And ... landed! Everyone was staring at the scrap metal that had just landed in front of the Capsule Corporation headquarters. “Our beautiful garden!” Wailed Prof. Briefs ... exhaled deeply, and ... a wing of the strange aircraft crashed to the ground with a thundering and squeaking noise. "Oops ... Was that me ?!" Of course it wasn't him, the part would have broken apart one way or another. When the exit hatch of this strange vehicle opened, everyone present had a strange feeling ... What if the passengers had come to attack them? Everyone looked at each other ... the whole group Z and a few others ... The front end of the hatch, which should really touch the ground, did this too ... a few moments later the rear one followed, which was definitely shouldn't hit the ground.It was broken off and slammed to the ground with a loud crash. "Well ..." began Kuririn "... if the combat strength of the occupants is similar to the condition of their ship ... then we don't need to worry!" - "We don't need that anyway, bald head!" Freezer snapped at him ...> Hach! You're so cute when you get upset ... Freezy baby my darling! <Everyone, except Freezer, of course, had to refrain from giggling ... And if you looked closely, you could believe that little puffs of smoke were coming from the ears of the former. That damn flare! "Hey ... look! Somebody's coming out!" This exclamation from Yamcha brought the general concentration back to the spaceship, and all the fighters present got ready to intervene if it should be necessary ... it was not necessary. Gohan was the first to notice ... "That's ... Piccolo!" he exclaimed when the big Namek jumped out of the ship onto the ground without the slightest effort, they were only six feet ... After that, however, he had to cough extensively, because obviously something was braised up inside.Piccolo first followed Vegeta, together with Bulma, and finally Dende, who was caught by Gohan. And then ... a general fit of laughter was the order of the day ... even Freezer rolled over with laughter. Goku was the first to find the language again ... "Hey ... Piccolo, Vegeta ... how ... how do you two look ?!" Of course he meant the clothes of the two ... "I'm warning you Kakarott ! Don't you dare make fun of me! And that goes for everyone here! "Vegeta was about to get a blood rush. However, Piccolo didn't seem to think that much differently about this ... "Vegeta is right! Besides ... it's not funny! The pants pinch a lot!" That was enough ... everyone had to laugh again. Suddenly Vegeta was pale at first ... then bright red with anger ... finally "FREEZER! Now it's your turn!" And already he pounced on the gray tail-bearer, which in Vegeta's opinion clearly should not be here. Vegeta's hair suddenly turned golden, his aura glowed bright red and a ball of energy formed in his hand ... it took the combined forces of Goku, Gohan and Piccolo to hold Vegeta back.Goku talked soothingly to the prince ... "Vegeta ... be sensible! ..." ChiChi thought he had misheard ... this word from her husband's mouth? But Goku continued ... "We have other problems now ... You surely didn't come back just for fun. So ... did you achieve something?" Vegeta took a few deep breaths ... especially deep ... . This lower class warrior was right, there were more important things ... "Yes, we're not back just for fun ... We know that someone is very uncomfortable on the way to earth ..." - "And what about the spirits? " Goku asked with a knowing smile. This time Piccolo replied "Vegeta had one ... but he lost it again ..." - "Hey cucumber! It wasn't my fault!" This one verd ... take it easy. "Did I say that? !! Anyway, WE have lost one ... we still have a second ... and our opponent had a third from the start. The fourth is supposed to be on earth ..." Now Goku grinned up to over both ears."Is he too ... Hey Freezer, come on! And bring your 'friend' with you ..." He had emphasized the word 'friend' strangely and some of the others had to giggle. Reluctantly, Freezer came with the little ball of light in tow. The four travelers' mouths opened in amazement ... FREEZER?!?! He of all people should have the fourth spirit? Well then good night! It was like fighting fire with fire ... Well, sometimes it worked.

