the Namek.

'Damn it, at this rate I'm done for! I knew Bojack was strong, but I never once thought he was this powerful. Maybe I should have trained more before taking on this assignment,' Piccolo thought to himself.

Bojack landed and started to walk towards Piccolo's fallen form. The space pirate grinned thinking of how much it would piss the Demon King off if he sent his offspring back to him in pieces. Perhaps the Demon King would finally heed his warning and just leave him alone once and for all.

Once Piccolo felt Bojack standing over him his eyes sprung open and were glowing. He then unleashed his Eye Beams attack on the space pirate standing over him.

For Bojack, luck seemed to be against him. While Piccolo had been planning on using his Eye Beams, he couldn't be more thankful on where it hit.

Because, of the nature of the attack, it's incredibly difficult for a fighter with Ki sensing ability to even see it coming. Since the attack takes only seconds to charge up, most people don't even see it coming and once they do, they better have cat like reflexes to either dodge or focus their own energy to defend themselves from the attack.

Piccolo had been slowly charging the attack with his eyes closed. For most people that have a similar attack with their arsenal they just concentrate their Ki on their eyes and let loose. Piccolo though had other plans.

Normally it's very, very dangerous to take time and charge the Eye Beams attack. The eyes are one of the few areas of the body that can't take much of a beating, no matter what species they are. Piccolo was taking a massive gamble with charging that much energy into his eyes and then shooting it at an opponent. If he charges it too much, he risks the attack backfiring and damaging his eyes possibly to the point where not even his regeneration could fix his eyes. Piccolo made sure that it was at a slow pace so he wouldn't risk damaging his eyes while charging it too fast.

When Piccolo fired his attack it hit his target; however, for Bojack it was in the one area that was the least protected. He was hit in the eyes from the attack.

For Bojack it took less than a second for it to register that he was hit. Once that second was up, he felt like his eyes were on fire.

"MY EYES, MY EYES! I CAN'T SEE! CURSE YOU, YOU FILTHY NAMEK!" Bojack roared rubbing his eyes.

Bojack stumbled around clawing at his eyeballs. They were in so much pain that he didn't even notice Piccolo getting up.

Piccolo took a moment to admire his work. While he was planning on at least hitting Bojack's chin, this turned out better than he hoped.

Piccolo then appeared behind Bojack and kicked him in the back sending the space pirate flying in the opposite direction. He then used his speed to fly next to Bojack and uppercutted him into the sky.

Bojack couldn't even respond. His eyes were in too much pain to even think of him trying to get defend himself properly. All he did was rub his eyes hoping that it would try and lessen the pain he was in.

Piccolo appeared above the space pirate and smashes him back down to the planet with the double ax handle.

Bojack's body fell make another crater into the once peaceful planet. His body was buried under some rocks, so he figured he could buy some time trying playing unconscious so he could recover properly.

Piccolo knew immediately that Bojack was just buying time to recover. He had little options at this point. He was running through some scenarios in his head and most of them didn't favor his odds of winning.

On one hand he could try to fight Bojack on one on. He knew that even in a blind rage that Bojack wouldn't be able to ignore the pain of his eyeballs. However, if Bojack were to go full strength and blow up the planet for

Piccolo could keep up this cat and mouse game for a while as well, but Bojack would most likely just blow up the planet in an effort to defeat Piccolo. Bojack had the advantage there since he could survive in space and Piccolo can't. So that wouldn't work out either.

'Come on think Piccolo, there's got to be another way to weaken him so I can hit him properly with the Evil Containment Wave,' Piccolo thought to himself.

Suddenly Piccolo had a thought. Using his speed he could make multiple after images of himself thus causing Bojack to become confused and he wouldn't be able to tell where exactly Piccolo is. Then he could attack and this time he could charge up his newly improved technique.

Piccolo grinned and slowly began charging energy in the tip of his fingers.

Bojack had spent a good two minutes in the crater rubbing his eyes in the attempt to make the pain subside. Finally it seemed to have some luck. He slowly opened his eyes. His vision was blurred to say the least. It took another minute for his eyes to adjust to both the pain and the information of actually seeing and registering what everything was in his brain.

Finally he stood up slowly and shielded his eyes so rocks wouldn't fall on it. He then started to breathe heavily in uneven patterns as his anger was getting the best of him.

