Chapter 14: Aid for survival

The 2 cursed creatures hovered above the lookout eyeing each from the aged Kami to the Gohan taking in all their features, Their twisted souls gave no light through their eyes.

"Who sent you?" Piccolo demanded taking one step closer to the sapphire skinned foreigners.

"Shut that mouth of yours lima bean, you are in no position to demand anything."

Clip curse toward a furious Piccolo.

The Z fighters calmer their rage, knowing it would not do any good to squabble.

"That's better not the message for you is that we shall return in one year with our master he has many plans for you"

Slit directed his three gazes toward Goku and Piccolo.

"Now we thought to cut you all some slack and tell you about it, it's evident that you need time to prepare"

Silence fell; only the dews dropping from the recently watered tulips were herd.

Vegeta stepped forward smirking with poise

"We can just kill you now and not waste a whole year waiting, how does that strike you"

Again silence fell, the two creatures looked at one another and smiled heartlessly.

"Well you could try, I would not mind serving you and the entrée, your just not enough to make the main course… but your friends from earlier were not even worth serving as appetizers.

Krillin dashed forward he had herd enough, but Goku was easily as quick in grasping his in a firm headlock to save his life.

"YOU…YOU MONSTERS"

Krillin screams echo's through the lookout, the two creatures let out two god awful laughs of cruelty drumming through the Z warriors ears.

"Why I am just so flattered you know how to give a admiring comment baldy"

The two creatures turned to take off with clip turning to give a final word.

"Don't despair we shall return"

Then they descended toward the mountains their forms fading through the suns rays

Goku had now relaxed his headlock, Krillin exhausted body slumped to the ground his hands failing to grasp the hard tiles.

"Now what do we do Kami?"

Mr. Pop was worried fear stricken he hoped the great guardian of earth could offer some words of comfort.

Kami sighed tilting his head to the ground, he was also worried this was no ordinary earth saving situation. This dark lord now had his eyes fixed upon the Z fighters and not the earth, this was most unusual.

Kami watched the Z fighters he knew they were not at the edge insanity first the loss of their comrades and now the loss of hope for the future.

"There is no choice no arguments we have to train and prepare"

Goku stood up in deep thought.

"You're a fool Kakarot, we should go and destroy those morons before they get a chance to return to their master"

Vegeta stood as well his hands firmly grasping his hips in rage, he growled and walked away from the rest of the group.

Piccolo had not said a word but his what he was thinking was mutual to Krillin who spoke for both of them.

"There are not enough of us we won't have a chance the guys are gone, what can we do, who can help us?"

Krillins head bowled over his face in his hands.

Gohan now turned to find Piccolo standing on the other side of the lookout gazing out to the sun that had now climbed higher, without hesitation Gohan left his fathers side to approach his sensei.

Piccolo heard Gohan's approach but made no endeavor to turn around and face him; instead he let out a small defeated breath.

"Mr. Piccolo?… do you have any idea what we could do?"

Piccolo turned to look onto his student's glassy black eyes, he gave an askew smirk.

"Maybe kid… but I have to discuss it with your dad first."

Piccolo headed for Goku his mind raising could he do it, could he seek the help of his torment past with a former kin?

Goku turned from his deep thought to Piccolo, turning to face his whole body to Piccolo Goku wondered if he had a notion or solution.

"Son I need to speak with you in private, join me on the other side of the lookout"

Without another word Piccolo flew directly to the opposite side of the lookout, Goku soon followed landing beside Piccolo.

He was apprehensive to know what Piccolo had to say

*Is piccolo worried? I have never seen him so awkward when he wants to say what he thinks *

Goku's wonders where put to rest with Piccolos next words.

"I may have found a solution to our shortage of assistance in this fight"

Piccolo did not turn to face Goku.

"I will take anything right now Piccolo, what do you have in mind?"

Goku watched as Piccolo took a few steps forward stopping right at the edge rimming of the lookout.

"I know someone whom could be of use in this fight, he was not strong on out last encounter he may have improved enough to be of some use by now"

Goku felt the weight on his shoulders starting to ease he was hoping that they could gather all the help possible anyone whom could fight would do.

"Piccolo that is the only good news I have herd today, when can we get this guy here?"

Now Piccolo had to get his words right, it may not be that easy but it was worth the very future of this planet earth seemed to be a spawning ground for dark lord & the Z fighters were needed to protect it.

"There's one thing you need to know Goku, This guy might not agree to this"

Goku turned he was not bitterly disappointed but his hopes were again fading.

"Is it still worth the try Piccolo, is the kind that would risk a lot to save this planet, if you can answer yes to that then its enough for me"?

Goku now turned a firm glance to Piccolo he wanted an answer.

Piccolo tilted his head up and looked directly toward him his features softened slightly, he turned to Goku.

"Yes" A smile crossed the stone faced Piccolo, it sent a deep glee to Goku without hesitation he ran back to the rest of the group to alert them of the recent update.

"So where do we go Goku?

Krillin listened as Goku explained that this aquatints Piccolo live across the continent it may take a few days to reach them for their help.

Piccolo was still on the other side of the lookout, and then the one whom knew him best approached him.

"Sensei…."

Piccolo turned to see Gohan by his side smiling up at him, he returned the gesture.

"I am glad you know someone who can help us we are ready to all go, are you ready sensei?"

Without another word Piccolo swung around his cape followed in perfect motion creating the only current of wind that ever existed on the lookout.

The other Z fighters were waiting; even Vegeta seemed to be anxious to get under way.

All at once they turned to Kami to say their goodbyes.

"May the heavens shine down on you me dear friends, you are the greatest hope this world has."

Kami held his hand up to them to see them off they turned Piccolo in the lead led them toward their destination.
