Last time on Friend or Foe II...
The power was enough for every single being on the asteroid to feel it, if the ability was there. Power strung into power, and light threaded into light. Piccolo Diamoun had put up a valiant fight, but the powers of the Super Namekian outmatched his own. There was no way he could win the fight, and he knew it.
A flash of light ensued, causing the older Namekian to vanish from sight. The two murder-struck warriors moved forward to check on the Namek's state. Out of no where, from the dust, Diamoun roared forward, a defining "Arrrrg!" screaming through his beaten mouth. He used a sharp rock to cut into the Super Namekian's cheek, and rip it open. Android Seventeen then blasted the broken warrior in the head, finishing him.
Piccolo growled, holding his face which was regenerating. Diamoun was gone, but he hadn't gone down without a fight.
The green flesh quickly began its regeneration process as the Superior Namekian held onto his cheek, trying to sub do the pain. It had been a Nasty little trick, but it had worked, Piccolo Diamoun died, leaving the Super Namekian in a load of pain. The attack made Piccolo realize one thing, they were mortal. They too could feel pain. Sure, a two on one made it easier to kill off someone, but it still wore them down tremendously. A resting period was what they needed.
Fully regenerated, the Jade warrior sat cross legged on the wasteland surface. It?s hot sun as unforgiving as ever as it seemed to have intensified since the beginning of their fight with Diamoun. Droplets of sweat formed endlessly over both warriors bodies as they sat for a moment, catching their breath and regaining their composure. Android 17 pushed his hair from his face, exposing a small cut across the mechanical beings left cheek, only a small amount of blood seemed to show within it. Suddenly remembering the Siabamen, Android 17 commanded them to return to seed form and the little green men instantly began to shrivel up and return to their small forms. Picking up the three seeds, Android 17 dropped two into his pouch and one into his Namekian partner?s pouch. Turning back toward Piccolo, Android 17 continued watching his partner as he seemed to leave his body.
Meditating, Piccolo pushed his mind far from this pace. He needed to escape the asteroid, even if it were only for a second. The physical and mental strain that was bearing down on the Namekian was too great for him to handle and though he had snapped, everyone once and a while he would regain control and the homicidal side would just vanish, this was one of those times. Floating just inches from the ground, Piccolo entered deep concentration and Android 17 just watched. It was strange for him, to be paired up with this Namekian. Sure, he was a powerful being, but Namekian?s were known for their peacefulness, not for their power. However, ever since their training in the Room of Spirit and Time, he had become to know Piccolo as more than just a Namekian, but as a force to be reckoned with. Their training had been intense, each pushing each other a little further every day. Both of their minds and bodies had pushed far beyond their limits and then some. And now, with their minds completely broken, they had killed off Piccolo Diamoun, another Namekian, who stood beside them to fend off the evil Bio-Androids.
Meanwhile, inside Piccolo?s mind . . .
Trees were slightly swaying in the gentle breeze in a small village near the ocean. Children were running through the sand at the beach while the young teen females bathed in the hot summer sun in hopes of receiving a dark golden tan. The teenage boys were out surfing, trying to impressing the girls and hopefully make one of them their girlfriends. The girls all giggled as each boy slowly took a fall into the water.
Suddenly, a scream came from a nearby shopping center. The woman screamed again as a man walked out from the store, holding another man by his shirt. The man was bleeding profusely. The attacker seemed to be questioning the man.
Then the attacker punched his stomach, sending his fist straight through the man. The vender's eye?s widened and his face showed him to be in both confusion and fear. The attacker pulled his hand free and the screaming woman fainted. The attacker looked at the man once more, then tossed his lifeless body to the ground, he watched it bounce twice, then he fired a small ball of energy that destroyed the body.
Looking up into the air, the attack?s body was slowly revealed. It was Android Byrk. He had successfully unleashed the demons upon the Earth. And the mayhem was overwhelming.
?I will find you Namekian!? The evil Android yelled into the air. Then, as if knowing Piccolo was watching every second, he spoke again. ?When you return from that place, you will die.?
Piccolo broke his concentration and gasped. Android 17 looked quickly at the Namekian, who had developed more sweet than before. Standing to his feet, the Android walked up to his Namekian partner. Waving his hand in front of Piccolo?s face, 17 found it difficult to get the Namekian?s attention. Slapping him hard, the jade being snapped out of his trance and looked directly at Android 17's face. Shaking his head, Piccolo decided not to worry the Android with the events from Earth, it would be much too risky for him to worry about the Earth and the fight at the same time. Piccolo knew he would go through his burden alone, and he had already accepted it.
Standing up, Piccolo avoided Android 17's piercing eyes. Patting the Android on the back, the Namekian walked a few feet away from him and his scouter instantly went wild. Two power readings nearby, one east and the other just north of the first. Glancing at Android 17, who had blood lust still in his eyes, Piccolo turned to face his brother in arms.
?One rule.? Commanded Piccolo. ?No killing these two. We need to rest our bodies, besides, I sense something else in the area, but I cannot get a lock on it. We must be careful and we must join with these other beings, however, if they are hostile, do as you like.?
