Ep. 2 (still cont.)
At high altitudes but lower speed, two beings shot through the air, disturbing the hard-won tranquility of the Earth below. "How much farther until we get to this Lookout?" Piccolo glanced at Marr. "We would get there quicker if you would fly faster." "I just learned how to fly recently, I can't go any faster than this." On the horizon, a large, white, floating platform appeared. "There it is, the Lookout," Piccolo pointed out as he and Marr gently landed on the edge of the platform. Marr took a minute to look around him, seeing trees, several gardens, and a large structure near the back of the Lookout. In that structure was Dende, who looked up and saw Piccolo. As he ran toward the fellow Namekian, he saw the goat creature beside him and stopped in his tracks. "Umm... Piccolo, who is... this?" "He's a Guardian from another planet." Dende looked surprised. "You mean, other species can make Dragonballs?"
Marr stepped forward. "Yes, and I wish to give thanks to you for letting me and my brethren live on this lovely planet." The goat kneeled before the young Guardian. "I am eternally grateful." Feeling uncomfortable and a little confused, Dende took a step back. "Well... thanks, but, I really didn't do..." Piccolo finished his sentence. "Dende had nothing to do with letting you stay here." Marr stood up quickly, maybe [i]too[/i] quickly... "Perhaps I should explain. It is the custom on my planet to thank the Guardian for an unusual act of gratitude. So... you have your own set of Dragonballs, that is correct?" Carefully, Dende nodded. "And these Dragonballs... can revive people... and objects?" Piccolo started walking toward Marr. "Why are you here?" At that, Marr began to sweat. "Well, you see, another custom is for two Guardians to exchange unique powers onto the other's set of Dragonballs, as a sign of peace and brotherhood," he said, taking a couple of steps back as Piccolo advanced. After a few steps, the Namekian stopped. "Do you always tell so many lies?"
Marr clenched his fist, and with a 'Hyah!' he leapt at Piccolo, landing a punch to his face. Piccolo was catapulted backward a few feet, but managed to land on his feet. Marr began powering up, a green aura appearing around him. Piccolo did the same, with a blue aura. "You have no idea how much I hate this planet," Marr explained. "For YEARS I've tried to learn the secret of bringing back my home planet, but to no avail. If you will not give me your Dragonballs, I will take them by force!" Piccolo smirked. "Not if I have anything to say about it."
How strong is Marr? Will Piccolo be able to defeat him, or will the Dragonballs fall into the hands of the Taiogan? Read the upcoming Episode 3 to find out!
(Also, expect some Goku/Chi-chi antics)
