Full Moon


It was already late, the sky was ink black and clouded. Piccolo was sitting next to the fire he had made. He had to stay awake for another half hour, so he could check on Gohan again. The kid was still under the Namek’s training and out on a survival trip. The Namek had his eyes closed, deep in thoughts. As he felt a drop on his nose, he furiously glanced the sky.

“Just great”, he grumbled as he saw the fire dousing out due to the falling water.

He stood up and stared at the few stars that were visible. As he suddenly heard a deafening roar, he immediately focused on the direction where it was coming from. He hoped it wasn’t what he feared it was.

“I better check on it”, he thought to himself as he flew up in the sky.

As he reached the place where the roar had come from, he saw nothing. He landed on the rocks and looked around, nothing… As the Namek turned around, he stood in front of a large, terrifying ape. This was what he had feared for, he hated full moons. The large monster hit him with it’s hand which made Piccolo crash into a rock wall. But the green one quickly recovered and flew up in the air to take his fighting position. He didn’t want to fight this creature because he knew it wasn’t Gohan’s fault he changed into this thing every time it was a full moon. The heavy rain soaked Piccolo’s coat and the Namek cursed heaven and hell for this weather that made his fight even more unpleasant.

“Gohan”, he called out to the monster, “I know it’s you in there. Get a hold of yourself!”

The large ape let out another roar and attacked the green man. Piccolo knew that direct attacks wouldn’t work against this creature, he hade to get to it by surprise and probably by his tail since that was his weak spot. He tried to avoid the attacks, but he couldn’t avoid them all.

After a few hits, Piccolo hid himself behind a large boulder. Normally, he would have fought the creature no matter what, but now he felt somewhat different about it. Gohan had been under his training since Goku had died in the fight with Raditz. He had started caring about the boy, more than he had thought he would. Now, he didn’t dare to take the risk of killing, or even wounding, this monster, he was afraid that he would hurt his young pupil too. He snorted at the thought. He, Piccolo the Namek, afraid… But still, it was the truth although he didn’t like to admit it. The Namek felt his energy level dropping and he knew he had to make an end to it now. He flew up and swiftly got behind the ape’s back without it seeing him. The only thing he could do was using all his power to hit that tail. He concentrated for a few moments, gathering enough energy and then fired a beam at the creature’s tail. The ape loudly yelped in pain, turning around immediately, hitting Piccolo to send him crashing into the rocks again. The Namek couldn’t get up at once, his energy level had dropped too much, he laid there, heavily panting and with sweat drops running all over his face and body. The monster was loosing balance, falling down, not getting up either.

“I have to get up”, Piccolo thought to himself, “I have to check on Gohan”

The green warrior slowly stood up, seeking support against the large stones. He started stumbling towards the spot where the monster had fallen down. As he reached it, Gohan had gotten back to his normal self again. The kid was unconscious, but had no serious injuries, only a few bruises. Piccolo smiled a little, he was relieved that the kid was alright. He kneeled and took his young pupil into his arms. Gohan squirmed a bit.

“I’m sorry, Gohan”, Piccolo softly said.

The black haired boy slowly opened his eyes.

“I messed up again, didn’t I?”, he meekly asked.

“It’s not your fault, I’m glad you’re okay.”

The boy smiled and hugged his green mentor.

“I’m glad that you’re here now”, he whispered.

“So am I, Gohan, so am I…”


THE END