Android 17, hesitant at first, nodded in agreement, half hoping they would be hostile. Piccolo bound into the air, his aura flashed only once as he took his first step, then it died. Android 17 noticed this, but figured it was just something the Namekian did to take flight, what he didn?t know was it was his Shapechanging ability once again taking over his mind.
Before, when Piccolo had just earned his Shapechanging abilities, the Namekian had little, if any control over the technique, instead, it controlled him. And it seemed that with the strain on his mind, the technique was once again coming forward, taking control. He would keep a close eye on his Namekian counterpart, for he wasn?t going to be alone, not yet at least. They made a great killing duo and only together did they truly stand a chance.
Following closely behind Piccolo, Android 17 began to wonder who these two new energies were. A few thoughts had been there, but with a lack of ki sense and a scouter, it made it difficult to pick up on anything. Maybe it would be two people with extraordinary powers that would join them and then they could kill off everyone else as a group. But the thought that they maybe super powerful also shook up the android, what if they were hostile. He and Piccolo had fought long and hard against the semi-powerful Piccolo Diamoun and it was Piccolo?s Super Namekian technique that actually finished the elder Namekian off, but now both were weakened, but how much?
Flying across hundreds of acres of the seemingly never ending wasteland, Piccolo suddenly changed direction, swooping down to the ground, a figure stood darkly in the distance. As they approached the figure, the Namekian came to the ground, landing just feet from the new warrior. The fighter had watched the Namekian and Android approach, but had hoped that they would continue on their path, away from him. Obviously, they did not. What did these two beings want?
Piccolo smiled. He had remembered who this figure was, though he was doubtful that he knew who the Android and Namekian duo were. Sticking out his hand, the fighter took his hand and shook it. Knowing that he wasn?t hostile, Android 17 followed suit, shaking the mysterious warriors hand.
?Long time no see, Bido.? Spoke the Namekian carefully, shaking the darkness from his voice.
Bido shook his head back at the Namekian and Android. He had been walking for a while now and was slightly happy to see that the first people he met actually know him. Squinting, trying to remember who this green man and white boy were. Suddenly, he remembered one of the two.
?Ah.? Spoke Bido surely of himself. ?Piccolo. That?s right, but you, I don?t seem to remember you.?
Android 17 smirked.
?The name?s 17.? Spoke the android smartly. He was excited to see that the warrior wasn?t hostile, but still slightly disappointed. His blood lust was still surging through his mind. He wanted to kill, but he wouldn?t go against his partner Piccolo. He had promised the Namekian he wouldn?t and he was a man of his word.
?I was wondering if we could continue onward with you.? Spoke the Namekian smartly. ?There is one other person just north of here, would you care to join us??
Bido thought it over for a moment. A Namekian and an Android. A very unlikely duo, but something was different about the Namekian. He had felt his energy just minutes ago, why? What reason did he have to push his body that far? Whom had he fought?
?One question.? Bido retorted. ?Do you feel that other energy??
Piccolo nodded. He had felt that dark energy, but his scouter was unable to pick up a location on it. It seemed that he could sense it with his ki, but some how, the energy was cloaked from scouters. Glancing into the distance Bido had pointed to, Piccolo once again felt the dark ki. It was closer now, he could now make out a more exact location now. It was just west of the other ki signature.
?I feel it.? Spoke Piccolo. ? I felt it a while back, right as I picked up on your energy and the other, who I?m thinking is Toma.?
Android 17 looked at Piccolo, how could he know something like that? To just see an energy reading then know exactly who it is, it just didn?t make sense. The Namekian, seeing the look on his partners face, answered swiftly.
?I took a reading and recording of every fighter, all thirty-two, when we all first arrived on the asteroid. I thought it?d come in handy later on.? Instructed the Namekian. ?And this reading copies the same reading the Sayajin Toma had recorded.?
Both 17 and Bido where both slightly impressed.
?So how?s about it?? The Namekian asked again. ?Join us??
Bido thought over the proposition one last time. Being a loner meant following no rules and no fear of backstabbing, however, moving in a group promised a longer life span and more protection and with this other ki signature, Bido wasn?t sure being alone was the best option.
?Are you sure it?s Toma?? Asked Bido.
Piccolo checked his scouter once again, the ki signature matched easily with Toma?s. There was very little doubt in Piccolo?s mind that it was anyone else. Turning back to Bido, Piccolo smiled.
?No doubt in my mind.? Replied the Namekian.
Bido placed his hand on his chin and thought out the proposition one more time.
?Let?s go.? Commanded Bido. ?If Toma is alone with this other person, there?s no telling how long he?ll last.?
Piccolo turned to Android 17 and smiled. Their lonesome duo had just become a trio and hopefully, they would add one more member to the group. Their chances of survival had just increased tremendously, for now. No one really knew what kind of power this ?other person? held, but they all agreed that if they combined powers, they had a much better chance at surviving.
One after another, the three warriors took to the air, Piccolo leading the charge, followed closely by Android 17 and Bido. Toma was walking through the wasteland, his power slightly suppressed. It wouldn?t take long for the trio to find the Sayajin, the only issue was, would Toma join them, or fight against them?
