The (Highly Ironic) Death of Piccolo


Piccolo snapped out of his meditative stance, groggy from the day's training. He stretched his limbs out in midair and cracked his fingers, pondering what to do next. The namek then let out a dry cough, he had apparently lost track of time during his meditation session. It was time for a water break. He flew over to the nearest stream and drank from the cold waterbed.

"The water tastes different somehow...strange...but I feel....tired," Piccolo thought to himself. He then laid himself down on the ground next to the stream and fell into a slumber. He didn't know it would be an eternal one though.

"Piccolo-san!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Gohan cried as he zipped through the air. He'd been searching for the Namek for nearly an hour now, it wasn't like Piccolo to play games or hide. Gohan couldn't sense his ki either. The young Saiyajin sighed and continued to scan the Namek's usual training grounds. Wait, was that him, next to the river? It looked like it was.....Gohan floated down to investigate.

"We interrupt your usual broadcast to give you this special report. The American-based company, Funmation, has dumped some of it's corporate waste into the Kava-sugi River in Japan. Part of this waste contains the germ that produces food poisoning. The Kava-sugi River breaks off into many, many streams in the wilderness: so be cautious. Do not let your children or pets drink from these streams as this strain of food poisoning can be fatal if not treated hastily. We now return you to your reguarly-scheduled programming."

"Goku, isn't the Kava-sugi River right by here?" Chi-chi asked.

"Ummm....yeah, I think so" Goku replied.

"Wouldn't the water here kill Piccolo then, and what about Gohan?"

"Oh, Piccolo's a smart guy. I'm sure he could figure it out. Gohan's safe with him."


"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Gohan whimpered as he felt for the big Namek's pulse--which was non-existant. "He's...he's gone."
