Chapter 3:

Last time on Dragon Ball Z! We last saw our heroes preparing to face the newest threat to planet Earth. Lord Gorki is preparing to bring terror to the planet while Goku continues his training on King Kai's planet.

King Kai: "Goku what wrong? You haven't said anything all day and you haven't even touched your noodles….I know it's not like you to not be hungry."

Goku: "Huh?...Oh I'm sorry King Kai. I just can't shake this bad feeling that I have in my stomach."

King Kai: "I'm sure its nothing…probably just gas from all the food you eat."

Goku: "Hehe yea you're probably right King Kai…I just need to relax and take it easy for awhile."

[Meanwhile back on Earth…..The battle is beginning to reach new heights as Piccolo and Gorki continue their battle.]

Gorki: "Do you really think you have what it takes to stand up to me?"

Piccolo: "I don't know….but I can damn sure try"

Gorki: "Hahaha! Your power level is barely any higher than the bald one's laying face down in the dirt over there. What makes you think you've got what it takes?"

[At that moment a smirk spreads across Piccolo's face]

Gorki: "Hmmm smiling in the face of your impending doom….I don't know if that bravery or just pure stupidity."

Piccolo: "I'm smiling because you must not know."

Gorki: "Know what?"

Piccolo: "We learned to conceal our power levels along time ago."

Gorki: "Wh….What?!"

[At that moment Piccolo removes his weighted armor and begins to charge his Ki to new levels]

Piccolo: "HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"

[Piccolo then finishes powering up and the real battle is ready to commence!]

Gorki: "I must admit your power levels have risen significantly from before. But it is no matter because you are still no match for Lord Gorki!"

Piccolo: "Well then let's prove you right."

[The battle commences….It rages on for some with both fighters matching each other blow for blow and move for move. The fighting continues until Gorki just suddenly stops.]

Piccolo: "What's wrong? Give up already?"

Gorki: "No my dear namekian….we've only just begun."

Piccolo's face then turns from one of confidence to one of fear in the blink of an eye. What could the evil Lord Gorki possibly have in store for our heroes? Is he hiding something that will turn the tides of the fight? Or is he simply calling a bluff to lower Piccolo's guard? All these questions and more will be answered in the next installment of Dragon Ball Z!
