Piccolo and Ocarin arrived at the Kame house to find the Spice boys surrounding Krillin and Gohan, along with their friends who were affected by the mist. Bulma, Yamcha, Roshi, Puar, Oolong and Chichi, all had an evil gleam in their eyes and malicious smirks as they slowly began to inch closer and closer towards Gohan and Krillin. There was another woman with them, with long light blue hair, wearing a tight bathing suit cowering behind Krillin. Piccolo fired an energy blast in front of the group, stopping them in their tracks. They looked up to see him on the roof. "Piccolo!" Gohan shouted, smiling. Ocarin landed down beside Krillin and Gohan.

"Yes! Piccolo! Ocarin!" Krillin shouted as well. The four henchmen jumped onto the roof as well.

"This will be fun!" One of the spice boys chuckled darkly.

"Fun? You slither out of the darkness, waiting to capitalize on people's weaknesses. And you call that fun?" Piccolo asked, glaring at them.

"Garlic Jr.'s can destroy you anytime, Piccolo! He has Kami held captive; you fool!" Mustard chuckled, evilly.

"Oh, great." Piccolo scowled.

"Admit it, you always had a fascination with the dark side, Piccolo. Why don't you join us and serve Garlic Jr while you still can? He's about to take over the planet." Spice told him. Piccolo scoffed.

"Yeah, right. Don't make me laugh. Come on, how can someone stupid enough to get caught in his own trap take over a planet."

"Watch your mouth!" Vinegar shouted.

"You're going to wish you've never said that lizard boy!" Salt growled at Piccolo as well.

"Gohan, we're going to have to move in fast!" Krillin told him. Gohan nodded. Krillin's girlfriend, Maron, clinging to him.

"Are you nuts!? You can't leave me here by myself! You're supposed to protect me from danger, Krillin!" She cried out. Ocarin stared at the two before looking at Krillin.

"Who's she?"

"Ocarin, this is Maron. She's my girlfriend. Maron this is Ocarin. She's one of my friends!" Krillin said, introducing them. Ocarin blinked for a moment.

"She's your girlfriend? I'm so sorry." Ocarin told him.

"Oh, it's nothing. Don't worry about it!" Maron smiled at her.

"I wasn't talking to you!" Ocarin snapped at her. This woman is already getting on her nerves.

"You're lucky that lord Garlic have orders us to take the both of you in alive! I'd finish you off, right now!" Vinegar shouted.

"How did your boss escape the dead zone?" Piccolo questioned them.

"Settle down, Vinegar, he's just trying to get you riled up. I'll answer your question, Piccolo, if you really want to know. The power of the Makyo Star." Spice explained to Piccolo. Piccolo frowned.

"What?" Spice smirked and continued.

"Now I have your attention. Not long ago the Makyo Star's close proximity to Earth provided an incredible source of power to all creatures of the night. This rare alignment of the planets and stars occurs only once every 12,000 years. At no other time is man more susceptible to evil than this. It is a time when the powers of darkness are at their zenith and the unseen lower forces dominate the Earth. Garlic Jr. used the dark energy to shatter his prison." He laughed. "You don't get it, do you? Garlic Jr. is the new guardian of the Earth. He's taken over Kami's Lookout and is sitting quite comfortably on the throne. Kami and Popo are just mantle pieces now, looking on hopelessly from their little glass jars!" Piccolo glared at him, along with Gohan, Krillin and Ocarin. "The pitiful part about it all, is that with the Black Water Mist, we've hardly had to lift a finger. Just look how eager your friends are to help us. We're gods to these plebeians."

"We're like celebrities to all of these people!" Mustard shouted.

"You should join us! You would love it! They worship us and soon they're going to be like that for good!" Salt said.

"What do you mean?" Piccolo asked.

"Once 24 hours passes by the change becomes permanent! Not even the sacred water can change them back!" Spice smirked.

"You came here looking to fight us, but the battle's already been won. There's no one left to fight for. Nobody want's your help. Can't you understand that? Just look at your friends. Do they really look like they need to be rescued? Who do you think you're fooling? You haven't really changed. So, drop the goody two shoes act and join us or oppose us and suffer like you've never been suffered before, your choice." Piccolo fired an energy blast at one of the spice boys and they quickly deflected it.

"Why you little!-"

"So that's your choice?" Spice asked.

"I've had enough of this jerk!" Gohan shouted.

"We'll see." Piccolo flew up into the air and Yamcha chased after him and started to clash against Piccolo.

