Piccolo stood on top of a mountain overlooking a forest. Piccolo was very green, bald & tall with a solid facial structure (lacking the large cheek bones and a humanly-shaped nose). Piccolo's outfit was a dark purplish blue gi and his obi was light pale blue, and he wore a white turban and an extremely weighted cape along with it when not fighting seriously. The warrior stood staring into the distance but not looking at anything. Piccolo was reliving his match at the 23rd World Martial Arts Tournament. The anger from his defeat was still fresh in his mind as if his lose was that same day instead of yrs. ago. As a warrior he felt as thou he had no peer, but Goku was able to not only topple him but in a moment where the great Piccolo was weakened his enemy showed him mercy & compassion. Such concepts were foreign to him & in these past 5 years he still had no real understanding of Goku's actions. The hate & anger was so great that Piccolo didn't even notice that 4 enemies had approached until they were nearly on top of him.
The first one to reach him was much taller than him & his forearm was stuck out to crush Piccolo's head with a Lariat. Piccolo rolled with the blow instead of fighting it & only took minimal damage. As he picked his head up Piccolo saw two figures running towards him at top speed. Piccolo fired a ki blast but the figures dodged it then disappeared behind two rock formations. Piccolo's advanced senses picked up that his first opponent was charging from behind & he turned to meet his foe head on. That was all that a 4th opponent who Piccolo never even sensed needed to fire a massive energy blast that struck him in the back. The blast knocked Piccolo into the air & his first opponent increased the speed of his charge & with a swinging double axe handle knocked Piccolo up in the air. This left Piccolo vulnerable to twin energy blasts from the two figures that had disappeared earlier. Piccolo struggled to pick himself off the ground ready for another altercation but before he could he found himself staring up at a Combined Full Power Energy Ball, the attack left a crater that none could see the bottom of. Just in case Piccolo was able to survive the group fired one last ki barrage down into the pit they had created. With satisfied smiles on their faces they left doubting that even the great Piccolo could survive such an onslaught.
In the woods sat a dome house far away from any of the cities or bright lights. In the house lived a small peaceful family named the Sons. At that time the four year old Gohan was outside playing in the yard while his mother Chi-Chi was taking in the last load of laundry. Chi-Chi's primary clothing was a purple dress that has an orange cloth tied on the top and a yellow sash. Chi-Chi's hair was tied in a bun but she still had her hair coming down on the sides. Gohan had black hair and black eyes; he also has his mother's light peach complexion, rather than his father's light tan. Gohan also is quite muscularly developed for his age. He wore a child's outfit with his family name, 'Son' written on the front, and his hat has the Four-Star Dragon Ball attached to it, the same Dragon Ball in which Goku believed that his grandpa's spirit resided. Gohan's father Goku was tasked with bringing home diner for the night from the river. Goku spent his entire life living in the woods and loved to spend his free time either training outside or hunting. Goku decided that dinner tonight would be fish because it gave him a chance to swim & get dinner all in one activity.
Goku was fairly tall & muscular with spiky black hair and his trademark orange/red/golden and blue clothes. Goku remembered how as a kid he would use his tail for bait then get the fishes as they tried to bite him, but now that his tail was gone Goku used the more direct method of stripping down & diving in. Thou it was cold Goku enjoyed playing with the fishes until he found a few big enough to feed him & his family. As Goku swam Gohan was chasing a butterfly around the yard. The boy made sure to stay close to the house since he knew that if he strayed too far his mother would panic. She had the habit of always worrying about everything so Gohan did what his father was incapable of doing & he played it safe for his mother's sake. Even though Gohan was only four he was very intelligent & his mother began homeschooling him as soon as she realized he could talk. Over the valley came a hover car that was leaning to the driver's side so much Gohan thought it would tip over. In the car sat Chi-Chi's father the Ox King. Ox King was quite large, and had a lot of facial hair. Ox King was the king of Fire Mountain & after wreaking havoc for years he was convinced by a very young Goku & Master Roshi to become a peaceful king & has since been one of the greatest kings in Fire Mountain history. Ox King stepped out of the car with a cheerful yell. Both Gohan & Chi-Chi began to walk toward the giant man but stopped short when his smile turned into a look of pure pain. Behind him stood a being with a skull-like nose which gave him the appearance of a vampire bat. He had dark olive skin and red eyes, and was wearing a large dark cloak. On Ox King's back was a burn mark from the energy blast the figure fired. Gohan immediately went into a panic yelling & running towards his mother. Chi-Chi told Gohan to head for the door while she took off her apron to fight. She knew that there was no way she could win but she would die before she let anyone harm her family. Chi-Chi prepared to go on the offensive, but stopped short when she heard Gohan scream her name louder.
