the other end of the line sounded almost frightened. "We have discovered a small ship ... it's that of the people you are looking for. Shall we ..." Excellent! He didn't even have to look for them, they came to him! "Now force you to land on the next planet, and then take courses there!" This circumstance would save him time and work ... "And now zz to you, Ssspirit! You are about to merge with me ..."



A strong jerk that snatched the steering wheel from Dende's hand ... and then they rushed towards the next planet. "Did I do something wrong?!" Dende asked both worried and excited. "No, I don't think so ... Let me take the wheel!" Dende jumped from the pilot's chair and Sita took over again. She quickly checked the ads ... nothing. He hadn't made the slightest mistake. Actually, this idiosyncratic maneuver by the ship shouldn't even come about. And yet they were on a direct course to the planet in front of them ... Piccolo and Vegeta, who both had noticed the shock, of course, stormed through the cabin door at the same time ... rather they TRIED to get through the door at the same time. Of course they didn't fit through together, which gave cause to resume their argument ... "Shut up, you two! We have completely different problems than your childish games!" that at least they wouldn't burn up in the atmosphere or crash to the ground.The landing turned out to be anything but gentle ... There was a rumble, and the shock threw everyone who wasn't sitting to the ground. As soon as Bulma got back on her feet, she started to complain ... "Can't we at least end up on a beautiful planet once ?!" she asked annoyed. And really, this planet was everything ... just not beautiful. A rocky landscape ... black and dark gray. Cold, darkly shimmering plains, criss-crossed by ditches that are kilometers deep. And over the whole a purple-pink sky ... Bulma was thrilled. "All that's missing are the yellow lightning bolts and the dying unicorn ... then it looks like one of those kitsch posters!" They tried to start again, but to no avail. Something was holding them to the ground ... getting out was the only option they had left. As they descended the ramp, the blow hit them ... only good that Vegeta and Sita, followed by Piccolo, had gone ahead. The gravity of the planet was enormous ... While the first two only exchanged astonished looks, Piccolo was thrown hard on the ground.He laboriously crawled back into the interior of the ship ... here the force of gravity was artificially regulated and he could stand again without any problems. Had Dende or Bulma gone outside, they would have crushed the weight of their own bodies. Piccolo held his chest, his face contorted with pain, he had broken a few ribs in his fall, the impact must have been harder than he had first thought. Even Vegeta wasn't badly impressed ... "Man ... Phew ... That must be at least 400G. No wonder it flattened the cucumber!" - "I should have checked the ads ... Sorry, Piccolo ! "-" Alright ... alright, Sita. Who is expecting ... because ... something like that ... "Nothing was good ... How could she have made such a beginner's mistake? Just by the size of the planet she should have recognized that it was a Super-G world. Being so careless didn't look like her at all ... Thanks to Dende's healing abilities, Piccolo felt better after a few moments, but it was still impossible for him to leave the ship.It's a good thing that Vegeta trained under such high gravity and that he was now able to help Sita to find the problem. But despite an intensive search, the two could not find the slightest clue why they could not start again. Neither on the ship nor in the immediate vicinity there seemed to be anything unusual or special that could be responsible for their starting difficulties ...


What our friends didn't even begin to suspect: They were being watched from a distance. Master was very pleased ... really. And that meant something. He had feared that fate would thwart his plans. And now it was even on his side ... And then he had taken the trouble to put that idiot Zoa on her. Where was that anyway? Anyway ... The Master had absorbed one of the spirits and added his power to his own, and the planet on which the battle for the second spirit would take place was ideal.Thanks to the enormous force of gravity, three out of five couldn't take part. And one of the remaining two was still a complete beginner. Only this woman with the white hair could be dangerous to him. She had the strength ... and worse, the experience ... to beat him. Well, I guess it was time to introduce yourself ...