"Yamcha, stop it!" Gohan shouted. "Stop fighting!" He quickly flew in front of Piccolo and Yamcha, trying to stop them.

"Piccolo, please! Don't!" Gohan shouted. Piccolo pushed him away.

"Move it!" He quickly fired an energy blast, hitting Yamcha, and he fell landing on the sandy beach.

"Tell me what to do!" Gohan shouted at him.

"Alright, you take off and bring Ocarin with you, now! Got it!?" Piccolo told him. "The whole planet has been infected just like Yamcha and your mom! You need to get the sacred water!" Gohan stared at him unsure, not wanting to leave him alone with the others.

"But what about you-"

"He knows what he's doing, Gohan!" Krillin shouted and flew off, heading to the Lookout.

"Leave! Get the water but be careful. Garlic Jr. is going to be up there guarding it!" Piccolo shouted as he fought against the spice boys as well as the others.

"We'll be back!" Gohan told him.

"You better meet us up there!" Ocarin shouted. Gohan and her flew off, while Piccolo continued to fight with the others to buy them some time to get away.

"The Yamcha I know would tear you apart." Piccolo smirked. Yamcha lunged at him and Piccolo threw Yamcha over his shoulder. Yamcha flopped on the ground, unconscious. Bulma, Chichi, Roshi, Puar and Oolong began to slowly approach Piccolo. "I'm sorry but you leave me no choice. I'm going to have to exterminate you all. I hate to do this. It's not your fault." Before Piccolo could fire, hands shot up from the ground underneath Piccolo and grabbed his ankles, holding him in place. "What!?" Chichi, Bulma, and Roshi all jumped on him and bit down on Piccolo's neck. Piccolo screamed out in pain.

"Piccolo!" Gohan screamed.

"Oh no!" Ocarin cried out, seeing what happened as well. Gohan was about to fly back to help him, but Piccolo stopped him.

"Gohan, no!" Piccolo shouted. "Do as I say NOW!"

"I won't leave you, Piccolo!" Gohan cried.

"Gohan! Now!" Ocarin flew over to Gohan, grabbing his hand.

"We need to go!" She said, urgently. Gohan stared at Piccolo one last time before turning to Ocarin and nodded.

"Right!" The two quickly flew off and Piccolo was quickly overwhelmed as the infected group pinned him down. The Spice boys smirked as they saw him fall to the ground, unconscious.


Gohan, Krillin and Ocarin quickly flew as they headed to the Lookout.

"Krillin!" Krillin's girlfriend shouted as she flew next to the three, riding on Icarus, Gohan's pet dragon. "Wait up! I'm coming with you!"

"Oh no you're not! Maron, this is serious! You'd be in real danger!" Krillin told her.

"So what? I don't care. I'm still coming!" She argued.

"She's really starting to get on my nerves. Let's just ditch her at Korin and Yajirobe tower. She'll be safer there." Ocarin whispered to Krillin. Krillin nodded. The group finally arrived at the small tower below the Lookout. Gohan, Krillin and Ocarin looked inside to find it surprisingly empty as well as quiet.

"What do you think?" Gohan asked.

"If Korin got a whiff of that mist this is the last place that I wouldn't be." Ocarin said.

"Let's move in slow. Ready?" Krillin said. The three of them slowly stepped inside, quietly. Maron followed behind them, shivering.

"It's so cold and freezing! Can you guys get me-" Krillin quickly slammed his hand on her mouth telling his girlfriend to be quiet. Ocarin leaned over to him, whispering into Krillin's ear.

"Do you want me to knock her out? I'd be glad to. Just say the word."

"No!" Krillin hissed at her.

"There's nobody around! Why are we sneaking around!?" Maron asked. Suddenly, a short chubby man with long black hair, wearing a sleeveless red yukata that reached his knees, a sword was attached to his obi on his left side, black wrist and ankle bands and sandals, walked up the stairs and saw everyone inside the tower.

"Hey, guys. What's shaking?" Yajirobe said as he waved at them. Then a white cat with a staff came up as well and stood next to Yajirobe.

"What's going on?" Ocarin ran over to them happy to see that they weren't infected by the mist.

"Korin! Yajirobe! You both haven't been infected!"

"It's nice to see you two!" Gohan smiled in relief as well.

"It's nice to see you too but you woken me up from my nap." Korin replied.

"Aw! What a cute little cat!" Maron shouted as she was petting Korin's chin, who was purring and rubbing against her hand. He realized what he was doing and shook his head and pushed Maron away from him.

"That's enough! Who is this girl!?" He demanded.

