The wind parted way as the King flew. His muscles were tense, body searching for any Ki discharge. Trunks and Vegeta were some of the strongest people on Earth. And since Super Saiyan increased the Saiyans' base strength 50 times that of their normal, they would be roaring power.

But Piccolo couldn't sense anything, save for the portrait-worthy assortment of canopy, undergrowth, and other foliage before him. The Sun glared at Piccolo, making him think he'd forgotten something. But when he looked at it inquisitively, it yielded no answer.

"Damn it Trunks, where are you?!" Piccolo shouted into the world. And that's when he saw it. The world filled with an explosion roughly the size of a nuclear bomb, and the wind knocked Piccolo back, in which he brought his hand in front of his face. While he didn't know the limits of Super Saiyan, he was sure neither Trunks or Vegeta could create a blast of that magnitude. Yelling, his neck muscles bulged, and he created a blue aura. It was unbroken and form-fitting. Indeed, he did not fuse with Kami in this reality. He waited until his body seemed to shake from within himself before collecting himself. Piccolo could feel his fellow Namekian brother, Nail's soul fill his veins, and with a war-cry, he set off towards the two black figures fighting rapidly on the horizon.

It was Vegeta!

Piccolo sensed the warriors' Ki once he was ten miles away, but it scared Piccolo to feel the second strongest Saiyans' power fading fast. The length at which Saiyans could sustain Super Siyan despite the power drain was impressive, but the strain on their bodies scared him. When he was 3 miles away, he could identify Vegeta fighting Android 18, Cell engaged with 17, who had the upper-hand, and Trunks unconscious several hundred feet below. 18 dodged a punch of Vegeta's by hopping back, and waited until he turned towards her to blast him in the face with a pink beam.

"Vegeta!" Piccolo warned, but it was too late. Vegeta crashed into the forest, sending tons of rock, earth and animals into an aerial ascent. The Saiyan didn't stop there, but destructively dragged across the landscape. He landed right below Piccolo; if the Namekian descended to the ground, Vegeta would be at his feet. The thought was not comforting. Vegeta's hair color faded back to black, and he relaxed, muscles unclenching as he slipped into unconsciousness. Piccolo grit his teeth in anger, and began to yell a challenge when 18 was upon him.

Piccolo raised his right arm to punch the machine, but the android's superior speed allowed her to hit him before he raised his elbow an inch high. A fist smashed into his cheek, pushing the skin of his mouth to the wisdom teeth on the other side as he crashed into the earth. Piccolo could barely move, he was in shock. "We can't be them..." he suddenly realized. It had been one thing saying it to Goku, but 18 barely had her clothes ripped, yet both Trunks and Vegeta were unconscious! How? They had fled at the sight of the Super Saiyans in Mickey Town, why could they so easily overpower them now?! Perhaps their batteries were more charged...Yes that must be it. Cell suddenly flew over the crater Piccolo was in at top speed, a panicked expression on his face while 17 and 18 pursued him, laughing as they fired blasts and purposely missed. Some hit Cell, causing him to flail and lose altitude before he regained it, albeit more slowly with each impact. Piccolo was perfectly content to slip into the darkness until his body woke again, but that would leave Cell at the mercy of the Androids, who possessed none.
And if Cell died, then so did Gohan.

Piccolo would not let that happen.

"No!" Piccolo shrieked, and he flew right up into 17's chin. Both Androids retreated a few feet in surprise, 17 rubbing his chin with a grin. Piccolo could not stop a wave of nausea to rack him, his mouth felt raw, his body having laxed a little since Frieza. Cell stopped, catching his breath while he could but 20feet away from Piccolo. "What are you doing?!" he gasped.

"Cell, get out of here. I'll hold the Androids as long as I can." Piccolo said, choosing not to reply. Just because he had to keep Cell alive for the others to hopefully capture, didn't mean he had to socialize. 18 laughed. "Oh please! One punch knocked you into that crater for a minute. I dispatched the boy Super Saiyan in one blow also, and that one-she pointed to Vegeta- in 3..."

"Maybe, but there are different levels of Super Saiyan." 18, 17, Cell, and Piccolo frowned in perplexed motions as they looked up. Descending so he was 100 feet behind them, was Goku. "G-Goku." Piccolo stuttered. Goku gave a weak smile. "Piccolo, get that cure from Cell. I'll hold the Androids."

"But you'll die!" Piccolo shouted. It infuriated him that a father would throw away his life when he had a son. Goku kept his smile, reading Piccolo's expression/

That's because you're Gohan's real father Piccolo. He'll get over my death, but he needs you. And besides, I have no plan of dying today." Goku raised his arms to his hips. Piccolo was speechless, as wes Cell. 17 clapped. "Bravoh! Awesome speech Goku, and while I have much data indicating that you're a highly accomplished fighter, even you can't take us both..." 18 nodded in agreement. Goku just smirked. "Well we'll have to see about that." Goku's whole atmosphere suddenly shifted, like the sun going behind a dark cloud. He screamed as storm clouds rolled in, and lightning flashed through the air. First, his muscles bulged, chest, legs, arms, neck, everything increased, veins pounding and pulsing as they handled the rush of what ever went through a transforming created a rough vacuum that tore at Goku as his hair rose up into clumps, sparks literally in the air as the air rotated into a whirling column, and with a final yell, the air around Goku imploded into an inferno. His green eyes flashed, his yellow-hair waved as his clothes rippled, and the swish of his aura made it seem like liquid fire. Goku filled his audiences eyes, letting out a breath.

"This is a Super Saiyan." Goku stated. His playfulness was gone, replaced by the serious nature of this form. The Androids stayed their ground, analyzing this new threat, their sensors did not carry data from Namek. "Ah, this is new to you. Then allow me to introduce you to my favorite technique..." Goku grit his teeth, kicking up the field around him into a flurry while putting his hands together. His eyebrows knit as he turned slightly to his left, and drew his hands to his hip.

"Ka-Meh-Ha-Me-Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!" and the beam erupted out with the vengeance that filled its maker's heart.
