Dragon Ball Kai

Chapter 4

King Piccolo

After waking up in the middle of the woods and eating a giant roasted fish, Goku was completely healed. However it turned out that the fish belonged to a very angry boy that carried a Dragon Ball on his neck, his name was Yajirobe. He tried to tell the guy that holding on to the Dragon Ball would be nothing but bad news, with those strong monsters looking for them, but he didn't listen.

In the end, after going their different ways briefly, Goku followed his gut instinct and tailed Yajirobe until he was confronted by the same monster that had killed Krillin.

"Wait up Yajirobe!" He yelled while running towards them until he was between them, "Leave him to me. He'll pay for what he did to Krillin."

"You're alive?" Tambourine let out with a hint of annoyance that has concealed by his surprise. "I guess this time I'll have to make sure that you're dead."

Goku frowned, "I'm gonna make you pay for all that you've done!"

Tambourine laughed at that, "Really? Last time we fought you couldn't even touch me."

"I was tired and hungry that time, but now I'll beat you!"

The demon continued to laugh but the sound died in his throat when the brat disappeared from view, "What?" Before he could process what happened, an elbow connected with his face and sent him hurling through the air. Goku was above him in moments and kicked him on the back, sending him crashing on the ground.

The young Saiyan landed on the ground with a frown. "This," he placed his hands at his side and began to gathered energy, "Is for Krillin!"

Tambourine's face twisted in fear before he bolted from the area, using his wings to fly through the air to get away from the brat.

"Kamehameha!"

The demon turned his head only to see a giant blue light.

Goku let out a breath. He had finally avenged Krillin.


There was no way he could beat him...

Goku came to the morbid realization as he was struck on the face over and over again by a smirking King Piccolo. It didn't take a genius to know that there was a big gap between their strength.

"You will share the fate of anyone on this world who opposes me," King Piccolo laughed as he continued to attack the boy.


Yajirobe could hardly believe that he let himself be roped into such a mess just by the promise of food. Scaling a tower with an injured Goku on his back was beyond what he would ever do for a meal, he should just get back down and find someone else to take him up the tower.

Feeling Goku shift on his back and groan quietly, Yajirobe bit his lip and continued up the tower.

He wasn't about to say that he thought of Goku as a friend but he would help him up the tower anyway, he'd given his word after all. Besides, that meal he'd been promised was still waiting.

Forgetting about his earlier thoughts, Yajirobe moved even faster up the tower.


Not only Krillin now, but Master Roshi, and even Chiatzu...

Goku clenched his fists as he urged his new Nimbus to move even faster. With the power he had gotten after drinking the Ultra Divine Water, he would avenge his friends and end King Piccolo once and for all.


"Finish him off and make it as painful as possible."

Tien knew after hearing those words that there was no hope left for the world. With him died the only technique able to seal away the evil monster. No one else could hope to stop King Piccolo.

Sprawled helplessly on the ground as the large Drum approached him slowly, Tien knew that he had failed his dead friends.

'Master Roshi. Chiatzu... Please forgive me.'

Tien closed his eyes as he waited for death but then something happened. The sound of rushing wind, a loud impact, and then a thud.

"I...must be dreaming!" Tien exclaimed once he opened his eyes. He was staring at the back of none other than... "G-Goku."

"Oh," the boy turned with a relieved smile, "Tien, great to see you."

"Goku..." Tien repeated before breaking into a smile, "You're really alive!"

King Piccolo smirked at the sigh of the boy, "You're a persistent little runt. Next time I beat you I'll make sure you are truly dead."

"I might surprise you," Goku answered with a confident smile. "Hm? There's something different about you."

"Good of you to notice," King Piccolo smirked, "I've been rejuvenated. Let's just say that I'm somewhere between invincible and immortal now."

Tien frowned at that before he noticed something in alarm, "Goku! You have to leave this place!"

"He's not going anywhere," said Drum as he approached the boy, who turned to meet his eyes, "Not after he dared hit me."

"Goku you have to go! He's a lot faster than he looks!"

At those words Drum flickered out of sight and reappeared behind an unmoving Goku who instantly turned around and delivered a powerful kick to the monster's neck, killing it instantly. The boy landed on the ground and turned to meet the surprised King Piccolo's eyes.

'His strength is phenomenal!' Tien thought in pure disbelief, 'He finished him off in just one hit!'

King Piccolo chuckled in amusement, "It seems you are stronger than I first gave you credit for. However, there is no way for you to even scratch me."

The tall evil monster walked towards the boy before chopping at his face but Goku easily blocked the attack with one hand. King Piccolo frowned and threw a punch with much more strength, but the boy caught him by the wrist and flung him over his shoulder, sending the evil King crashing against a building.

Goku smiled as he watched King Piccolo raising from the rubble, "That's more than a scratch isn't it?"

"You insolent runt! Now you really made me angry!" The evil King roared in fury as he pointed a finger at the boy and fired a powerful blast of ki.

Goku dodged the attacks in any way he could. Jumping, sidestepping, rolling, and even performing back flips from time to time.

'I-Impossible,' Tien watched the fight in awe. He couldn't even see Goku move anymore, the only thing he could see was King Piccolo firing powerful attacks rapidly.

Finally having enough, King Piccolo abandoned his first plan of attack and jumped high in the air before diving towards the boy at a great speed, and at the last second fired a large ki blast at him. Goku easily dodged by jumping in the air but that was what the evil King wanted as he smirked and fired another ki blast.

With no way to dodge, Goku put his hands in front of him protectively and took the attack head on. What resulted was a powerful explosion that made King Piccolo believe he had killed the brat, but the boy emerged from the attack without a scratch.

