King Kai's words while telepathic, were told to everyone on the lookout like listening to a radio, his tone sounded worried. I only heard that letting this Demigra get away was a mistake, one I would like to rectify at the earliest convenience but now we were going to have to Namek and just wait for Turles and his Crusher Corps to arrive before we do. Easy, we had 'Instant Transmission' while this slivering Saiyan who was more a snake then monkey would have to fly there in his ship, giving us and advantage.
The Namekian's could be brought to Earth… or Sadala for a small amount of time while those guys were fought and dealt with finality. Killing Turles again… I'm going to enjoy that.
King Kai continued, Dende standing with worry for his own people as we took in more of King Kai's words.
"I see you've all fought a battle, so choose those among you and head for Namek. I will warn Moori post haste. There is a silver-lining, they seem content to take their spaceship towards Namek and since you all need no ship to visit Namek, only my or Dende's assistance in properly locking-onto Namek, you could go there in fourteen day's time and have plenty of time to prepare, get the Namekian people to safety as they will arrive in fifteen day's time." King kai's voice stopped for a moment, before adding.
"I'll keep an eye on them, anyway, let Dende know if things have changed." Vegeta cackled, speaking up through his laughter, while a few of those here only glared at him for his interrupting the peaceful moment of silence his annoying cackle wrought.
"Fifteen days preparation! I can train for fourteen and get there all on a full stomach! If you call this dire, tell me… why I am laughing! Fifteen days time and this Turles bastard and any who follow him shall wish they stayed in that hole where they have been until now!" Raditz quickly turned, ignoring Vegeta while speaking.
"So which of us shall face this guy, I wouldn't mind-" Vegeta interrupted, pointing a finger at himself.
"-I will go, that much is certain.
"And I'll be the one taking you all there, might as well utilize me to take the Namekian's to Earth for their safety." Raven said after Vegeta, then pointing towards Piccolo.
"You and Tien can use 'Instant Transmission', you two can also come. The more of us ferrying those Namekian's off-world the faster I get to finishing playing the hero." Piccolo nodded, Tien nodded once when Piccolo replied to Raven.
"The Crusher Corps… those guys were tougher than they look. The years they have been hiding, they have cultivated that large tree of Might that they use and from that, gathered powerful fighting powers. Will need to consider bringing those only stronger or strong as myself… at my best. It was at my best that I was while fighting them that they showed their tenacity." Cumber growled, stomping a foot into the marble as he shrugged.
"Fourteen days time, I will carve this Crusher Corps into bone." Dabura chuckled from nearby, Mira looking eager as the three-eyed demon spoke.
"We we're going to begin training anyhow what, with that tournament of universes being sorted and I want in on that. A fifteenth day brawl with someone capable of remaining enshrouded in the shadows, biding his time for revenge… I would love to see the sight in his eyes when he realizes we've made precautions to end whatever plans he and his allies have been meticulous about." Gohan ignored Dabura's devious words and replied to Piccolo.
"You can count me in on this if you wish, I've been sticking to my training. I can be of some help at least, against this Crusher Corps Turles has working for him." Goku then chuckled, garnering a glare from Vegeta from his irritating laughter.
"Yeah, count in on me too. I'd like to fight that guy as well, remember him interrupting me and Vegeta's first fight back when you Vegeta and Nappa over there first arrived on Earth. I'd like to see where I am at compared to that guy… though he does remind me of Kron, you know? In the looks department." I and Turles had a similar appearance, so I just shrugged while Zangya scowled and Pyrrha spoke, seemingly to have taken offense on my behalf.
"That guy is small in stature compared to Kron here, and not even good looking. Hair aside. I imagine Kron will be coming too." Pyrrha began, looking at me for a moment before she continued.