"That green little punk! How dare he attack me with such a cheap trick?! I'll rip his eyes out and see how he likes!" Bojack swore to himself.

He then powered up and flew out toward Piccolo. He noticed the Namek standing there with his hands cackling with energy. Red sparks were seen spazzing out in random intervals.

"You're going to pay for what you did there worm! I'm going to rip your eyes out and then force feed them down your throat!" Bojack called up toward the floating Namek.

"Oh right like I've never heard that threat before," Piccolo called out in a sarcastic voice.

Bojack's anger ran over his reason. If he was an intelligent fighter, he would've caught on and realize he was playing into Piccolo's hand.

He charged the Namek and was Hell bent on ripping his head clean off. When he was about to wrap his hands around the Namek's throat he vanished.

"Huh? An after image? No matter, when I get my hands on you, I'm going to strangle you," He called out.

"Well first you'd have to actually get your hands on me and that's failed so far," Piccolo called out from behind him.

Bojack turned and Piccolo was again behind him. This time though he was raising both hands to his forehead.

Bojack didn't even bother with a response and charged at Piccolo. He brought his hand back to punch Piccolo but he faded away again.

"Come out and face me!" Bojack roared.

"Perhaps if you looked around, you would begin to understand while you're having trouble keeping up with me," Piccolo's voiced called out from all directions.

Bojack looked around and saw that there were dozens of Piccolos. All mostly transparent and were grinning at him in an evil manner.

Slowly each of the transparent Piccolos' brought both hands up to his forehead. His index and middle fingers were held against his head while the rest of his fist curled up.

"I don't care how many of you there are! I'll just blast you all back to Hell!" Bojack said flying up into the sky.

Bojack brought his hands back and began firing his Full Power Energy Blast Volley attack down on the Piccolos'. Each of them passed through and for each one it hit, another took its place.

Each of the after images slowly had more sparks by their fingers and more energy was building up.

Bojack in response fired more and more Volleys down onto them in a faster rate. He wanted to try and catch the Namek before he fired the attack so it had the chance of backfiring on him and hurting him.

"What's the matter Bojack? Can't hit what you can't see? If you actually applied the use of sensing energy, instead of relying on your damaged eyes…you may actually hit me," Piccolo called out.

Bojack then stopped his attack and brought both of his hands up gathering energy.

"Fine if you really want to play these games, then I hope you're ready to die in space. I'm done with this game of cat and mouse. Say your prayers Namek!" Bojack yelled out ready to perform his ultimate attack known as the Galactic Buster.

"Oh, I'm ready alright Bojack, just not ready to die," Piccolo's voice called out from above.

Bojack looked up just as he was bring his hands to his forehead to launch the attack and saw Piccolo in a middle stance with both of his hands resting on his head.

He brought his hands back and quickly thrust them forehead screaming.

"Twin Special Beam Cannon!"

Before Bojack could even react, the two beams came rushing down toward him. He only blinked in confusion and shock as he couldn't quite figure out the nature of the attack.

Bojack had expected it to be similar to most energy attacks where it would blow up in his face and leave him very injured. What he didn't know was that the attack was more of a drill, which had the potential to go through enemies with strength that Piccolo had yet to achieve. Raditz had learned this the hard way all those years ago, and since Bojack wasn't really paying attention to Piccolo when they met, it was no surprise that this attack caught him off guard.

The two attacks first hit his underarms. He felt the burning pain of the attack hit him and then it slowly started going through his skin and into his arms. What felt like an eternity to Bojack was only a few seconds to Piccolo. Both of the beams went through his underarms and right back out through his shoulders. In the process the drill like attack had completely destroyed all of the bone, muscle, and nerves that were in the way of the attack. At the same time he felt the searing pain of the attack, but his body seemed to be tricking itself into also thinking it was cauterized from the attack.

Bojack screamed in pain and dropped the massive energy sphere in his hand and it fell to the planet below.

Piccolo saw the attack drop and flew down at his full speed to intercept it. He quickly put his hands together to gather enough energy to form his Light Grenade attack. When the Galactic Buster was twenty feet away from him he launched it.

The Grenade hit the oncoming energy sphere and quickly slowed it down. Piccolo began charging another one and fired two more in rapid succession.