"He stopped King Piccolo's attack..." Tien let out in disbelief as he watched Goku land on the ground.

"You took very important people from me... I will never forgive you," Goku glared at the monster.

King Piccolo laughed in response but the sound died in his throat when Goku flickered out of sight and delivered a powerful punch to his face. Completely blindsided, the evil King sailed through the air with Goku following after him. King Piccolo flipped himself on the air to regain his senses but received a kick on his back that sent him crashing into one of his grunts, who was crushed under the very large monster.

Goku grinned as his enemy slowly got on his feet, practically seething in pure fury. No more words were needed between the two. Both charged at the other and attacked.

From the sidelines, Tien watched the fight with nothing but fascination. Both were moving so fast that he could barely keep up, only when the two clashed could he spot them, but they would disappear almost immediately. Just how strong had Goku gotten?

Goku and King Piccolo broke apart after exchanging several blows, but the monster appeared to have taken the worst of it. Even so, despite his injuries, he laughed in amusement.

"Don't get cocky kid. This isn't even my full power. You should consider it an honor that you are the very first to ever hurt my pride," King Piccolo smirked and clenched his fists, preparing to let out his full power, "Now you will die! HAAAAAA!"

The ground shook as the green monster gathered all of his energy until he finally let it all out with one final scream, causing a shock wave to rock the area.

"I don't usually use my full power but you've forced my hand," the evil King said in amusement.

"Then I won't hold back either," Goku grinned, making his enemy frown.

Once again the two charged at each other, Goku dodged the first strike aimed at his face but received another on his stomach. He retaliated immediately, flipping mid-air and delivering a punch to King Piccolo's face, before following it up with an elbow to his chest and a flurry of punches to his stomach. The green monster grunted in pain and was forced to move away from the brat.

"Are you some kind of monster?" King Piccolo couldn't help but ask.

"Says you," Goku grinned.

"I've had enough," King Piccolo growled. He stretched out his hands and gathered energy, "I'VE HAD ENOUGH!"

A massive blast of ki exploded out of his hands and rushed at the boy. King Piccolo laughed as he watched his attack light up the area, destroying everything around it and leaving only a wasteland where the city used to be.

"That's what you get for trying to fight the strongest in the world!" He laughed loudly.

"Hahaha. Don't be so full of yourself yet!"

Hearing the very familiar voice, King Piccolo looked up in the air to see the boy being held up by the human with three eyes.

"Damn you. Just die already!" The evil King began to charge up another attack but the boy was ready this time and charged in before he could finish it.

What Goku didn't count on was King Piccolo shooting laser beams from his eyes and making contact with his knee. The boy cried out in pain and held his knee in pain, unable to do anything at he received the next powerful ki blast head on.

An explosion rocked the area once again and left behind a massive crater where the boy used to be. This time King Piccolo was confident that the runt was dead but that turned out to be wrong as he saw the boy floating in the air with the help of a small cloud.

'H-how did he survive that?' King Piccolo asked himself in horror, 'He took the attack! Parts of his clothes were blown off! So why is he still alive?'

Goku chuckled as he let go off his Nimbus and landed before the evil King.

With most of his power gone, King Piccolo knew that he had no choice but the exploit the runt's weakness. Not thinking twice, he rushed to the weak human with three eyes and grabbed him by the head.

"Look here runt! If you so much as move, I will decorate the place with this one's brains!"

"You coward!" Goku screamed in rage.

King Piccolo laughed, "You humans are all alike. You're soft. Unless you learn to do away with such petty emotions, you'll never defeat true evil." He took a nearby rock and sent it flying towards the boy, catching him on the right wrist and breaking it instantly.

"GAH!" Goku let out. "Sorry Tien..." he glared at the green monster, "I have no choice but to kill him."

"Do you really want me to kill your friend?" King Piccolo smirked.

"Go ahead and do it! I can always revive him later!"

"You don't know do you?" King Piccolo laughed again, "I killed Shenron. A weak dragon like that was no match for me."

Crestfallen, Goku was forced to remain still. He couldn't let Tien die.

"That's right runt," the evil King chuckled as he picked another rock and sent it flying towards the boy once again, this time catching him on his other leg, causing him to fall on the ground with both of his legs useless.

King Piccolo dropped Tien on the ground, no longer having any use for him. "It's finally time to kill you," his words dripping with malice, he flew high in the air before diving towards the fallen runt, "You're mine!"

"That's what you think!" Goku screamed with a glare as he raised a fist in the air, "I still have one arm left!" Putting everything he had into his hand, the boy rocketed himself off the ground with a Kemehameha and flew towards the evil King at an amazing speed, "I'll put everything I've got into this punch!"

King Piccolo stopped himself in the air and put all of his power into his hands which he stretched out in front of him defensively, "Good luck with that! I'll block it!"

Goku glared at the evil monster, "I'll go through you, you bastard!"

The two clashed, both putting all of their power behind their respective moves, however Goku broke through the hands of the enemy before tearing through his chest and leaving a gaping hole.

On the ground, Tien watched in awe as Goku went through King Piccolo, finally putting an end to the demon's terror.


"Is this going to become a thing with you?" Yajirobe asked as he pushed a Senzu Bean into Goku's mouth.

The boy laughed and jumped off his friend's back, completely healed and feeling even stronger than before.

"What will you do now Goku?" Korin asked in wonder.

"I wanted to revive my friends but King Piccolo killed Shenron..." Goku lamented.

Korin rubbed his chin in thought, "There might just be a way to bring Shenron back."

"What?!" Goku exclaimed in surprised. "How?!"

"By speaking to Kami, guardian of this world and creator of the Dragon Balls."
