So, here's a new part! It's a little longer.


By the way, Son Goku can recognize the strength of his opponents even without a scouter, or am I wrong?






"Well, well. You have 24 hours. Then you're back here. These two," he pointed to Goten and Trunks. “I'll keep it here as a guarantee.” He grinned coldly and then turned away from the two fighters.




Immediately Piccolo and Vegeta made their way to Gotte`s palace. "Even if we train in the space of spirit and time, we still have no chance. So what are you going to do, Piccolo?" Piccolo looked at Vegeta. "We have no choice but the space of mind and time. Or do you have a better idea?" he ruled the Sajajin. Vegeta looked at him perplexed, but said nothing to Piccolo's amazement. "Sorry Vegeta. I've lost my temper," the Namek admitted. "It's okay." It came back from Vegeta. Piccolo was flat. Was that really Vegeta?The proud and indomitable Sajajin? Was Vegeta just as exhausted as he was? This monster had only been on earth for an hour and had already defeated the most powerful warrior in the universe! It couldn't all be true!


The two landed on the platform. "There you are! Dende are waiting for you." Popo greeted them. Without another word, Piccolo walked past him and went into the palace where Dende was waiting for them. "What's your plan?" he asked directly. “We don't have one,” Piccolo admitted. "Is there any way to defeat this Karoon?" asked Vegeta. Judging by his voice, his mind had long since given up.


Dende was silent for a while. “Maybe, the Bodoran rings.” He then mumbled softly. Piccolo had understood him anyway. "That can't work. If Vegeta was still me, we'd be able to." He said. "What for? What is this all about?" Vegeta asked angrily. "The Bodoran rings are a kind of fusion.Entirely different beings can also merge with them. "Dende explained." Only if both of them have a perfectly pure heart. "Added Piccolo." So we can forget that because of me? "Vegeta said. His voice sounded strange. He didn't want the world and his family to end because of him!


“There is a possibility,” Dende said slowly. "But the risk is too great. The best thing to do is to fly a spaceship and the DB to a distant planet and wait until Karoon has disappeared." "That won't work. Karoon would look for us. And that goes with the rings as well not because Karoon`s aura destroys all fusions and metamorphoses! "


"The fusion of the Bodoran rings is indestructible. There is one way that the two of you can merge," said Dende. “The path of the Garones!” “The what?” Vegeta's face was a question mark. "The path of the Garones. You have to open it with the DB. You can always use the DB for this purpose.Then you have to walk the path to the end. You are not allowed to use any aids, you are not allowed to fly and you Vegeta, you are not allowed to transform yourself into an SSJ, in other words everything that normal people cannot do, you are not allowed to increase your fighting power up to a certain level, up to this level and You can't go higher .. If you disregard this rule, the entrance to this path closes, you would be trapped in it and the DB are then useless. At the end of the path there are two rubies that you put in the rings, then beings with dark or partially dark hearts can merge. "Explained Dende." How long would it take? "Asked Vegeta." I don't know. But time is running just as fast on this path as it is here. So you have to hurry. "" We will leave immediately. We don't have a choice anyway. "Said Piccolo." One more thing is important, if the entrance closes you will have to stay there forever.As soon as the entrance closes you are immortal! But you will wish you were dead! In addition, the Bodoran Association lasts for 1 year! "


"Never mind. Come on Piccolo!" Vegeta called impatiently.


"Do you ever get the DB!" said Piccolo and then went to Dende.


"What's the matter with Vegeta?" asked this. "I don't know, but Karoon kept Trunks there as a kind of pledge. I think he's worried about his son!"


After about 20 minutes Vegeta was back. With a loud voice he called the dragon and asked him to open the entrance to the path of the Garon. As soon as Shenlong was gone, a kind of gate suddenly lit up in front of them. Glaring light streamed out so that everyone present had to protect their eyes. Piccolo stared spellbound at the gate that slowly became visible, the light disappeared and the entrance became visible. Piccolo was amazed the gate was studded with rubies and jewels, it looked like the entrance to a lock.But it was the entrance to hell, he knew that. "Here we go!" he said and looked at Vegeta who nodded and the two walked side by side through the portal.