When the third one finally hit, it finally had enough power to push the Galactic Buster back up toward Bojack.

The Space Pirate didn't even move from his position when the Twin Special Beam Cannon came into contact with him. He was in far too much pain. When he saw his own attack being redirected at him, he could only put up the smallest bit of defense he had.

The attack hit him dead on and a massive explosion was seen where Bojack once floated. Piccolo had to shield his eyes, because it was so bright and the shockwave shook the planet. Most of the wild life fled the area trying to escape and get away from the bright light and the loud noise.

When the explosion subsided Piccolo stood firm. Waiting to see what had happened to Bojack.

He was still there floating up in the sky. His body was badly burned and he was bleeding profusely where the two cannons had hit him. His pants were ripped below his knee caps and his shoes were torn. His eyes were bulging out from the sheer pain of it and couldn't believe what had happened. Piccolo could sense his energy levels dropping. Piccolo's attacks plus Bojack's own had done a bad number on the space pirate.

Slowly he fell back down toward the planet and crashed onto the ground.

When he didn't get up for a minute, Piccolo slowly walked toward him remaining on guard. He wasn't sure what Bojack was planning, but he was ready in case the he was trying to do some sort of sneak attack.

Piccolo stood over him. Bojack was breathing heavily and he was trying his best to stay conscious.

"Damn you…you filthy worm. I should be standing over you, not the opposite," Bojack mumbled.

Piccolo's gaze hardened. His antenna started glowing and he hit Bojack with an electrical attack that caused the space pirate to wince in pain, but he couldn't move beyond that.

"Now what are you doing?" Bojack asked him.

"Hold still and this won't hurt any more than it needs to." Piccolo responded bringing out a bottle.

He took ten steps back and placed it on the ground and took the cap off.

Bojack noticed that it had red writing on it. He couldn't make it out, but he was sure that it must've meant something.

"Save your energy Bojack, if you thought this was bad…wait until my father gets his hands on you. I'm very glad that I'm not in your position. Word of advice, try to save whatever energy you have left and focus on trying to keep your sanity," Piccolo said.

"Wha…What are you talking about?" Bojack asked him trying to move.

Piccolo grinned hideously at him and his eyes were daunting him while he spoke.

"You'll find out. Now sit tight so I can get this over with."

Piccolo then brought both his hands to the side and gathered his energy.

"Evil Containment Wave!" He yelled.

A vortex of green energy began swirling around him and Bojack saw it hone it on him. He tried his best to escape, but Piccolo's last attack had him paralyzed and that wasn't factoring in the pain he was in.

Finally just when the paralysis wore off Piccolo's attack hit him. Bojack felt his body being swept away, despite his protests. He felt himself being thrown around in a circle within the vortex. He cursed the Namek for somehow squeezing his way to victory and swore revenge.

Bojack's body was getting smaller and smaller. He realized now that this attack was meant to trap him inside the bottle. Finally Piccolo swung his arms aiming the attack to land in the bottle.

His aim was true and Bojack's body landed inside the bottle. Piccolo quickly ran and secured the cap on the bottle and heaved a great sigh.

He felt his energy drain immensely. He had spent quite a bit of energy during the fight and using the Evil Containment Wave on a powerful being such as Bojack had taken a lot out of him. He felt unusually tired, but he attributed it to the drainage of the technique used to trap Bojack.

He picked up the bottle and placed it in his pocket. He searched the planet for some water and found some. Piccolo slowly flew over there and made his way to it. He cupped his hands and drank a small bit to see if it was poisoned.

He waited a few minutes and nothing happened so he then used his Magic Materialization move to create a big water bottle for himself. He then scooped up the water in it and began to drink.

For fifteen minutes he alternated between drinking and relaxing. When he finally had his fill, he refilled the water bottle again and sealed it.

He concentrated on sending a message to his father through their mental bond. When he felt his presence his sent his message.

'I've captured Bojack sire, I'm ready to return home whenever you're ready,' Piccolo said sending the mental message back to the Demon King.

*Jaso9000: And that ends the battle between Piccolo and Bojack. While Bojack was indeed far stronger than Piccolo, Piccolo demonstrated that it's not always strength and raw power that determines a battle, but cunning and having a clear mind. I hope you all enjoyed it. Please leave a review and have a good day.*
