Chapter 19 - Power of a Namek

Ii Shenron was having the time of his life. He had to make the Saiya-jin children appear. Ii was losing his patience and was going berserk blowing up cities and islands and countries.
Everyone was running crazy on Earth, especially in East City. Ii then descended on the ground and walked around scaring all the civilians. One man was especially scared for his life. He was in Ii's path and couldn't move. His legs were frozen with terror. The man shuttered as Ii drew his attention to him. Ii raised a hand and sent an energy blast at the man. The surrounding area exploded, and debris flew in all directions.
Ii turned to look at the corpse of the unlucky man, but to his surprise, nothing was found. Did he disintegrate in the blast that bad?
Humans...how pitiful and fragile, Ii thought.
As he was about to laugh, he realized someone else was there. Ii looked around, trying to follow the energy pattern. Finally he looked up into the sky to see a young boy holding the man by his arm.
Of course the man began to yell. He was in the air!
Ii smiled at the interference. At least he wouldn't be bored any more. The boy floated down to the ground and let go of the frightened man's arm.
"It's okay now. You can leave. Run to safety while you can."
The man just stared at the two beings he had never seen before in his life, before running for his dear life in the opposite direction.
"Humans...what a waste of physical space." Ii said, trying to spark a conversation with the man's rescuer.
"Look who's talking." came his reply.
Ii smiled again. He looked at the boy. He was green and wore clothing that no human would ever wear!
"And who are you?"
"I am Piccolo."
"Are you all alone?"
No reply
"I'm surprised you would walk into your doom so easily." Ii joked.
Shin Piccolo smiled back.
"We'll see...after the Saiya-jin are finished with you."
Ii turned his full attention to Piccolo. The boy knows the Saiya-jin. What a perfect coincidence!
"So you know that you're not going to defeat me. Why are you here?"
"My business is my own." Piccolo told him.
"Listen up boy. If you tell me where the Saiya-jin are, I will let you go free. I will kill you later however."
Piccolo laughed. What was this guy on?
"I don't think so Ii."
"Then I'll beat it out of you boy, and make you apart of history!" Ii shouted. He was waiting for some real action. Ii shot a energy blast at Piccolo, and the boy moved away. After a few physical interactions, Piccolo fled the city, making Ii follow him into a deserted hillside.
"Very smart." Ii complimented him.
"This is where we will fight" Piccolo said.
"and this is where your grave will be!"
Ii flew at Shin Piccolo, who in turn, flew at him too. Both cried in fury at their opponent. There souls craving action. Piccolo wanted justice, while Ii wanted nothing but darkness for the earth. In Piccolo's dictionary, this couldn't be permitted.
Their clenched fists were hitting away, and the sky shook from their awesome power. Ii was slightly impressed with the Namekseijin's strength, but still, it was nothing to him.
Ii drew back his left fist and threw a quick punch at Piccolo. It was to hit him square in the face, but to Ii's amazement and dismay, Piccolo maneuvered. This stunned Ii which gave Piccolo just enough time to hit him hard in the back. Ii fell from the sky before recovering from his stun. He paused in midair and cracked his neck side to side. Piccolo stopped in the air too.
"You really surprised me."
Piccolo smirked and clenched his fists tighter.
"But do you really think I was trying?" Ii said, cracking his neck for the last time.
Piccolo smiled and stood straight and tall.
"Yeah right. You paused for a second."
Ii smiled devilishly.
"Maybe so, but that was only an ant bite punch you delivered. If you want a chance to beat me, you're going to have to try harder."
Piccolo grabbed the cape that sat around his neck and drooped over his back and shoulders.
"What makes you think that I was trying?"
Piccolo tossed the cape off his shoulders and took his fighting stance. Ii followed suit. After a short stare at each other, trying to anticipate the other's choice of attack, the two charged at each other once again.

Sage couldn't believe that Piccolo did what he did.
"Is he always like that?" Sage asked.
Popo chuckled.
"Who does he remind you of Dende?"
"Piccolo-san." Dende laughed.
"That's funny, but is he strong enough to beat Ii-Shenron? I mean, that guy is strong, so..."
Popo chuckled again.
"I'm not sure about that."
At that statement, they all turned their attention to Popo.
"What do you mean?" Thyme inquired.
"You are all fighters right? Can't you feel and see the battle through your mind by feeling their ki signals?"
"Yeah, but..."
"Young Piccolo isn't down for the count. He maybe weaker than Ii at the moment, but he has better brains than he could ever have. Use your ki and see for yourself."

They all did what Popo said, and smiled. No way! He was right!

***

Ii threw another punch...Piccolo moved out of the way. Ii threw another kick...but Piccolo maneuvered that one as well. Ii didn't understand it. This was only a Namek...he wasn't as strong as the Saiya-jin he fought 100 years ago on Earth.
Piccolo noticed this.
"Are you getting tired Ii?"
Ii grinded his teeth. What was going on? He should've been able to kill Piccolo with a flick of a finger. Something was going on, but what could it be?

Piccolo's assault continued. His sharp moves were direct, and his ki attacks were too. His ki wasn't as strong as Ii's he confessed up, but Ii was pretty dumb.
Piccolo launched a sphere of ki at the beast, and Ii easily knocked it out of the way. Piccolo launched another one, but it was the same... Ii deflected it. Piccolo threw another one, and then another one, and another. Ii kept hitting them away, and laughed at Piccolo's weak energy.
"You poor excuse for a fighter! You're physical attacks are good, but your energy is embarrassing. You're not worthy to fight me!"
Piccolo continued to threw more energy at Ii, and Ii just stood there taking the blows. He wanted to show Piccolo that it was useless.
"Give up Piccolo...you can't win."
The young Namek was about to stop his energy attacks since they would drain him eventually, but when he was about to stop, something unusual occurred.

Ii laughed as Piccolo's ki bounced off his form. It was absolutely funny to the beast. Ii was about to act when he paused. He felt something. He turned to his shoulder and noticed a cut. It wasn't a scrape either, it was a deep wound, and it began bleeding.
What?! Ii thought to himself.
He was just deflecting Piccolo's ki off himself just then, so how did the weak attacks put a cut in him? Ii noticed Piccolo saw the cut too.
"You're not as strong as you thought you were Ii-Shenron!" Piccolo called to him.
Ii didn't understand it. How could a fighter such as Piccolo pull such a weak attack on him, and get a deep wound on his shoulder? Piccolo was weaker than the fighters 100 years ago...he should've been able to kill Piccolo without trying!

What the heck was going on?!!!!!!!!!!