"But he, Zangya and I have to leave now. Fifteen days is fifteen days and we've got prior arrangement's right at this moment. Alright, Kron. 'Instant Transmission' us back home, things might have gotten… tense there." she held her gaze, firm and brooking no room for refusal though I did the clever thing and made myself a clone right then and there, where the clone would learn of whatever else needed to be said before dispelling after. She, Winter, Zangya and I then readied ourselves to head out, the others ignoring us now. Winter whispered into my side, nodding towards the two girls moving through the crowd, the Jaina from that alternate timeline and Cinder as well.
"Kron, they look like they want to come with us as well, so hold up for a moment." Winter whispered into my side, then taking my left hand into her own and her other arm interlinking with Zangya's arm, which made her pout in a annoyed way while seeing that Pyrrha also took a hold of my other hand.
I noticed Jaina approach me, Cinder following after her with her eyes avoiding Zangya's glare, with Winter moving herself in front of her old rival…
"Take my hand Cinder… and keep quiet, we're going to be letting you and that Towa girl in... or maybe not." Winter glared, Cinder smiling as she replied.
"Will see my dear." which only served to annoy Winter some more, Zangya looked to be backing Winter up. In a word, this meeting would be a 'mess'.
(Tien-POV)
Soon enough, after enough back and forth, what looked to be half an hour of discussion, out of all those assembled on the damaged lookout, those going would besides himself are; Vegeta, Raven, Kron, Piccolo, Goku, Gohan, Cumber, Raditz and Zangya. More then enough of them to go after this Turles guy and his crew of bastards, anymore of them and there would be a large number of them getting in the way. Though with fourteen days to prepare for such a confrontation, Vegeta seemed pleased, even amused with their capability to arrive on time and face off against such rogues as these while they were restricted to flying in space.
Yang decided to stay home, she wanted to join the big tournament and seen us going after the rogue Saiyan and his band of criminals as her chance to close the distance between themselves, of which he accepted her challenge and they planned their training schedule accordingly. As of now, Tien and Yamcha we're heading for Kame house, to ask Master Roshi to train them some more, in technique then any of the basics.
"Two days have gone fast, King Kai hasn't reported back so that's twelve days to go. Your lucky baseball isn't in season for me, had to tell the coach I was cashing in on my holidays paycheck."
"Come on man, you've been slacking and even with all these strong guys around on our side, you could be chosen for the tournament or heck, whatever rules qualify us as a contestant could be dropped on all of our heads. They be gods after all, they run on a different level than us 'mortals'." Yamcha shrugged, arms now crossed as he turned to face him as they flew through the air at a leisurely pace, replying to Tien after a moment.
"Well, I just hope I'm not picked is all. I'll train for it though, could be the right thing to do encase I'm picked. Though listen bro, it is annoying getting stronger these days, what with baseball as I've got to hold back my power all the time. My Ki control is excellent actually… heh. Might be better than yours-"
"-Which is why I say you should be training with us still, Chiaotzu will be pleased he has someone he can go all out against too. Yang isn't that pleased with your lecherous gaze but allowed you to get away with it… on condition you didn't complain when she delivered a harder beating than normal. My giving you a beating right after." Yamcha chuckled, ki exploding from him as he used 'Kaio-Ken' times… must be just times ten, Yamcha calling out to him as he sped off.
"Whatever dude, I won't go ogling your missus and that way, you can keep that neanderthal of a wife far away from my prized jewels. Hey, will make Eighteen and Yang spar whenever she gets the itch to beat on one of us, while us dudes break up into groups… I'll be sparring with Krillin-"
"-We're here." Yamcha turned, their gazes sighting the tiny island on the horizon and they touched down on the beach. Eighteen and Seventeen were seen though not sensed, far off in the distance where the clouds were converging around them, their spar remained unnoticed until Tien and Yamcha were on the island.
"Ah, lads. You got here in the nick of time. Krillin will be here soon. Sixteen and he were just heading to take Maron to Bulma's. Sit a spell, those two have being going against each other all day."