They stood in the garden for some time. Everyone wanted to know, of course, how the other group had fared. They were surprised to find that the time had probably passed differently. While only two weeks had passed on earth, the group of seekers had been on the road for several months ... However, some piquant details were left out. For example, what Vegeta had experienced with Lyn-Dy ... or that Piccolo had burst into tears after his experiences on Temm-Ra. Well ... and finally ... "Gohan ... you make such a strange face ... What's wrong?"Damn it! Did his old mentor always have to notice when something was wrong?" Well ... uh ... Piccolo ... the thing is ... "Gohan turned around briefly, disappeared behind you for a moment Baum ... and when he came back he had a little Namek by the hand, and he didn't seem particularly pleased to be shown here like this ... Piccolo was astonished ... In fact, both Piccolos were amazed because, with the best will in the world, he couldn't explain how another Namek came to earth ... The younger one, because he had never known that there were others of his kind . "Where did he come from? And what 's his name? "Gohan swallowed ..." So ... Father and I ... we were in the past ... and we brought him with us. His name is ... "Now the little one interrupted him" My name is Piccolo! Devil Piccolo ... "If 'our' Piccolo had been surprised before, now he was flat ... He was facing himself!And since he still knew exactly how he had been at that age ... Well, if that would go well!

“Oh how touching!” Everyone suddenly turned around ... Somebody was standing on one of the nearby roofs! With a single jump he landed right in front of our friends. Gohan saw for the first time that Piccolo ... the adult ... was really scared. And Vegeta also gave the impression that he would rather have run away now than immediately. And ... somehow ... Gohan could even understand them. Even if the guy's aura wasn't really strong ... it was ... dark ... evil. "Hey ... why the panic? It's not that strong ..." Goku said almost happily. "Do you have any idea, Kakarott! If he wants, he'll make minced meat out of us!" Now Goku was worried, because if Vegeta admitted that someone was stronger than him ... Now the stranger spoke again, and his voice was freezing cold and seemed to cut the air. "Hm ... I already know the four of you ... It doesn't matter!Now I'll get what I came here for first! "Nobody was prepared for what was happening now ... least of all Freezer. This stranger grabbed his spirit ... and swallowed it!" That would give me three! "He said satisfied. And Goku couldn't believe his eyes ... the guy was up to speed ... then various things stopped! Well, you must already know that the stranger is the Dark Master ... and he already had three of the four spirits, and the opportunities our friends got worse and worse Goku, who despite Vegeta's reaction didn't really want to believe in the strength of the stranger, and who was anything but enthusiastic about the attack, attacked ... A short hand movement from the master, and Goku hung motionless in the air ... and was then thrown through the air like a doll. With a crash it hit the wall of a house like a bullet. "Maybe I should keep a few of you ..." said the master with a malicious undertone its already unpleasant voice made it even more horrific "... so that I have something to play with!"With that he hurled an unbelievable mass of small, pea-sized at most, energy balls at the group ... One hit was no more painful than a bee sting, but a hundred bee stings could also be torture. Besides ... It was absolutely impossible to do this one Dodging things! Well, some probably missed their target ... but a hundred others hit. "Vegeta ... we have to try to build a protective shield! "The prince nodded to the Namek ... It took a few seconds, then an initially thin, bluish shimmering energy shield formed. It quickly became stronger and its color changed from pale blue to a strong purple. Piccolo was very satisfied with her performance. "All right, Vegeta! Well done! "-" Learned is learned, Gurki! "Piccolo ignored this actually insulting nickname, first because he was sure that Vegeta hadn't meant it maliciously for once ... and second, because they really had other worries."Can you keep the shield up on your own, Vegeta?" The Saiyajin thought for a moment ... "But not very long ... What are you going to do?" - "I still have my spirit ... should the thing finally show As for the shield ... maybe Freezer can help you with that! "Vegeta made a face as if he had heard the name for the first time today. "Vegeta ... it's logical ..." tried Piccolo to explain "Don't forget, he had a spirit too ... that must mean something!" A grumbling agreement from Vegeta, a nod from Piccolo ... Then Vegeta Freezer called to "Hey Frostbite, dance on and make yourself useful for a change!" While the two began a solid argument, at the end of which Freezer actually helped to hold the shield, Piccolo launched an attack on the Dark Master. He hoped to have at least a small chance with the help of his spirit ... and indeed the sleepyhead was wide awake sometimes.He hadn't used the aura techniques he'd learned from Sita in a long time ... but it worked to some extent. While protecting his body with a weaker version of the energy shield, he fired a powerful beam of energy. He hit, and the Dark Master had to break off his attack on the group, so much this surprise attack distracted him. Thank goodness, because Vegeta ... despite the support of Freezer ... couldn't have held the shield any longer. But the rest shouldn't last long, which Piccolo quickly felt ... He was
