Chapter 50: Preparations.

Isabelle's clung to Piccolo her tears still streaming out of her auburn eyes onto Piccolos neck sliding down onto his gi and chest, feeling him trying to pull away gently she slowly released her hold on him but did not pull away fully.

Resting her slender arms around his neck their faces inches apart they looked into one another eyes for what seemed like moment but only seconds.

Piccolo felt the familiar sensation he had the previous night when he felt her body beneath his he knew he needed to get away from her before he lost his discipline.

He reached up grasping her wrists pulling her arms down & placing then by her side he looked into her sensing her disillusion.

"I am needed outside" he said seeing her face become gloom.

Isabelle understood but she did not want him to leave her sight, she nodded hesitantly knowing it was selfish for her to keep him there for her own sake when so much was at stake.

"I know, they need you" She attempted a weak smile as she backed away from him allowing him to pass.

Piccolo brushed past Isabelle not looking back afraid her expression would shackle his emotion to the room stepping up he exited through the open window to again avoid suspicion from anyone that may be down stairs.

Isabelle watched her arms folding, head hanging as Piccolo leapt off the window frame she felt sad inside and her body ached for rest she lay done upon her lace covered bed.

"I missed this room so much"

Nuzzling her face in the soft pillows the familiar scent of blossoms from the incense by on the bedside table she drifted into a deep sleep.

Piccolo landed firmly on the ground his cape trailing his figure a few inches above the ground, walking toward the group of fighters his eyes fixed on one individual sitting on the ground.

Bongo sat on the ground his elbow resting on his knees he listened attentively but seemed to be occupied with something else, Piccolo approached still watching him closely he could almost guess what he was assuming.

He knew the mistrust Bongo had toward him would have great ramifications if he knew, he pushed the thought away as he came to a stop between his brother and student Gohan.

Bongo gave a noticeable sideways glance to his brother standing a few feet away his towering figure making his seem monumental, turning his eye into a slit he opened his mouth to speak to release the weight that was on his mind but was interrupted.

"But Goku I know that the spirit bomb can be of help in this situation"

Krillin pleaded for Goku to consider the spirit bomb its efficiently and power convinced Krillin it was the ultimate weapon.

Goku sighed he had not used the spirit bomb since the battle with Frieza and it did not have much effect at slowing him down, what chance would it have against this evil which they knew nothing of.

"I don't know Krillin," Goku rubbed his chin "We could but we don't know how powerful this enemy is"

Gohan was hoping his father would agree but he sighed realizing he would not, he felt a familiar hand pat his shoulder.

Looking up he saw his sensei had seen his disappointment.

Bongo quirked to himself at hearing the discussion, this weapon was foreign to him he was curious.

"What is a spirit bomb?"

All turned to Bongo's question he had a puzzled look on his face.

Krillin stepped forward to explain.

"The spirit bomb is a powerful attack that is formed by gathering energy from all living things into a large ball of energy"

Bongo nodded satisfied with the description he would have liked to know how this attack was initiated. Only Goku knew how to use this attack the time was not enough to teach it to the rest.

"So that means we are not as well prepared as we could have been?" Bongo questions toward Krillin and Goku, they both looked at each other.

"We will just make do with what we've got," Piccolo added.

Whilst Krillin and Goku conversed out load to one another again from hearing Piccolos comment, it was true they had no choice but to make do.

Bongo faced Piccolo the face of courage that shines from Piccolo did not surprise him, he had seen this face many times In their younger years it was the face that said he was prepared, prepared to fight.

Piccolo knew his bothers eyes were upon him and that they were examining his tone, he did not enjoy this attention from anyone much less his own brother and for now comrade.

"What are you looking at?" Piccolo said in an icy whisper directed at Bongo without changing his pose.

Bongo turned pausing for a moment realizing the malice in Piccolos mind and heart would never cease to exist, it was his most prominent quality.

"Nothing" Bongo said almost stuttering he finally stopped looking at his defiant sibling.

*He may have changed his attitude toward the world but he still has not changed his attitude*

He thought of his brothers obsession that he had so long ago to kill the very man tat was now leading them.

"You are all so foolish and predictable" Spat Vegeta defining the nonsense he saw in the groups attempt.

"What are you talking about Vegeta, I don't see you putting in any effort" Krillin spat equally as defiant coming within inches of the saiyijin prince.

Vegeta smirked.

"Hahaha, ohh spar me your attempts baldy, I know what I am talking about" Vegeta pushed past Krillin sending the monk to the ground on his rear with a thump.

The others did not move as Vegeta approached their expressions hardening at his handling of Krillin, Vegeta's muscles flicker, his expression still glazed with a bombastic smirk.

"You are all pondering about what to use to save your pitiable lives, I need none of these foolish bombs, attacks and blasts"

Vegeta stopped his hands folding across his clearly defined chest.

Goku stepped forward eyeing his saiyijin comrade, Goku stopped pausing briefly Vegeta was determined to be on top of things, it was beginning to get under Goku's skin.

"If you think you can manage without the help Vegeta then we wish you luck"

Vegeta huffed at hearing Goku's words and was surprised at Goku's words, he then walked away again feeling somewhat satisfied and defeated.

Goku turned back to see the equally surprised faces at Gohan, Krillin, Piccolo and Bongo.

"Wow you said it Goku, its about time someone got him off his high horse" Krillin said dusting off his gi and removing the loose stalks of glass that had lodged in his blue belt Krillin smiled to his life long friend.

"I said what was necessary we don't need this right now, we need to get serious you all know we might not survive this"

Krillin's face again became solemn along with the rest.

"Dad, won't we need Vegeta's help?"

Gohan asked twiddling his index fingers curiously, he knew how strong the saiyijin prince was, he also knew they needed all the help they could get.

"I don't know son, I hope he makes up his mind for everyone's good."

Goku said closing his eyes, he hoped he was right.

Not far off in universal terms a dark shadow began to pass the atmosphere of Pluto the cold side of the solar system, very quaint for the residence of the shadow that would very soon reach its destination…
