Dragon Ball/Z/GT Fan Fiction ❯ Instruments in Tune ❯ Tranquill Times ( Chapter 10 )

"Mr. Popo, I have a feeling this year will bring the new threat."

Kami out to the earth, feeling a strange presents one that he had never felt before except once many years ago, but he could not recall the source of that power.

"Why Kami? What makes you say this?

Mr. Popo took a moment to stop watering the newly planted tulip border to gaze up at Kami.

Kami shook his head to himself walking back to the throne in the lookout building and sitting down.

* Perhaps my age is getting to me, but this sensation in abnormal*

"Mr. Popo would you come here a moment please?"

Mr. Popo rushed into the room at Kami's request.

"Yes Kami what can I do?"

"Would it be to much trouble for you to boil some water and make us both some very strong tea?"

Mr.Popo smiled standing tall.

"It would be my pleasure Kami"

****************************************************************

The rushing water cascaded over the rocks so many years has this been occurring that the rocks had become as smooth as silk to touch and just as slippery.

Levitating above the cascading water Piccolo was lost in the sound the most natural and beautiful sound in his mind, he would not trade it for the world.

This thought brought up a question, he would have traded everything for the world a decade ago it revived some memories that he seemed to almost remember.

********************FLASHBACK********************

"What the hell are you doing?"

"Vella wants these cherry blossoms to make perfume and incense…"

*********************END FLASHBACK***************

"Piccolo where are you?"

Piccolo awoke from his reliving of past times to a welcoming voice, Gohan the little boy that he kept closer than he dared to keep anyone else.

"Hey kid up here"

Gohan arrived at the edge of the cascade followed by Goku that came in rubbing his forehead.

Piccolo eyes Goku his once greatest rival and all he saw was a large bump penetrating Goku's forehead.

"From your wife?"

Piccolo inquired with a sideways smirk at Goku.

"Ha ha ha, no this is from the tree I ran into on the way, what makes you think chi chi did this"

Goku pointed to the pump on his forehead.

Piccolo shrugged looking away in a low voice he said.

"That could be one hell of a long list"

Finally they did what they originally came to do, training, there was worldly threat you could say they almost enjoyed it was the favorite pastime.

An hour later the trio were joined my Tien, Yumcha and Chouzu.

They partnered up, Chouzu against Gohan, Yumcha against Piccolo and Tien against Goku.

All pushing their bodies to the limit, slashes, uppercuts kicks, punches, elbows like a shark feeding frenzy flew through the air in all direction. When sparring they took it seriously that any one could seriously hurt or kill anyone else.

3 hours had passed and sparring had come to a stop for a break, Tien, Chouzu and Goku sat together conversing about the past few weeks that they had not seen each other, Piccolo meditated whilst Yumcha gave young Gohan the lowdown on his baseball currier.

Nightfall was approaching, Tien and Chouzu headed for the mountains Yumcha accompanied Goku and Gohan back home to see chi chi.

Piccolo on hearing this thought Yumcha had been on the baseball field toooo long.

Once all had said their goodbyes and left Piccolo was alone he liked it that way he found it the most relaxing and happy times for him.

So why did he feel so….alone?

Piccolo again was remembering his vision that happened earlier, he did not see any faces when it happened he only herd voices his own and another's.

Then a voice came to him.

~ Piccolo, I must speak with you now it is important~

Kami's telepathic connection broke through the barriers Piccolo had put up around his mind, for his to break though it must be urgent.

~What do you want now old man?~

Piccolo grumbled in his mind at the irritating sound of Kami's voice.

~Come to the lookout I have sensed something very disturbing, hurry~

Without a word Piccolo abruptly flew into the yonder directly to the lookout he now began to wonder what could put the old man in such a panic, if there was a threat he and the Z fighters would have sensed it by now.

***********************************************************

At the lookout.

"Oh thank goodness you are here, Kami is in the throne room"

Mr. Popo greeted Piccolos arrival and led him to the throne room where Kami sat waiting.

"Piccolo, I am glad you made it"

Kami rose from the thorn and approached Piccolos.

"That's far enough old man now what do you have to say?"

Piccolo crossed his arms and waited for a response.

"I have sensed a strange presents it is headed for the earth, this presents is vaguely familiar to me but I can not explain why"

Kami whipped his perspirating brow with a handkerchief provided by Mr.Popo.

"For this reason I request that you and the earth fighters be prepared this new threat is different, dangerous but I can not explain why"

Kami returned to his seat on the throne.

"That's it, you called me here to hear you are getting Alzheimer's?"

Piccolo snickered in frustration he already hated coming here for a reason now there was none.

"Then answer me this Piccolo, what could be the reason that I sense this strange presents but you and the rest of the defenders of earth with your powers have not?"

Piccolo had the same thought cross his mind just an hours before this surprised his leading him to believe that perhaps the old man was correct.

This could be serious…

A little boring I know but I promise it will get better.
