Chemistry-Deaf: Half way done with the Finals.

Seven stones fell to the ground in front of Piccolo in his young form. "There, they're nothing but stones now." Piccolo laughed. "And, the dragon is dead. My enemies are vanquished! No one will ever challenge me again!" Piccolo couldn't contain his excitement. His wish had been granted! "This is perfect! I have been reborn! I feel invincible!" Farther up from where Piccolo was laughing, Saxophone walked out. Triclops had finally succumbed to whatever that made him paralyzed. Piccolo was too busy laughing and reeling in his restored power to care what Saxophone was doing.

The airship headed another direction as everyone pilled in. Piccolo was practically gloating. Saxophone was next to him unable to meditate with Piccolo telling his objectives to anyone willing to listen. Instead, he had Mai get him another glass of the purple liquid. The first one was dropped from his rush to save Diamao from being sealed.

"With my restored youth, this world is not out of my grasp! I will start at the King's castle! Full speed ahead!" Saxophone wondered how long his ears would ring from standing next to him.

"I don't think the direct approach is how we handle this..." Pilaf muttered. Piccolo heard it clearly and even with the disturbing rings in his ears, Saxophone heard it too.

"Do my tactics trouble you?"

Pilaf visibly gulped and his fear multiplied. "NO, OF COURSE NOT! Your tactics are great! It just-um, maybe we should get weapons?"

"What are you talking about?" Saxophone spoke up. "We are the weapons."

"Oh." It was obvious that Pilaf didn't believe him. "Well, no reason to hang around here any longer! We got a castle to conquer." Guess his fears were stronger than his disbelief. To Saxophone's relief, Piccolo was talking in a normal volume as the conversation wore on.

"I been hearing reports that the current king is nothing more than a bleeding heart peace-lover. Those are the most fun to play with. Gives me a change to prove my threats! With my vengeance, I will create a world in my own image. To do that, I must tear down what's standing in my way of rebuilding!" He would have laughed at the thought if Pilaf didn't have other plans.

"It's wonderful that His Majesty has great visions for his empire. I would like the honor of being the first to give His Majesty my sincere congratulations. As per our agreement, I would like to remind His Majesty that during the conquest of the world that I would get a piece of it. Even though we discussed this at the beginning, but with our recent success, I would like a renegotiation?"

"Well," Piccolo chuckled, "as you wish. Saxophone, go down to the operation room and take the wheel. Make sure the other guests get sent up here."

"I will, Diamao," Saxophone replied before taking the floating circle down. He could hear Pilaf give a hoot of excitement. If he doesn't know how evil Piccolo could be, he will find out soon enough. Saxophone arrived to the cockpit and send off Mai and Shu. He then open the channel to hear the "negotiation".

"I am most grateful, sire," Pilaf said through the speakers.

This isn't going to end well. Saxophone thought.

"So, which part of the world may I inquire that is mine?"

"As much as you," Piccolo started and paused while Saxophone imagine the gleeful hopeful faces. He wondered when those faces become suspicious. "can carry on the way down."

"You have quite the humor, Sire! I'm sure you're only kidding. I mean, what do you mean on the way down?"

"Isn't it obvious? We are having a falling out. You've been released."

"Your Majesty, I object! This is a terrible misunderstanding! Don't you remember that I was the one that got you out of that jar! I'm your savior!"

"You're nothing but a florist clown surrounded by amateurs! Beat it!"

"No please sire, don't do this!"

"Quit sniveling! You're the one who wants to renegotiate! Or would you rather death?"

Saxophone couldn't hear the hatch open, but he did hear the screams fade. Then he turn it off.

It was barely five minutes when his Diamao contacted him by mind link, Get up here. Jolted surprised from the monotone of driving the giant airship and his musings, he turn on the autopilot. As he went over to his Diamao, he grabbed a drink.

A/N: Going home on Thurs. If anybody is wondering, King Piccolo was shown having red eyes (the anime made it black). In fact, in this story, all of Piccolo descendant have red eyes regardless if they're good or evil, but they do change in how dark or light the red is based on moods.
