Chapter 19

Me: "So, you really think you can take me on? You do realize I am surpressing my power and it still dwarfs yours many fold right?"

Piccolo: "I don't care how strong you are, I haven't had a good fight in a long time and need to let loose"

Me: "Didn't you fight frieza earlier today? Or did you just sit back and watch him murder your friends? That's kinda cold of you"

Piccolo deadpans at me and flushes purple in embarrassment at being caught lacking and charges at me while powering up to his maximum in an instant. His current power of 1.5 million however does not stand a change against my true strength, but to show respect to one of my favourite hero in the show, I allowed him time to show off his skills before I beat him, so I matched his power exactly and as he came in with a overhand right, followed by a left hand uppercut and ending with a right legged axe kick, I calmed my mind and pushed his fist to the side, leaned back and avoided his uppercut and as his leg came down for the axe kick, I caught his leg and pushed it back up which forced him to fly in order to not fall on his ass.

This fight would be one unlike any other I have fought before, Piccolo in a fighting genius unrivalled by most of the known multiverse, and I knew he was analyzing every move I made on a level most are not capable of doing, so I knew I had to keep my cards close to my chest if I wanted to win. Each exchange like the one we just had was a silent conversation only we could understand.

Piccolo at this point had slid back through the air to gain some distance to evaluate me before hardening his gaze he laid upon me and rushing once more. He started his assault on me by extending his arms just as he got to me, thinking he would get passed my guard, however, I knew he could do that, and I could as well, so when his first sweeping hook came my way, I ducked under it and kicked his other are that came rushing for the position my face is now occupying in my new position into the air before it would reach me and charged a ki orb in my hand before stretching my hand towards his exposed midsection and let it explode in a big blue explosion of energy.

I shrink my arm back to normal size and wait for the dust to clear, only to find he is not there, and before I had time to react he appeared behind me and kicked me in the back of the neck with a spinning back kick before appearing in front of me, clothes ripped in multiple places and seriously pissed off. He grabs me by my shirt and throws me on the ground and fires a beam into the ground where I lay in, a crater having formed from the power behind my landing.

He fired many blasts where he left me, however, taking a page from his book I vanish from my spot after having recovered a bit and appear behind him. He however seems to have expected that, and turns around with an explosive demon wave forming in his hand. I don't give him a chance to use it though as I appear behind him again with an after image and ram my elbow into his spine, which cracks under the pressure of my attack.

Piccolo is sent flying, but he stops mid air and rights himself before coughing up blood and breathing a bit heavier. He wipes the blood off his mouth and lets out a laugh and says.

Poccolo: "Impressive, I figured you'd be a skill-less idiot that has too much power for their own food like frieza, seems I was wrong about you. But I am done holding back, and if you know what's good for you, you will stop holding back too"

Me: "What do you mean? We both know you are at your max, I can feel your power wavering as it is, it can't go any higher as you are"

Piccolo only smiles before charging me once again. I go to meet him once again and he leans back in mid air to land a flying kick, I wonder why he would make such an obvious form of attack before I hear him say something I never thought he would say.

Piccolo: "KAIOKEN!"

Me: "Wha-"

I never got to finish as he ends up speeding up to a far greater speed and kicks me square in the face so hard it felt like my gear was going to pop right off my shoulders, which while not lethal, is definitely not something I want to experience as I don't think my human mind could handle it. In a flash I find myself smashing into the ground carving a mile long trench into the earth with my body. I lay there in a daze when a yellow and purple light begins to approach me and I scream in pain as a special beam cannon pierces my right shoulder and carves out a majority of it, leaving only a few strings of flesh holding it to my torso.

In shock I am fully alert once more and jump out of the hole and land on the ground outside the trench my body left barely avoid the knife hand slash piccolo carves into the ground where my left shoulder used to be. Thankfully for me he seems to be done as his aura returns to it's normal colour and all the red light vanishes and it is clear he is very fatigued judging by him hunching over and breathing coming out harshly and his green muscles spawning. It seems he has no control over the technique yet.

Seeing this as my opportunity I fill my only functional arm with ki and cut off the wounded arm before yelling aloud and growing a new one to replace it. I then power up a bit, easily doubling, then tripling my power before I settle at a power of 5 million. As fun as this has been, Piccolo was even more unpredictable than I thought, it seems that the timeline has changed once again with my being here, first goku being stronger at the 23rd world martial arts tournament and now Piccolo knowing the Kaioken when no one should have taught it to him.

Piccolo, having sensed my new level of power and likely my intentions stands up straight, and strains himself and pushed himself further, yelling out.

