Chapter One- An Unexpected Find
Author's Note- Hey listen... I don't own DBZ... I know big surprise! But I do own Nerissa so please leave her alone. K? Oh yeah, on with the story! Please review!
Piccolo is making his usual trip to visit Gohan. He comes upon a strange sound. It sounds of a dolphin but that's not it. Whatever it is, it is in pain. So, Piccolo decides to check it out, against his better judgment. He flies towards the high-pitched squeal, which is now leaving permanent damage in his sensitive Namek hearing. The sound leads him to the ocean, where he hears voices shouting over the squeal.
"Don't let her break the net!"
"She can't escape this time!"
Piccolo walks cautiously towards the voices along the waters' edge. He makes out five men with nets and fishing spears. He hears something thrashing in the water still emitting that annoying high-pitched sound. Everything in Piccolo's head tells him to help the creature in the water, or could it be just Nail and Kami? Finally he confronts the gruff looking fishermen.
"Let the creature go!" He says with his voice stern and commanding.
The five sailors turn and look at the muscular green man before them. The sailors drop their spears and nets. They scramble, tripping over their own feet trying to get away. Piccolo looks in the water and sees the creature the sailors have captured. Her hair of silver is tangled within the net. She is half-woman, half-fish, what humans call a mermaid. Piccolo has never even heard of such a creature, he has never heard the term mermaid. Piccolo kneels down and analyzes the creature before him. The creature flops around trying to free herself from the net.
"I won't hurt you," Piccolo tries to calm her down without much luck.
Piccolo starts to untangle the panicked mermaid from the net. Her thrashing just gets herself more tangled in the nets.
"I'm trying to help you!" Piccolo starts getting frustrated.
Finally Piccolo is able to free her from the net. She slaps the shallow water with her silver-scaled tail creating a mist of sea foam as she flips into deeper waters. She starts to swim away but then looks at Piccolo who still kneels on the sandy beach. The mermaid takes the shell from around her neck and swims back to the shore. She smiles at Piccolo understanding he has helped her. She extends the shell to Piccolo. Piccolo carefully takes the pearl-colored shell. The mermaid then swims off leaving Piccolo in awe of the beautiful shell. What once looked like a normal pearl-colored shell is now swirled with a rainbow of colors. Piccolo then remembers his trip to Gohan's and leaves for the teen's house.
"Hey," Gohan hauls Piccolo inside the house.
"How are you?" Piccolo looks up from the shell, he has been entranced by.
"Fine, whatcha got?" Gohan tries to see the shell tight within his mentor's grasp.
"Just a shell." Piccolo smirks at the fully grown boy.
"Can I see it?"
"Sure." Piccolo opens his hand to reveal the awesome shell.
"Wow!" Gohan stares bewitched by the shell, "No wonder it caught your eye."
"This may sound crazy but some fish-woman gave me this shell after I freed her from a net." Piccolo is embarrassed by telling such a farfetched story.
"You mean a mermaid gave you this shell?" Gohan runs his finger along the smooth surface of the shell.
"A mermaid? I guess so." Piccolo looks at his former student with confusion.
"A mermaid's shell! That is just so cool!" Gohan says.
Piccolo stays for a little while but then soon returns to his cave. Piccolo goes into his meditative sleep but all he can think about is that mermaid. She is so beautiful and a mystery to the Namek. Piccolo can't seem to get her out of his thoughts.
"What is with me?" He says as he wakes. He looks at the shell he now has around his neck. It glows mysteriously.
"I wonder where she is right now?"
Piccolo finally gets down to training. He splits into two and begins sparring with himself. Later he returns to his dark lonely cave but he hears something on his way back. A voice sings a song without words. It is a song that enchants the Namek. Piccolo follows the voice as if under a spell. He sees his mermaid sitting on a rock. When she sees Piccolo, she stops singing and looks at him with her aqua eyes, as if saying, I knew you'd come.
"Can you understand me?" Piccolo asks with no response. The mermaid looks at Piccolo smiling, splashing her tail in the water. The moonlight reflects off the crystal water and the mermaid's silver tail and silver hair.
"I wish you could understand." Piccolo mumbles.
The mermaid hops off the rock into the water, distorting the perfectly round reflection of the moon. She swims up to shore as Piccolo kneels down on the sandy beach. The mermaid's silver hair fans out over the water. Piccolo slowly reaches out for the mermaid, expecting her to swim away, but she doesn't. He touches her milky soft skin. She placed her hand atop his on her cheek. Both creatures are trying to understand the other without the use of words. Piccolo takes her hand into his.
Her skin is so soft and smooth. The mermaid just smiles at him. A light shines and the mermaid's tail turns to legs. She crawls from the water trying to get used to her legs. Piccolo averts his eyes from the nude creature. He takes off his cloak and wraps it around her. He offers his hand and helps her to stand.
Piccolo looks to her, "Do you wish to come with me?"
She just smiles, still holding his hand.
"What shall I call you?" Piccolo points to himself, "Piccolo."
She looks at him with obvious confusion. Then tries to understand, she points to him and mimics, "Piccolo."
Piccolo points to her trying to get her name.
She points to herself, "Nerissa."
"Nerissa. Maybe Dr. Briefs or Bulma can help with a translator."
****That's the end of Chapter One. Please R&R! Will Dr Briefs be able to help? Will Nerissa and Piccolo understand each other? All in the next chapter!****
