Dragon Ball/Z/GT Fan Fiction ❯ Dragon Ball New Generation ❯ Raise Up ( Chapter 17 )

Chapter Sixteen - Raise Up

"Isn't that fantastic news?" Dende laughed, "Supreme Kai never ceases to amaze me. If he and the elder Kai can raise their power levels, maybe they can stand a chance against Ii."
Shin Piccolo walked to the side of the Lookout, staring down onto the Earth. It was good. He was happy, yet he was still troubled. He heard the conversation between Dende and Kaioshin about his plans, but he also agreed with what young Vegeta Jr said. It was leaving Earth undefended. Yeah, Linni, Pastri and Hazell were present, but they are no match for Ii if he shows up. He even knew that he couldn't stand a chance. Mr Popo walked up to the two, holding a watering can.
"I feel I agree with Piccolo Dende. It does put us at risk."
"But we will have to take that risk Popo. They are our only hope."
"Then let me train in the room of time and spirit." Piccolo said to the two, "If Gokou and the others are training, let me too. I maybe be the only chance if Ii does turn up!"
Popo and Dende agreed with this, but they had never let Piccolo into the room of time and spirit. They had only told him what the room was. The two led Piccolo to the door.
"Remember Piccolo, if you want to come out, do so. But don't stay in their for more than a day."
"For me its a full year right?"
"Yes," Popo said as he opened the door, "Good luck!"

Ii-Shenron was flying around space. He was looking for the young fighters without any luck. He couldn't trace any energy patterns. Ii had destroyed civilizations trying to find them, so it stops them hiding on the planet in future.
"Where are those darn kids?"

On the Supreme Kai planet, each of the boys were undertaking extensive training. There were two rip dimensions on the planet, which Nion was in and G entered the other. Nion only stayed in for a while, and came outside so Vegeta could enter. Gokou was training outside, while Kaioshin agreed to teach Nion some new moves. Gokun was undertaking training under elder Kai, which he took pretty well. He sat still concentrating as Old Kai performed the ritual. The same one he used on Gohan many years ago.

Kaioshin was exchanging some punches, while Nion was maneuvering them. She wasn't very fast, and got hit twice. Her arm was hurting her, and Kaioshin told her that she might have to stop.
"I can keep going. I want to help too!"
To the man's amazement, the little girl stood up and took her position again. Kaioshin began kicking her, and she moved around better before she was able to land a successful punch into the Kai's stomach. He was surprised, yet remembering he wasn't trying either.
Gokou sat down to relax a bit. He had been training four hours straight. He had never done that before, and he knew his grandmother would be proud of him. But he had to train. He had to protect his family. Gokou relaxed his body and mind before emerging himself into a deep meditation.

On Earth, Bobulla and Pan were listening to the distressing news from the three girls.
"Ii-Shenron?" Pan said shockingly, "How could he still be alive?"
"We don't know." Pastri said, "But Grandma, didn't you tell me and Gokou about Ii before?"
The others looked at Pan in stunning amazement.
"Is that true?" Bobulla asked.
"Yes, but he was defeated years ago by my grandfather Gokou. So how could he return again?"
The girls all wondered.
"But what about the boys? and Nion?" Bobulla asked desperately.
"We don't know."
There was a minute silence before they heard a voice. It was Dende. He explained to them the situation, and where the boys and Nion were. They were happy about the news, till Dende mentioned that it left Earth opened for attack.
"Then we'll have to protect Earth till they get back." Hazell said.
The two girls agreed. Dende continued, telling them that Piccolo was still on Earth, training on the Lookout. He can help them. When they mentioned the problem about time of training, Dende told them about the Room of Time and Spirit. The girls were pretty surprised a room such as that even existed.
"Will our power and Piccolo's be enough?" Linni asked.
"I know!" Hazell exclaimed, "My ancestor can help. She's plenty strong! She'll love to help."

And that was that. Hazell flew home to tell her ancestor the news, before going to the Lookout to train. Linni and Pastri headed there first, and trained outside while they waited for Piccolo to exit the room. Bobulla and Pan remained at Capsule Corporation.

***

In the centre of Satan City, Hazell was at home. The home was a large mansion surrounded by beautiful gardens. Hazell stood before her ancestor who was drinking some expensive wine.
"Come on. We need your help. I need your help!" Hazell whined.
The woman held her cup, swirling the liquid side to side. She was thinking.
"The enemy is strong, and we can't do it on our own." Hazell continued.
The woman placed her cup down onto a nearby table and stood up. She flicked her hair aside, and walked to a large window. It was a nice view of the city.
"Its a crazy idea fighting Ii-Shenron Hazell. I remember the last time he was around. It wasn't pretty. Kuririn died around that time...against your part uncle."
"Yeah I know. You told me before. Better reason why you have to help us. You stood up to him!"
"I know that. Okay then, I will. Lets head to that Room you told me about. I haven't seen that Look Out for quite a long time."
Hazell giggled, as both of them walked off.
"You know Hazell, you're lucky I'm alive."
"I know."

***

Pastri and Linni were having a quick meal before resuming training when Hazell descended from the sky, followed by her ancestor.
"Its about time you're here." Linni joked.
Dende and Popo came outside, and were shocked at the sight.
Hazell smiled and willingly introduced her ancestor to her friends. Linni smiled, and Pastri waved. Before she was introduced to Dende and Popo, the Namek cried:
"Android 18!"
Sure enough it was. The android smiled. She remembered their faces. Hazell was surprised.
"Hey, they know you're name before I introduced you."
"They know who I am, and I know them."
"Really?"
Dende walked forward and looked at the woman. She looked exactly the same, The only difference was the hair style.
"You still are..um..." Dende muttered.
"Alive?" 18 finished for him.
"Yes."
"I'm half mechanical. Because Gero did that to me, I don't age and don't die naturally like humans."
Linni and Pastri were wowed. Hazell just smiled.
"I'm here to train too. Hazell told me the situation." 18 told them.
Popo pointed to the room of time and spirit.
"Piccolo is still inside. He will be coming out in a few more hours."
"What? Did you say Piccolo?" 18 asked.
"Yes, but its not the same Piccolo 18. It's his offspring."
"Are you for real?"
"Long story." Dende laughed.

For the next few days, they all trained for long hours. After Piccolo exited, he was amazed to see the girls present. He had become much more powerful than before. Linni then entered the room with Pastri because 18 and Hazell were going in together. 18 was Hazell's trainer.
"The more help the better." Piccolo laughed.
Dende and Popo couldn't believe how much the Namek had aged. He was beginning to look like his father.
"But what about Vegeta said? I still don't think it we will be enough against Ii."
"I understand Piccolo, but we don't know anyone else. Besides us, their are only normal humans who can only scream when something attacks them." Dende told him. He was never that blunt, but Piccolo had mentioned the problem so many times, he was starting to grow tired of it. That was unusual for him.
"That's crazy talk. There have to be others. We just have to find them." Piccolo said. He paced back and forth before a thought over took his mind. It made him brighten in delight. Piccolo powered up and flew off.
"Where are you off too?" 18 called.
"Some business."
And with that, Piccolo was gone.