As the master approached our friends' ship, they all noticed at the same time that something was wrong ... "How sweet ... five worms!" Involuntarily Piccolo, Vegeta and Sita gasped for air ... From this guy an indescribable power ran out. Not in the form of energy, his aura could not be felt, but ... "Then I want to introduce myself ... I am the master of darkness. And you have something that I want ... the Ssspirit!" Without further warning, the dark master began the fight ...




There was dead silence ... nobody said a word.Why ... why did she have to buy her escape from the planet so dearly? Vegeta stared at his hands ... if only he had reacted a little faster ... maybe Sita would still be alive now. Things started to go wrong the moment this stranger showed up ... He launched a huge aura attack. Vegeta couldn't say exactly what this attack was supposed to represent ... it looked like a huge, blood-red tidal wave ... Sita just managed to parry the wave. At the same time she threw a light blue beam of light at the stranger ... He didn't even bother to fend off or evade him, he just let him bounce back ... Sita's concern at this point should have given him pause too. Maybe he should have supported her by now ... But at first it looked like she didn't need any help. And what could Vegeta have done big? Sita and the stranger had long been fighting on a level where he could not keep up with his limited knowledge for a long time.The techniques used became more and more impressive ... Sita hadn't even hinted at such a force ... While Vegeta, actually completely atypical for him, reproached himself, the mood of the others wasn't any better either. Piccolo, like Vegeta, also reproached himself ... It annoyed him that he had to look on inactive. It didn't matter that he couldn't have done anything ... but that he HAD DONE nothing. Just having to watch others fight ... He felt like a pathetic coward. He should have done something. Something ... When it became apparent that Sita was inferior to the stranger, he should have taken the risk and come to her aid despite the force of gravity. Maybe he would have managed to stay on his feet outside the ship ... >> "Piccolo ... do something! The guy is killing them both!" - "And what ... please ... should I do Bulma ?!I can't put one foot in front of the other out there ... let alone fight! " - "You wimp! You're just scared! "<< Again and again these words echoed in his ears after >> Coward ... Coward ... You are a coward! << ... He didn't just feel like that ... He WAS a pathetic coward! Of course everything was more complete Piccolo wasn't a coward ... Bulma knew that, too, before. She had just been so worried. Calling Piccolo a coward ... she knew she had gone too far with that. She should talk to him sorry ... "Piccolo ... it ... I'm sorry. You're not a coward ... you never have been. "Piccolo looked her straight in the eye." Been ... no. But now I AM ... "Then he looked down again ... Bulma wasn't sure, but she believed that his eyes were wet. She hesitated at first, paused several times ... but then lay down put your hand on the shoulder of the great Namek.She could clearly feel his body trembling ... So she wasn't mistaken, he really fought back tears.That Piccolo could be so vulnerable ... Sita was dead. But the real disaster was different. The spirit was lost ... Bulma still saw the scene in front of her. Everything happened somehow at the same time ... "Make that you get away! I can't hold the sign for long!" - "I'm not a coward! I'm staying!" - "No discussion, Vegeta! Dende ... start, I'll follow you later ! "While Sita created and maintained an energy shield with one hand, which should protect them all from the last powerful attack of the stranger, she hurled Vegeta back into the ship with the other hand and a strong pressure wave. Dende, who had sat behind the wheel some time ago, had only been waiting for that. Thanks to Sita’s attacks, the stranger was distracted and could no longer hold the ship on the ground. He started and during the start he closed the hatch. And at the last moment, through the last narrow gap, Möbius, Vegeta's spirit, was pulled outside.Too late ... turning back was no longer possible. The spirit was pulled in the direction of the dark master, touched him and merged with his body with a brief flash. Against the combined strength of the master and the two spirits, Sita could no longer withstand ... her shield broke, the attack rushed towards her ... her four friends could only see how the entire planet exploded behind them in a huge fireball . Sita had found a cold grave ... and our friends were back at the beginning of their mission. No ... much worse. Her situation had worsened compared to before, if that was still possible ...
