So, now finally comes the next part, part 6. A storm was brewing over them.




Flashes of lightning flashed across the pitch-black sky and lit the area for just a blink of an eye. One of the lightning bolts struck a rock so that some rocks came loose, which made Piccolo barely noticeably flinch. Vegeta noticed anyway. "Are you afraid of the thunderstorm, cucumber?" asked he. His voice was oozing with mockery. "No!" Piccolo growled angrily. That wasn't entirely true, he hated the loud noises of the thunder and if Vegeta hadn't been here, he would have covered his ears. Under these circumstances, however, he pretended not to mind. "Vegeta?" "Hm?" Piccolo hesitated, "Oh nothing." He said then and Vegeta growled.


Actually he would have wanted to apologize, but he didn't want to stand there as a wimp and so he was silent. He didn't like the silence between them. Even if he didn't want to admit it, he would have loved to hear a few words from Vegeta or any other living being.

After a while, when Piccolo's silence got too stupid, he tried again with an apology. "Vegeta?" the addressed just hummed. "Sorry, I didn't mean that about the poison dwarf. And" that word was the hardest for him. "Thank you." Since Vegeta said nothing, he continued. “I think we should at least behave like friends until we're through this.” “Friends? You're crazy. Besides, there is no“ we ”, there has never been one and there will never be one and without I wouldn't even have a "you"! So shut up greenling. " replied Vegeta coldly. Piccolo looked astonished at the Sajajin. He didn't expect Vegeta to react that nasty. On the other hand, he hadn't deserved better and so he complied with Vegeta's request and was silent.




They were barely 2 hours away when the environment changed again.


The sky suddenly shone in all the colors of the rainbow, birds were singing and flowers were blooming everywhere.A light wind was blowing and the sun was pleasantly warm. Vegeta liked the climate but found the surroundings horrible! Piccolo seemed to feel the same way. He too thought the landscape was idiotic! He didn't know whether to laugh or howl. The world threatened to end, their lives were in danger and stupid birds were singing here! That was just grotesque!


But at least, Piccolo consoled himself, there wouldn't be too many obstacles here. How wrong he was!


He walked a bit behind Vegeta and stared at the floor, he was bored. And although the fate of the world depended on him! "Hey, pickle!" Vegeta interrupted his thoughts. "How much longer do we have to walk? It's going to be boring, nothing happens here ..." He didn't get to finish the word because he hit something hard. "What?" he looked around, distraught, nothing special to be seen in front of him. But when he tried to go on, he ran into this seemingly invisible wall again."What's happening?" Piccolo asked, he had to pull himself together to swallow the caustic comment that was on his tongue. "Here is a wall" growled Vegeta Piccolo`s face was like a question mark, he ran past Vegeta, and promptly against the wall.


As the two soon found contrite, she went right and left. When they were back on the path, both were sweating, it was hotter than they had thought.


"And what are we doing now?" Vegeta grumbled angrily. "Maybe we can climb over?" Piccolo said thoughtfully. "And what if we are not allowed to fly?" Vegeta continued to grumble. Piccolo asked, grinning. When he saw Vegeta`s face he could hardly suppress a laugh, he had never seen the proud Sajajin prince so horrified. "You don't mean that seriously?" he stuttered. "Do you have a better idea?"


Vegeta grumbled a little to himself, but then tried to get on Piccolo's shoulders, which he couldn't quite succeed."Do you have to wiggle like that?" Vegeta ruled the Namekian. "Why do you need so long?" Piccolo replied angrily. When Vegeta was just standing on Piccolo's shoulders and had realized that the wall was actually open at the top, he fell to the ground and landed painfully on his four letters. Piccolo grinned, but then offered his hand to Vegeta. First Vegeta wanted to accept her, but then she bumped into one another and climbed onto Piccolo again. The wall was about three feet wide so that Vegeta could stand on it. "And how are we supposed to get you on here now?" he asked Piccolo. "I also do not know that yet?" said the addressed. "Try to pull me up!" he said then. “Remember, my strength is limited.” Vegeta Piccolo warned, nodded at him, and then took the hand the Sajajin held out to him. At that moment they were allies fighting together for the lives of their friends, but once they were on the other side they would act like enemies again.Vegeta had to work hard to pull Piccolo onto the wall, but after about 10 minutes he had done it. "Thank you." Piccolo said and a smile crossed his face, then jumped off the wall. Vegeta followed him. "How much time do we have left, Piccolo?" he asked after a while. The Namek paused, Vegeta had actually addressed him by his name! "Another 5 hours, we have to hurry, remember that we have to go back too!" answered Piccolo. "What? How are we supposed to do that?" "On the way back we can use our full strength, the obstacles disappear and we are merged!" Piccolo said calmly. "Still we should hurry," he added.


They kept walking, soon the environment changed one more time. The weather was pleasant and the sun was shining, there was water around it, nothing but water.




Suddenly Piccolo noticed a flash, a glitter. It was from the Bodoran jewels!"Up there, we made it!" he shouted. The two ran. There they lay, the two rings and the two jewels, one red and one blue. Piccolo put the jewels in the rings. "Which one do you want?" he asked Vegeta, "The fusion will look like the person wearing the ring with the red jewel." "Then I want the red one!" Vegeta said definitely. He took the ring and put it on his finger, but Piccolo hesitated. "What is?" Vegeta asked impatiently. "Wouldn't it be better if you and Son Goku merged? You'd be much stronger," he said. "No! I hate Kakarott! And besides, we won't make it back in time." Piccolo took one last look at the ring and then slipped it on. A warm shiver ran through his body, he felt completely free. Vegeta felt this too, he felt free, he wasn't afraid of the fusion. When he was supposed to fuse with Kakarott, he had felt trapped, but this time he liked it.A glow surrounded the two warriors, and then they were one. An incredible force ran through the new fighter. 'What are we actually called?' Thought Piccolo. Both could still think for themselves, but spoke and acted together. 'Of course Vegeta, we look like that too, after all.' 'Ts, Piccolo sounds a lot better. <> What about Pegeta? Or Viccolo? Mhh, Sharon! That's what I always wanted to be called! If it has to be <


"Maybe we should stop arguing about a name and make our way back."