"Well with their unlimited reserves, there isn't much that can hold them from going all out. Master Roshi, the training… will you be teaching us every technique you got in your arsenal? Twelve days until Tien leaves us for Namek. I was-" Yamcha paused, a Namekian had touched down nearby with what felt was a clone of Kron, Tien remembered this one to be Nail.
"-I thought you were all here, Nail wanted to spar with someone in his power range and I thought of you or Seventeen, Tien. Nail, this is Master Roshi and this his island. You will probably be fighting over the ocean around the island or somewhere else." Tien, Yamcha and Roshi watched the Namekian carefully, this one guy was a regular visitor of Earth as he came regularly to either spar with Kron, Piccolo or help train Dende. Tien knew him a little but they didn't mingle that much compared to some of the others.
"Hmm, thanks Kron. You may disperse. I'll see you soon." the clone nodded, vanishing from sight, not dispelling as he left via 'instant Transmission', Nail turning to them and cracking his neck.
"So, Kron is alive… I thought with that with that Towa girl and also the Cinder girl, he'd be uh, heh… to busy to be offering you 'Instant Transmission' teleportation's, Nail. I am Yamcha, nice to meet you bro." Yamcha approached him, Nail stretching his arms and legs in preparation, replying through breaths.
"Hmm? He seemed fine to me when I came calling. As I was told, the Cinder girl and that Towa girl were training with a couple of Kron's clones, his real self training with Cumber, Dabura, Mira and Zangya elsewhere. Don't ask me what sort of love life he leads, I only know that he and his group were all decided on their meeting." Tien heard also, also didn't matter to him much anyway. Let Kron do whoever he pleases, as long as the guy helped them with the tournament coming up, just like the previous one… Tien had no care who he copulated with.
"Yang was surprised about the Cinder girl, told me she used to be an enemy… one time long ago when Yang, Blake, Weiss, Winter and Pyrrha were all young teenagers, like Kron was. That changed, along with some others, like Raven, the woman Salem, Yang's half sister Ruby and her revived mother, who lived on Earth with Tien's father-in law Tai, in Satan City, where they moved some five years past.
"Well… since we're all here, why don't we get this training session started then. No need to wait around, sitting around while we rot. Getting any of your techniques down-pat is why I came to you Master Roshi."
"Indeed, Tien. Will begin soon enough, just as soon as the last one arrives." Tien looked to Nail and then to Yamcha, Yamcha replying.
"Chiaotzu… who else is joining us, Krillin?" Krillin nodded at the sky, Tien following his gaze. His eyes narrowed, sensing that in that direction, Chiaotzu and… Raditz was flying together. Raditz?
"Raditz, that's uh… interesting." Master Roshi shrugged, gleaming eyes hidden behind his sunglasses while his hands were to his back, gazing up at Seventeen and Eighteen's sparring session.
"He wanted to learn the 'Kame Hame Wave' as well and I figured with him being Goku's brother, I would consider teaching him it if he decided to come, train with other disciples. So, fourteen days time and then you'll be facing this Saiyan. Turles… I heard from Krillin here that he was one of the many who escaped the other world. He and his crew of pirates." the fight up above was winding down, Seventeen with his newly upgraded body and power was far too strong for Eighteen to sometimes get a win against, her clothes were ragged as they landed on the beach and approached them, Master Roshi's subtle giggle he thought was kept to himself was clear to see from Tien, an annoyed Krillin and smirking Yamcha.
Sixteen also closed in on them, nodding at Nail in a friendly manner, which Nail matched. Eighteen looking to Krillin for their capsule Tien supposed as Krillin threw it to her before she headed for the house. Seventeen stretched his neck, punching Yamcha in the arm when he spat by him, speaking up when Raditz and Chiaotzu landed.
"Alright Krillin, Sixteen. I'll be off. Have fun with this little training session yeah. Got other things to do. Heh, Raditz as well. Anyway, have fun lads." Seventeen took off, Tien and the others watching him fly off, quickly.