"Maron..." Krillin smiled sheepishly.

"This is a holy place! Not a beach hang out!" Korin shouted at him.

"Maron is Krillin's new girlfriend." Gohan smiled.

"I don't believe it." Korin replied. Krillin smiled.

"Yes, sir." Korin shook his head.

"No, what I mean is, I don't believe it. Is she really your girlfriend?" Ocarin interrupted him.

"Listen, we don't have time for this! I'll just give you the short summary. Kami and Mr. Popo been captured. Garlic's Jr's back and he's released the Black Water Mist! We need to get to the sacred water before it's too late!" She cried out.

"Yowza! That's a lot! That's not going to be easy. Garlic Jr's not stupid. He'll be watching like a hawk. It's vital that you get there. Time is at the absolute essence of this endeavor-Hey, you're leaving already!?" He shouted at Ocarin, Krillin, and Gohan who were flying away heading up to the Lookout.

"Time is at the essence, Korin!" Gohan shouted.

"Look after Maron, will ya!?" Krillin shouted.

"Krillin! Get back here!" Maron screamed at him.

"This isn't fair! You guys can't do this to me!" Korin shouted at them as well. But they had already left.


Krillin, Gohan and Ocarin finally reached the top of the Lookout and peered over the edge.

"Look at how trashed this place is. Mr. Popo would have a heart attack if he saw this." Krillin said.

"I think he would have a stroke." Ocarin replied. They quietly walked further, still seeing no one around.

"It's creepy, isn't it?" Gohan asked.

"It's too quiet." Ocarin said, worried as well. Krillin nodded as well as Gohan.

"Yeah."

Then the three heard an evil cackle and Garlic Jr. stepped out from the building, standing in front of them.

"So, you don't like the new decor, eh? Well, what do you prefer, you little do good punks!" Garlic Jr. smirked as them. "You want the sacred water? Well, come and get it."

"Let's get him!" Gohan shouted.

"I've been waiting for you to say that!" Ocarin smiled and the three charged at Garlic Jr. But something lashed out from inside the building and flew at Ocarin and Gohan, knocking them back. Ocarin's eyes widened to see that it was Piccolo. He smirked and started to laugh darkly as he stared back at the three. He had an evil glare in his eyes like the infected.

"Piccolo, what are you doing?" She murmured, confused.

"Piccolo?" Gohan questioned as well. Krillin flew in the air, seeing Piccolo's strange behavior as well.

"Gohan! Ocarin! He's not normal. He's been infected by the mist!" Krillin warned them.

"Piccolo!" Ocarin shouted at him. Piccolo was about to charge at her but one of the spice boys held him back. Piccolo growled and struggled as he tried to break free.

"What took you three so long?" Garlic Jr. smirked, looking at Gohan, Ocarin and Krillin.

"We've been waiting for you! And so has he!" Vinegar smirked as well.

"What did you do to him!?" Gohan demanded.

"Your little friends took a bite out of him. If anyone who's been infected with the Black Water Mist bites someone, they turn into one of them!" Vinegar laughed.

"What do you think of Piccolo, now? He's all set to join Garlic Jr. He's one of us, kid, just like your mother is." Spice said. Gohan glared at him, clenching his fists.

"So, the Son of Goku has arrived. Gohan, isn't it? Listen here, my friend. I hope you don't mind; I have a question for you. I want to know where your father is." Garlic Jr. asked Gohan.

"My father?"

"Precisely. I must plan in order to carry out my revenge. Once that is accomplished then both you and he will pay double for your failed attempt to defeat me!"

"No!" Gohan shouted.

"Even though now I rule the Earth, that isn't good enough until I exact my revenge upon you two! Where is your father hiding?" Garlic Jr. asked again.

"My father would never hide from the likes of you and besides where he is, he doesn't even know your evil kind exist!" Gohan shouted.

"Where he is? What do you mean by that?" Garlic Jr. frowned.

"I'll never tell!" Gohan spatted out at him.

"Have it your way. Once Goku realizes that your here, it's only a matter of time before he shows up."

"I'm going to finish you off once and for all!" Ocarin shouted. She quickly rushed at Garlic Jr. Garlic Jr. smirked and pulled Kami out from under his robes.

"Ah ah ah, I wouldn't do that. Not unless you want to hurt Kami as well." Garlic Jr. smirked. Ocarin gritted her teeth and stopped instantly in her tracks. One of the spice boys quickly appeared in front of her and smacked Ocarin back to Gohan and Krillin. Salt and Mustard started to clash against Gohan and Krillin, bashing them around like a rag doll.