Piccolo: "KAIOKEN TIMES TWO!"

His power shoots up to double what it was before, however with his fatigue it only goes as high as 2.5 million, which is only half of my current strength. So, while it is impressive, as he rushes towards me, it is very slow to me, so when he closes in on me and vanishes behind me at the last second and goes to strike me, I put up a Ki shield similar to what broly does in the 8th z movie and his strike fails to do any damage to it.

As he is caught off guard by how little his attack does, I flash in front of him and knee him in the abdomen, then place my hand on his left shoulder and swing in front of him and push my energy through my feet to maximize my momentum in flight as I slam my knee into his face.

This results in him landing face first in the ground and bouncing off of it like a bouncy ball. As he rises off the ground, I fall towards the ground vertically and grab his shoulders with my feet before spinning him mid air. Landing in a hand stand, I flip over him spinning in the opposite direction and slam my elbow directly into his ribs, instantly crushing his rib cage on the right side.

This was the last straw, between the beat down from me and from the strain of the Kaioken, he was unable to hold the technique and the aura disappears.

Landing on the ground a dozen metres from where he landed, I watch over him as he lays there for a few minutes before I say.

Me: "I think that is enough, you seem to be at your limit, why don't we do this another time? I'd love to fight you aga-"

Piccolo: "KAIOKEN TIMES THREE!"

Before I could even finish my sentence he springs up and his power raises to 3 million in an instant before he springs up and grows in height to 10 feet tall like he did against Garlic Jr, and stretches his arm out and grabs my mostly ruined clothes and pushes all the energy he has into his hand and this causes it to go beyond the limits of what his body can handle and it causes all the cells in his hand and forearm to combust, which causes an explosion from the combined energy of his growth power up, his life energy from the dying cells as well as the Kaioken which bathes the horizon in red light.

When the light dies down there is a mushroom cloud that goes up miles above the blast zone. The once beautiful forest is mostly destroyed and scorched or covered in ashes. After a few minutes it is revealed what happened to the two combatants. I am still standing, if only barely, having been burnt all over the front side of my body with skin being burnt off in patches. There is a large charred hole where my collar bone and pectoral muscles used to be on the right side of my chest. The muscles on the left side are gone and the skin on the right side of my face was melted and the inside of my mouth was visible. Piccolo is face first in the dirt, no longer able to stand and barely able to stay awake, having truly spent every drop of energy he had, but with no lethal injuries he won't be able to live and heal from in a couple hours.

I was in a daze, having taken more damage that I ever had before, it took a few moments but I managed to use my restoration magic to heal most of the damage I could before I ran out of magic before using my natural regeneration to heal the remaining damage.

By the time I was done I sat down, shoulders sagging in mental and physical fatigue, the ghost pain from my previous injuries still remaining for the moment. I sat and waiting for my magicka to regenerate and after nearly 20 minutes I saw piccolo had regained enough energy to sit back up and we shared a silent moment together before he lets out a chuckle and says weakly.

Piccolo: "Seems that despite my best efforts I lost huh, well at least I made you take me seriously and I still almost won"

I smile and let out a chuckle before saying.

Me: "Actually, I am sorry to tell you but that wasn't even 5% of my maximum, I was trying to beat you with skill only, but it seems I am not quite on your level in that department at the moment"

Shocked, piccolo stares at me bug eyed for a moment and I decide it is time to heal him now and stand up shakily and walk over to him. I extend my hands and begin using healing hands on him, which sets his ribs and fuses them back together. I stand up and say.

Me: "We should do this again, but maybe without the kamikaze attacks, m'kay? Also, before I go, do you want me to use the ability Guru taught me to awaken your hidden powers? From what I can feel, he already used it on the kid you are fond of"

Piccolo: "Sure, If it allows me to reach Goku again and it is my own power I already have I am getting access to, who am I to turn it down"

I smirk and nod in agreement and walk up to him and place my hand on his head and focus. I reach out with my mind and find myself in a place outside of this world, in a place between space and time where the place is completely empty and dark besides a long string of energy and two balls of energy. I approach the the string of energy and notice is tangled and is not connected to either ball of energy.

I examine both and notice two things. One is that one is golden and is magnitudes bigger than the other, which is a white one, and the second is that the smaller energy ball looks like the same white colour as the piccolo's energy when he activates his aura. Assuming that the smaller white one is his normal power, I connect the one end of the string to his white power which caused the string to glow white, before spending what felt like a few minutes untangling it before plugging in the other end in the golden power.