It was hot and there was a dead wasteland around them. Here and there there were isolated and dried up bushes. The earth was cracked, dry and reddish in color. Next to the path meandered a lava river from which a tremendous heat emanated. "That's how I imagine hell." Vegeta said and looked around in amazement. The two walked slowly on. "Do we have something to drink with us?" Vegeta asked suddenly. "No, you are not allowed to take any tools with you." Vegeta snorted and walked faster.


Then he stopped abruptly. A huge gorge stretched before them. It was way too wide to jump over. "Great, what do we do now?" Vegeta grumbled. “Climb down and back up on the other side.” Piccolo said calmly and started to descend.Vegeta grumbled to himself and then stepped down the cliff behind Piccolo. The climbing tour turned out to be more difficult than expected and Piccolo sometimes slipped.


Vegeta came up first, panting and sweating. He gave Piccolo his hand, which he took with a smile. It wasn't until a moment later that Vegeta realized what he had done. He had actually helped this green thing. He grumbled and went on, Piccolo followed.


The temperature suddenly changed. It was freezing cold and the area was now like an ice desert. Icy wind hit the two of them and especially Vegeta had to fight it with all her might. The wind was blowing harder and harder and Piccolo also had trouble keeping himself on his feet. They made slow progress and Vegeta staggered more and more until he finally lost his balance and was thrown towards Piccolo.


This helped him to his feet then grabbed his arm and pulled him behind him.

Vegeta was uncomfortable with the whole thing. He didn't like being dependent on the "green" at all. Fortunately, the wind soon eased. “How much time do we have left?” Vegeta asked. "About 18 hours."


Vegeta sighed and then moved on. Soon the landscape changed again. It got warmer and more humid. There were plants everywhere, it looked like the tropical rainforest, only there were no animals here.


Piccolo was sweating, was there no climate here that was halfway bearable?


They had been running for a while and still no obstacle had appeared, that worried Piccolo. "Shouldn't there be another danger soon?" Vegeta asked as if he had read his mind. “Actually yes.” Piccolo looked around searchingly. Vegeta also stopped and looked closely at the area. Piccolo passed him. Suddenly he noticed that he was bagging somewhere. He looked down at himself and saw that he was already up to his knees in a kind of swamp.He tried to free himself and to increase his fighting strength, but it did not succeed. Meanwhile Vegeta had rushed to him and offered his hand to the Namek. Vegeta didn't even know why he kept helping this green guy. Vegeta tugged at Piccolo with all his might, but since he, too, only possessed the strength of a human. Didn't he manage to free him? He had to try another way. He released Piccolo and climbed a tree. Then he threw him the end of a vine. Vegeta was standing on a branch against which he supported himself and pulled with all his strength at the same time. Millimeter by millimeter, he freed Piccolo from the sticky broth. When he was finally breathing heavily on the floor next to Vegeta, it occurred to him that Vegeta had already helped him twice. Even if he really didn't like the proud Sajajin, he was grateful to him, but he had no intention of showing him that and so he got up without another word. "Don't you at least want to say thank you?" asked Vegeta. "No."Piccolo's voice sounded harsh and scornful. That was too much for Vegeta. He jumped up and


Yelled at Piccolo. "Say, do you think I'm here for fun? If I didn't need you for the merger, I'd kill you!" Piccolo grinned. Vegeta was a good 3 or 4 heads shorter than him and he wasn't allowed to float. Vegeta noticed this too and since he hated it when he had to look up at someone he turned away. "How do we actually want to get over there?" he asked now in a bad mood. "I don't know." "Then think about it!" the Sajajin ruled at him. "Don't get so upset, you poisonous dwarf!" Replied Piccolo. Vegeta, stared at him like he wanted to kill him right away. Piccolo was grinning again. That sat! "I don't have to put up with that from a weak cucumber! I'm the prince of the Sajajin!" poached Vegeta back. Piccolo gasped for air. He hated it when someone made fun of a body color."The prince of the Sajajin? Which Sajajin? Son Goku, is the only Sajajin next to you and he is stronger than you!" Piccolo said and smiled wickedly. "You, you dare? .." "Yes?" Piccolo knew that Vegeta had nothing more to say. Vegeta grumbled something incomprehensible and climbed the tree to get to the other side of the swamp from there. Piccolo did the same. On the other side, Vegeta walked on without turning around. Somehow Piccolo felt guilty. He shouldn't have been so mean to Vegeta, after all, Vegeta had helped him. But he too had his pride and so he said nothing. They walked side by side in silence and did not even try to look at the other. Soon the environment changed