"Gohan! Krillin!" Ocarin shouted at them in worry.

"Can we play with them now!?" Vinegar shouted excitedly.

"Just a second." Garlic Jr. said to him and Spice. "You both may make sport of them until Goku shows up. However, the coup de gras is all mine so be careful not to go too far with them." Ocarin quickly went over to Krillin helping him with his opponent. She quickly blasted him with an energy blast followed by several more blasts and knocked him off the Lookout. Then she saw Gohan was struggling with his opponent and quickly turned to Krillin. "Rest up for a minute! I'm going to help Gohan!" Krillin made a tired smile, nodding, and Ocarin quickly went over to help Gohan. Garlic Jr. glared at her as he clenched Kami's bottle underneath his robes, gritting his teeth. He nodded to one of his henchmen that was holding Piccolo. They smirked and released him and Piccolo quickly charged at Ocarin and Gohan.

"Isn't this wonderful, Kami? I've always believed that revenge would be so sweet." Garlic Jr. smirked, glancing down at Kami who glared back. Ocarin was quickly punched in the face and was knocked away from Gohan.

"Piccolo?" Gohan stared up at him in shock. Garlic Jr. smirked.

"Yes, my pet! Destroy him! Then the entire universe will be under my command!" Ocarin quickly flew over to Gohan, just before Piccolo smacked him away. She caught Gohan in her arms and Piccolo was now coming for her. Ocarin quickly tossed Gohan and deflected one of his fists. Piccolo smirked and kneed her in the chest. Ocarin doubled over in pain, coughing. Piccolo pinned Ocarin as he wrapped his arms around her and she struggled to break free. He started to hold on tighter.

"Ocarin, listen me! I'm sorry for getting a little rough with you. But I need to be convincing to get closer to Garlic Jr. Play along." Ocarin's eyes widened in shock when she heard Piccolo's voice in her mind.

"What are you-!" Ocarin screamed as Piccolo bit down hard, burying his fangs deep into her neck.

"Oh no!" Krillin cried out. Garlic Jr. let out an evil laugh and he pulled Kami out to show him what was happening. "Kami, I have a surprise for you. I wouldn't want you to miss the moment Ocarin becomes part of my family." Kami's eyes widened in horror seeing his counterpart bite Ocarin. Ocarin limply fell to the ground and Piccolo started to fight against Gohan and Krillin.

"Piccolo, stop!" Gohan pleaded. Piccolo ignored him and started to beat him around as well as Krillin. Then he knocked Krillin away from Gohan, separating the two. Krillin got up only to see Ocarin staring down at him with a twisted smirk on her face. Gohan saw her grab Krillin and bit into his neck as well.

"Krillin, no!" He cried out. Piccolo slammed Gohan down and he crashed through the ground, landing inside of the Lookout into Garlic Jr. throne room. Gohan groaned as he weakly sat up and saw Piccolo, Krillin and Ocarin smirking down at him evilly and they slowly started to inch closer.

"Krillin, Ocarin, stop." Gohan said weakly. Piccolo picked Gohan up by his gi and raised his hand getting ready to use his claws to finish him off. But Garlic Jr. grabbed his hand, stopping Piccolo.

"Wait, I think I will finish him off after all." Garlic Jr. said, smirking down at Gohan.

"Oh, the pleasure's all yours." Piccolo smirked. Garlic Jr.'s eyes widen in confusion and Piccolo quickly reached in the tiny alien's robes and pulled out the bottles imprisoning Kami and Mr. Popo. He pushed Garlic Jr. away and tossed the bottles over to Ocarin. "Ocarin, catch!"

Ocarin quickly jumped up and caught Kami and Mr. Popo and popped open the bottles. Smoke emerged from the bottles and Ocarin tossed them into the air, freeing the guardian and genie.

"You'll pay for that!" Garlic Jr. growled, furiously.

"I don't think that's going to happen, Garlic breath." Piccolo said. He squeezed the bite marks on his neck getting some of the black water mist out and the holes slowly began to regenerate healing on its own until they disappeared.

"That was one heck of a plan, Piccolo. But Gohan here is pretty messed up." Krillin told Piccolo, holding Gohan in his arms, who was unconscious.

"He's fine, don't worry. Gohan can stand a lot worse than this." Piccolo told him.

"This isn't over yet! Mark my words!" Garlic Jr. shouted, angrily, glaring at the group.

"Looks like it's pretty over to me." Ocarin smirked.