I sat there for a couple minutes expecting something to happen but no golden energy flowed into the string, so I placed my hand on the golden orb before focusing on it and nudging it and after a particularly harsh tug I felt some power leave the orb, I then repeated this more and more and harder before I used all my willpower to pull on this power and a one percent of it emptied into the white orb and it grew to many times it previous size.

Feeling like my job was done, I began to retreat from this place and return to my body, where I opened my eyes to see Piccolo's aura explode around him and his power went up nearly 15 times it's previous level, which likely turned the heads of everyone on the planet that could sense energy.

Me: 'Scouter'

!Scouter Activated!

!Piccolo power level: 22 million!

I let out a whistle, impressed by his strength increase, which will increase even further at he gets used to it, just like it did for Krillin and Gohan. Piccolo also seems amazed by his growth and flexes his hands and smirks.

Piccolo: "So this was inside me this entire time and I hadn't had access to it until now"

Me: "Crazy thing is it seems like Guru's technique is an incomplete one as your sleeping power will only grow as you gain strength and I could only pull out a tiny amount of it. You are far from your peak, maybe when I grow more used to using this ability I can pull out more, but I am not so sure, knowing how to do it without experience makes things like this rather complicated"

This only seems to excite him more, however I was exhausted and wanted to just go to bed, but figured I'd give Piccolo a goal to reach besides goku, so before I go, I say.

Me: "You have the same potential to grow as I do, as we are both super Namekians by Guru's standards, so here is a fast, of what you need to be striving for!"

With that, I reach deep inside myself and pull out every ounce of power I have without using The Odinforce, screaming a dead primal roar that shakes the lands, the ground quakes for miles around and I push further and further beyond what I can control with my Ki control. The bright daylight sky is darkened with my dark blue coloured aura. When I reach my peak I take a deep breath and the light simmers down to a slight glow, with the eyes of the dragons on my exposed shoulders being all that glows in the aftermath.

Looking at Piccolo, his face is pale and nervous sweat can be seen running down his face, however he shows no other outward sign of how he feels in his body language.

Me: "I wonder how I would have compared to Frieza, I had been planning on going after him in the next couple of weeks after stopping on earth to catch up with the events happening here and to upgrade some of my equipment"

Piccolo: "How are you this strong?! You would have destroyed him, I'm not even sure of Goku is strong enough to fight you"

I Laugh and shrug, though I am curious how strong I had grown, as there wasn't really anything else on my adventure that really challenged me to use my real power after the ritual was performed on me way back then.

Me: 'Status'

!Status!

!Zanfona: level 28! : 7000/13000!

HP: 250 STAM: 220 Magicka: 190

S: 9140

P: 9608

E: 9495

C: 4283

A: 9741

L: 4000

!Unused stat points: 630!

!Final Power Level: 275 million!

I was slightly annoyed that my training these last three years hadn't been as effective as I thought, but I was still stronger than the super saiyans will be by the time Gero shows up, so I guess it was fine as I had 4 years to make it to a higher level of power, which was plenty of time with my next plans to train.

I walk away from piccolo and og night my aura, only saying a few parting words before I fly off.

Me: "It was nice fighting you, come find me next time you want to try your luck again, I'll be waiting for when you do"

A few minutes later:

After I see my home, I land and see Aura in front of the home, munching on a large elk he caught while I was gone. I also notice a Jurassicosaurus at the edge of the tree line, eyeing Aura and his meal hungrily. It also seems to be the same one as I once fought long ago to farm xp. I am not worried however as it is still far weaker than my buddy, like it used to be back then. I walk up to Aura and pat him on the head and pull out a soft brush to scratch him behind his ear holes. Which causes him to lean into it and close his eyes in contentment. I leave my cute crocodile boy to enjoy his meal and walk into my home.

Once I arrive inside I walk further in, moving the cloth barrier from my path with a movement of my hand and sit in my meditation spot with my tree and begin to meditate and cultivate my power in and out of it to purify and strengthen it, allowing more Ki control and my Ki to grow.

I spend the remainder of the day thinking about what I will do next and how I will ensure I stay at the top of the food chain.

Annnd that's another chapter done! Sorry it took so long to upload another one guys, I have had a lot of complications happen lately, as well as wanting to give piccolo justice and make it last long and keep it interesting, it is hard to make the original stuff as interesting as the original shows fights are.

Please feel free to let me know how I did, and advice is more than welcome, I hope you guys Anjou and have a wonderful day! I am working on the next chapter already and I am going to be doing a fine skip with a recap vs actual story in between where I want to start this chapter.
