Dragon Ball/Z/GT Fan Fiction ❯ Piccolo's Heart... THE PLAY! ❯ Act XVI: Tournament Pt. 3 ( Chapter 16 )

Piccolo's Heart

Key: This is going to be like a play… most of my stories are dialogue anyhow. If a person is thinking it, it will be in parentheses. If a person is speaking telepathically, it will be in pound signs. The chapters will be dived by acts consisting of scenes. Got it? Good.

Setup: Piccolo has been wandering Earth for five years after Cell… trying to find his life's purpose. No one of the Z squad has seen him since Goku's death, not even Gohan.

Act XVI: Tournament Pt. 3





Scene I: World's Martial Arts Tournament: Order


Piccolo stands next to Kim and Gohan as they wait to draw numbers to pick their order. Kim has been nervous, she knows just by her being here the order will be changed. Part of her plan depends on the order.

Piccolo: #Are you alright, precious?#

Kim: #Yes, just worried.#

Nail: #PRECIOUS!#

Kim: #Nail, stop picking on, Piccolo!#

Nail {gulps}: #When did you start hearing me?#

Kim: #I guess me and Piccolo are getting closer.#

Piccolo: #That's good. I guess.#

Nail: #NOT FOR ME!#

Announcer dude: Well the first up to draw a number is um… Kimberly.

Kim: Yey! {skips up and draws the number four} Yes! My lucky number!

Announcer dude: Next is Videl.

Videl walks up without a word and draws the number two.

Announcer dude: Goku!

Goku: Hmm… {reaches in bag} I wonder what number I'll get. {pulls out a five}

Kim breathes a sigh of relief. But then Piccolo is called up. Piccolo walks to the bag and pulls out a one.

Kim: #Go easy on Videl. Just knock her out of the ring, quick.#

Piccolo: #I wouldn't hurt, Gohan's girlfriend.#

Kim: #He's going to marry her, you know.#

Piccolo: #Really?#

Vegeta draws a six. Shin draws a three and Kim silently celebrates. Gohan draws a seven. 18 draws a nine. Krillin draws a ten. Hercule, a eight. Leaving the two with the Majin marks to be the final battle. ~~AN: I keep forgetting their stupid names and I don't really care. Sorry.~~

Kim: #Oh this is too perfect. Don't power up too much when you fight Videl, just enough to make one quick blow to get her out of the ring.#

Piccolo: #Alright? But are you actually going to fight the Supreme Kai?#

Kim: #Well, yeah. But trust me on this.#

Piccolo: Are you sure?

Kim: Dammit! Trust me!

Vegeta looks suspiciously at Kim and Piccolo.

Kim {notices Vegeta staring}: What is it?

Vegeta: I can't admire a beautiful flower? {smirks}

Kim {blushing}: Uh… um… (Wow, is Vegeta hitting on me?)

Piccolo {growling}: #What? Why are you blushing? And stuttering? Stop it!#

Kim: Oh shoot… here comes Shin.

Shin: You say you know why I am here and you know who I am.

Kim: Yes and I know what I must do so we can follow the muscleheads.

Shin: Good, then you will do it.

Kim: Yes and my power is as strong as Gohan's so it shall be no problem tempting the morons.

Shin: Good. {walks off}

Piccolo: I wish you would let me in on this plan.

Kim: #Now, Pici, dear. As long as you have the senzu beans you don't need to worry.#

Nail: #Yes, Pici, dear.#

Kim: #Oh, Nail… Don't forget, I can hear you, too.#

Nail: #Man! This sucks.#

Piccolo: #Ha! Whipped!#

Nail: #Shut up! {sobs}#

Piccolo: #Oh this is just such wonderful payback!#

Kim: #Oh, look. The others are going to go eat. I'm sort of hungry, myself. Do you mind?#

Piccolo: #Not at all.#

Piccolo and Kim walk with the others inside the complex to get some food. Kim sits at the table with Piccolo next to her.

Kim: Darn, I just realized I am going to have to compete with two full-blooded Saiyains to get my food. Oh well, ladies' first. {grabs for the first plate but Vegeta takes it}

Vegeta {smiles and sets the plate down in front of Kim}: Here you are.

Kim: Thanks. {eats the food then notices death-stare between Vegeta and Piccolo}

Vegeta: Weren't we supposed to speak, my dear?

Kim: Oh yeah. I forgot. {to Vegeta} #I will talk to you this way. After I fight, an evil will arise and Goku, Gohan, Piccolo and I will go fight it. I insist you stay in the tournament because this evil guy can tap into a person's evil in their heart. He can control you… I know it because I have seen it. No I'm not from the future but I do know what will happen if you go, so I beg you to stay away from the battle.#

Vegeta: #And why should I do that?#

Kim: #Because you will cause destruction of lives!#

Vegeta: #Your point?#

Kim: #Please! Prince Vegeta, I know you don't want the destruction of Earth. You'll die if you come with us! Don't you understand?#

Vegeta: #I will stay but only if you kiss me, here and now.#

Kim: #What? Why would you want that?#

Vegeta: #Amuse me.#

Kim: (Um, Piccolo don't be mad… please don't be mad… I have to.) {She stands and walks over to Vegeta and kisses him on the lips}

Vegeta holds her in the kiss while the others look on, shocked.

Piccolo: What the hell are you doing, Kim?

Goku: I thought she had a crush on Piccolo. {scratches head and returns to eating}

Kim: Excuse me. {runs out of the place from the strange expressions}

Vegeta: She certainly is a feisty one. {smirks and folds arms}

Piccolo: Stay away from her. I don't know what you did but… dammit she's mine. {stands and runs after Kim}

Krillin {choking}: Did he just say?

Vegeta: I believe he did. It seems that the Namek has grown attached to his student. Very possessive. It was her who came on to me.

Goku: Piccolo and Kim have a strong bond. They speak telepathically constantly.

Vegeta: How would you know that, Kakarott?

Goku: Well it is just a guess but if you look at the expressions they make when they aren't even talking… it seems like they are talking telepathically. {stuffs mouth full of food}

--------

Piccolo: WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING?

Kim: Eeep… look I had to. It was the only way he'd agree to stay while we go fight the big baddie.

Piccolo: What?

Kim: Babidi can control people with evil in their hearts… just think what he could do if he got control over Vegeta.

Piccolo: That's what happened?

Kim: Yep and Majin Buu was resurrected. So I'm sorry but I thought a kiss was a small price to pay for preventing a catastrophe.

Piccolo: Fine, but warn me, next time!

Kim: Oh, poo. That's no fun!

Piccolo: Come on. Let's get over to the stadium. I suspect everyone is suspicious, now that I claimed you were mine.

Kim: Yeah, Picci-chan, I would suspect that'll do it.

Gohan: Piccolo, um, shouldn't you just tell them, now?

Piccolo: Not yet.

Krillin: Tell us what?

18: Yes, I am wondering the same thing.

Kim: #Well, my love, it seems we may be caught. I know you wanted to wait until Babidi was destroyed, but I think it is now or never.#

Piccolo: #I don't want to.#

Kim: #Come on, don't be that way. Nail, help me out here!#

Piccolo: #Forget it!#

Vegeta: They are speaking telepathically. You were right for once, Kakarott.

Krillin: What are you hiding that you have to speak telepathically? {smirks}

Kim: #Fine!# {storms off}

Piccolo: #Why you!#

Vegeta: Well, are you just going to keep ignoring us, Namek?

Piccolo: Yes. {walks away}

Gohan: Oh, Piccolo. {shakes his head and follows}
