Chapter 27 - A Draw?

Piccolo shot forward, not giving Goku any chance to unleash his aura and landed a powerful kick which the Saiyan blocked.

"Heh," Goku chuckled but Piccolo extended his foot, sending Goku flying.

Goku stabilized himself and fired bright blue balls of KI at Piccolo but the Namekian was far ahead of Goku in terms of energy control as he conjured his own energy balls and shot them at Goku.

The two balls of energy collided creating explosion after explosion yet the Two warriors... filled to the brim with adrenaline didn't let an explosion deter their fight, They shot at each other coated in bright white aura lining their figure as their fists crashed blowing even the explosion back.

"Nice!" Goku exclaimed and poured more power into his fist, determined to win the clash but Piccolo withdrew his fist, ducking to the right and dodged Goku's punch before retaliating with a chop to the back... Something Goku couldn't dodge, The attack sent waves of pain through Goku but the Saiyan narrowed his eyes at Piccolo and then twisted his feet, landing a kick on Piccolo's defenseless face.

Both attacks did nothing to deter the courage of the Warriors as they created some space between each other, their eyes never leaving each other.

"We've spent months here and while you've been focusing on raw power," Piccolo said, his aura doubling in size and literally roaring, "I've been focused on honing my energy control and perfecting a new skill,"

'Of course I won't use the Special Beam Cannon,' Piccolo thought as he looked at Goku who seemed amped up, 'Takes too much time to charge,'

Energy coursed through every vein and artery in the Namekian's body and even into his brain, his eyes shimmered in a purplish aura as an evil smirk crossed his face.

"I haven't named this yet," Piccolo said.

[Author's Note: This transformation heightens Piccolo's already battle-focused brain making him more deadlier on the battlefield, In other words, He heightens his senses as well as his strength, speed, agility and all that... But let's not forget that this took months and even it is not perfected yet, His energy output is also a lot higher but this comes at a price though... Early exhaustion... Put some names for this transformation in the Comment section]

Goku noticed that although Piccolo's power didn't rise, Rather it was more controlled... His aura wasn't roaring but rather it covered Piccolo in a thin lining of white and then his eyes... were leaking out purple menancing aura.

Goku's throat throbbed and then he smiled before extending his finger to Piccolo.

"Bring it on!" Goku shouted out, pointing at the ground.

Before he could even register, Piccolo shot forward appearing in front of Goku within seconds and breaking through the Saiyan's defenses landing a fierce punch to the face. Blood shot out of Goku's mouth and Piccolo continued his powerful assault, sending shockwaves through the air as Goku was not able to keep up with the power of the Namekian.

But his Saiyan blood kicked in, and slowly he started adapting to the blows. Goku raised his hand up and caught Piccolo's fist, letting out a small smile.

"It doesn't matter whether you have a new skill," Goku said and threw it aside, his aura shooting outwards, "I'm still stronger than you,"

Goku threw a kick and Piccolo dodged it, showcasing his impressive speed but Goku, a man on a mission threw a punch as a follow-up. Piccolo raised his hand to dodge this one but the fist never came, instead Goku vanished and appeared right below him, his fist smashing against Piccolo's stomach and sending blood hurling out of the mouth of the Namekian.

Piccolo was quick to recover from the attack though, letting loose a powerful flurry of energy balls from his hand at Goku but the Saiyan defied all expectations, pulling himself backward and flipping again and again, dodging every single energy ball that tried to make contact with him before finally stopping.

Both warriors drew into their battle stances again, KI flowing into their fists and lighting the area up in a white glow but an even greater opponent struck... Hunger!

Goku and Piccolo fell to their feet, their stomachs rumbling. Hunger struck again and reigned victorious.

"Fuck, I'm hungry now," Piccolo said.

"Me too, Let's go eat," Goku said and stood up, heading for the living area.

"Thanks for the food," Goku said his prayer and chomped down on the fruits that were available in the Hyperbolic Time chamber, not letting out for even a moment.

Piccolo on the other hand crunched slowly, expecting Goku to choke any minute now... and then the Saiyan did, hurling out particles of food in an attempt to ask Piccolo for help.

Piccolo slid Goku a cup of water which Goku drank heartily.

"Thanks a bunch," Goku said.

Piccolo scoffed.

"Without me, You would have choked yourself to death long ago," Piccolo said.

"You- might just be right," Goku said with a smile, "Thanks for being here,"

And Piccolo smiled too for a mere second.

'Ugh... Is his kindness rubbing off on me? He's my enemy,' Piccolo thought and averted his eyes, I refuse to become one of them,'

That thought was short-lived as Goku knocked him back to the world of reality with a single question.

"Wanna go another round?" Goku asked, his bowl of fruits empty and he himself was brimming with energy that he needed to drain ever so quickly.

"Are you for real?"
