Piccolo asks how an idiot like Garlic Jr could have escaped from the dead zone, so Spice takes the liberty of explaining. A star came into alignment with the planets, but this star was a special star. When it was into the correct alignment, it lets all evil run amok over the universe, as it is at its strongest point when this happens. It happens only once every 1,200 years, which meant that this was Garlic Jr's only chance to escape. He charged up to his full extent, and managed to shatter the dead zone which held him captive. After this, he went up to Kami's, and assaulted him, imprisoning him in the bottle.
Gohan and Krillen look on curiously, as they see Piccolo preparing to fight the ones named 'The Spice Boys'. He runs in, and goes to chop one, but the attack is easily dodged, as the defender appears behind him. Piccolo turns round, and prepares to go all out. Before he can attack again though, he is hit in the back by a blast. Standing behind him is Yamcha, giggling incessantly. Piccolo turns to him, and is forced to fight. He charges, at they exchange blows for a while with neither man able to get a shot in, until Piccolo kicks Yamcha to the ground. He states that the real Yamcha would have put up a far better challenge. The Namek turns to the 'Spice Boys', and prepares to attack once again, but for the second time, zombie Yamcha attacks him from behind, this time smashing him down to the sea, with Piccolo managing to stop himself just in time. Yamcha flies back onto the island, and gives an evil smile. Piccolo lowers his head, then goes down to join everyone on Kame's island. He holds out his hand, and apologizes to everyone for what he is about to do. He charges up an energy blow, when two hands come from out of the ground and grab his heels. Gohan looks on in horror, wanting to do something, but knowing that he is helpless against them. Piccolo is rooted to the spot, as Yamcha runs in, and uses the fangs that he grew when turning evil, to bite Piccolo on the neck, rather like a vampire. He sinks his teeth in, with the Namek in great pain. Yamcha dives off after having a nibble, but Piccolo is still not down. He is standing there, weak from the attack, and powerless to do an awful lot. Two of the 'Spice Boys' appear behind Piccolo, and grabs his arms, so that he can't move at all now. The other two come out of the ground, and start laughing. In dive all of the people who had turns evil on the island, to have themselves a snack on Piccolo's neck. Piccolo screams out in pain as they all bite him, with Gohan running in. Piccolo orders him to stay back, and to go get the sacred water. Spice informs them that their friends will be permanently like this after 24 hours, and not even the sacred water will be able to save them after that. Gohan reluctantly flies off to Kami's tower, with tears running down his eyes, as Piccolo's pain intensifies. Krillen goes with him, and Icarus picks up Marron, who insists on going. They all head off to Kami's tower.
Piccolo charges up as much as he can, delivering such a force, that everyone goes flying backwards. He collapses onto the floor, after using up all his energy.
The 'Spice Boys' start to talk about the effects of the bites, saying that the venom acted very quickly, and that Piccolo would soon be one of them. The bite from one of those zombies turn the others into zombies too. A short while after the conversation took place, Piccolo got up. He had that mad look in his eyes. It looks as if he has been possessed too!
Krillen and Gohan cautiously go into Karin's tower, carefully treading, being as quiet as they can. They are worried that Karin may have inhaled the purple fog. Footsteps are heard, and Karin pops up. He greets them in his usual way, and everyone gives a sigh of relief. Yajirobe follows closely. Marron starts shouting and saying how cute Karin is. Yajirobe sees her, and asks who she is. When Gohan tells him that it is Krillen's girlfriend, he flips. He starts blabbering on about how an ugly guy like Krillen doesn't deserve a girlfriend. Karin reads Gohan and Krillen's minds, and tells them that time is of the essence. Before he can say any more, the two young warriors are off, leaving Marron behind with the wise cat. Karin moans at him, then starts to get flustered when Marron strokes him.
Krillen and Gohan land on Kami's lookout, searching for Garlic Jr. He reveals himself from out of the shadows, and starts laughing manically. Gohan and Krillen know what they must do, and they charge at the little evil being. A blast is shot just in front of them though, and they jerk to a halt. Looking up, they can see Piccolo. Gohan is overjoyed at Piccolo being alive, and is about to go up to him when Krillen holds him back. He rightly says that Piccolo is different. The Namek has that look in his eyes, and is looking sinister, as he advances on the two of them. Gohan sees it too, and is confused on whether he should fight his best friend.
Piccolo isn't required to fight just yet, and Spice holds him back, to prevent him from taking Gohan on just yet.
Garlic Jr walks up to Gohan, and starts to taunt him. He manages to anger him to the point where Gohan charges up, then charges at the little immortal symbol of evil. It appears as though Garlic Jr avoided it. The old Namek turns round (Yes, Garlic Jr is a Namek) and he walks past Gohan laughing. Once he steps past the kid, blood starts to come down his face. He wipes it off, and angrily tells his minions to beat him up a bit, but keep him alive so that Goku comes. He remembers what Gohan did to him before, and is slightly scared. He raises a throne from the floor, sits on it, and orders that the fight commences.