(Piccolo-POV)
Two days passed, with twelve left until they were meant to head for Namek once more. The same problem being the dragon balls were once more targeted by some idiot with thoughts of using them for nefarious purposes and Piccolo was pushing himself. As of the moment, he, Goku, Gohan and Bardock were fighting in a brawl, sparring somewhere near Goku's place, Bardock at his strongest wasn't a threat for he was sent towards the earth in a spiral more than ten times.
"!!" Gohan, transformed in his 'Super Saiyan Four', Goku using only 'Super Saiyan Blue' and Bardock within 'Super Saiyan', Piccolo himself kept up with Goku and Gohan both due to his 'God Ki form'. Flickering through everyone in this brawl, their spilling over into the mountains from the forested area near the Goku's residence. Goten and his sister Gine were nearby watching them, finished off their own sparring with their father an hour prior before Piccolo arrived.
"Haaaaaaagh!" intense, lighting quick speeds kept him, Gohan and Goku in a whirlwind of fighting stances, flickering across the sky while Bardock took his time in joining back in, flickering over to sit with his other grand kids, Gohan punting him out of the sky again before he decided to leave the fight.
Firing off a yellow blast at Goku, Gohan afterimaged into his side and laid a brutal melee onslaught into Piccolo's exposed right side, Goku fighting the beam off with a kick upwards, the beam detonating higher up. Piccolo whipped his left hand towards Gohan at Piccolo's right side, then turning to engage him in combat, blows taken by his blocks and given in retaliation, Gohan landing and blocking as well. Goku came into their melee exchange, joining in where now Piccolo and Gohan had to block more blows, launching either to each other or Goku, Goku taking their attacks head-on as well.
Goku knocked a punch into the underside of Piccolo's chin, Piccolo's hands extended and grabbed a hold of Goku's shoulders, firing two Ki-blasts point-blank, the beams piercing through Goku's shoulders, Gohan flickering behind Piccolo grunting from the pain, Gohan sweeping him with a agile kick into the side of Piccolo's head. Piccolo and Goku were knocked downwards into the planet in two different directions, Piccolo and Goku shouting almost in tandem as their Ki engulfed them both, a sphere almost invisible while a loud boom from each of them sounded out. Halting themselves, Goku flickered upwards while Piccolo engulfed himself in his Ki, preparing to 'gigantify' himself for a little while when Gohan shouted towards them.
"Hey! Dad, Piccolo! Will call it here alright, otherwise we're going to crater the upside of this here mountain… mother wouldn't appreciate the mess. We aught to find somewhere else to do these brawls now, what with our power being this high now." Goku flickered over to his son, Piccolo landing as his transformation malted from his body, the color changing from orange to his usual green.
"Right, twelve days now. With King Kai keeping an eye out for any problems due to that guy, we've got the time to waste in doing these sparring matches. I should stop following your lead Goku, your insistence in interrupting my own training is… bothersome." Goku chuckled, waving down at him in as if to tell him to 'relax', Goku speaking while Bardock, Gine and Goten rose upwards to their height in the air.
"Like old times it is Piccolo, and with twelve days until we head to Namek and fight that Turles guy… testing yourself against someone able to match you is a fun way to see how far you've come. Well then Goten, Gine. Will head home, get something to eat yeah!"
"Sure, thing dad, afterwards I want to train with you, but I'll ask mom." Goten flew towards Gohan, seeing him off as Gine followed her younger brother, floating up and Gohan gave her a quick cuddle, then flying off. Bardock coughed nearby, Piccolo already deciding he would head to Yunzabit heights and continue his meditation, his God Ki the focus.
"Right Kakarot, I'll head home with you lot. See that daughter in-law. She won't kick me out this time yeah, that girl can cook…" his voice was lost to Piccolo's ears, flying off in another direction to where Gohan flew off to.
