Dragon Ball: Saga Of The Strongest Human 55 All People Gather Up

Darc even visited Krillin and Yamcha when they were training. It looked like Krillin went back to the Orin temple to deepen his understanding in martial arts there and Yamcha just went into the wilderness to mimic the life of a lone wolf. It was a little bit ironic for him to do that while he still wanted to get married but whatever suits him best.

He also came to visit Tien and Chiaotzu at some point while pinpointing all energies that were higher than normal.

Darc came to know them both and was amazed at how friendly they were after knowing he was Goku´s friend and also a martial artist just like them.

Those meetups were pretty short visits but still, enjoyable ones were he traded information with them all and gave them some tips and tricks to better themselves.

----

But the good guys were not the only ones he visited. He also once pinpointed Piccolo Jr.´s energy and met him.

Piccolo´s hideout was somewhere around a forest with a plain desert with a mountainous region close by. It was a good spot to train when one was still pretty weak. Walking around in the forest and finally seeing him doing his training made Darc smile.

"Hey there, buddy. What are you doing here?", he said to Piccolo. The green little guy that was about the size of Dende was surprised and jumped to the side in shock.

Piccolo looked at him with a glare and clenched fists. "You, who are you!? What are you doing here? And why wasn't I able to feel your presence?", he asked and stayed vigilant.

Darc arched up his brows and now placed his arms akimbo. "Well, that is because I hid my energy. Why would I go around and emit it all into the environment? Isn't that counterproductive if I want to do sneak attack and the likes? Anyway, I think its more of a question who you are and what you are doing here. You do kinda resemble the demon lord from the news...Just a smaller version of him? Maybe I should get rid of you?", said Darc and faked a mean smile as if being tempted to kill him.

Piccolo actually got scared at this moment. He wasn't yet strong enough to do anything against this stranger but he wouldn't go without a fight that's for sure.

Darc just stood there and looked at him and then scratched his head. "Well, then again. You are still just a kid."

Piccolo got angry at those words. "I am not a kid! I will rule this earth soon enough! I am the demon lord and you need to fear me!", he shouted out.

At that moment Darc vanished and stood right behind him. Piccolo was surprised again and looked around. "Where did he go?", he asked himself and looked around.

Darc slowly squatted down. "Boo!", he said loudly behind him. Piccolo only jumped up and when he turned to look back he fell on his b.u.t.t. He got really scared at that moment and pushed his arms in front of himself and shot out some ki blast against Darc.

But Darc himself didn't bother dodging and just deflected the ki to the side with a finger flick. "Really now. Being such a mischievous brat and attacking me with energy. You should get a better control of that. Being all panicky if something unexpected happens isn't that good.", he said and stood back up. "Well, I will be going then. Don't you do anything too outrageous...Actually, wait. I still owe someone a favor so I guess I should give you something."

Darc stretched his finger out and materialized a set of Piccolo's signature clothes unto the little guy. These clothes were made out of the same stretchy material and would grow with him.

Piccolo was surprised that Darc used magic on him and first thought he would die at that moment but seeing him giving him some clothes made him confused. Then he also saw him materialize a book.

"This here is also for you. It will make you stronger if you learn those basics.", said Darc and threw the book to him. Then he started to float upwards and charged away.

Piccolo only looked after him in bewilderment.

Age 753 August 18th. It was Bulma's birthday today and Darc intended to celebrate it together with her.

"Good morning and Happy Birthday, Bulma", he said with a big grin and his hand behind his back after seeing her for the first time on this day.

Bulma looked at him with a bright smile "Good morning. Thanks.", she replied to him.

"Looks like you are in a very good mood today. That's good to see. Here, something for you. Though this time I am not even sure if my present is really worth that much. It's actually an exotic fruit from the western galaxy. Tastes a lot like an orange. So because of that I also brought some flowers." He reached out his hand and a small blue rectangular shaped fruit could be seen in one of his hands and a flower bouquet in the other. He actually didn't really knew what to gift her since she had pretty much everything. So he decided on something from s.p.a.ce again and the basic courtesy of flowers.

She looked at the fruit first and then took it after thinking about something. Bulma smiled when she took the flowers and smelled their fragrance.

"Don't worry. It's already enough that you are here and celebrate with me.", she answered him truthfully and walked to a vase on a shelf where she put the flowers into and also placed the fruit close to it.

"Now, since the others are all idiots training it looks like we will be the only ones celebrating it.", she said with a slight snort.

"That's actually not true.", rebuked Darc. "Get to the living room. Then you will know what I mean.", he added and went ahead.

Bulma arched up her eyebrows and followed him. After she entered the living room a lot of popping sounds came rus.h.i.+ng and a lot of confetti flew through the air.

"Happy Birthday, Bulma!", shouted everyone standing in the room.

The ones that shouted were all the people that Darc collected for this day. Goku, Krillin, Yamcha, Tien, Chiaotzu, Launch, Ros.h.i.+, Lite, Glew, Otamo, Luffa. Even her sister Tights and Jaco were among them. He pretty much got everyone to Bulma´s birthday party. Arkis also was fetched by him to come along to celebrate and get a feel for social behavior. And of course, her parents attend her birthday as well since the party is held at her house.

Bulma widened her eyes in disbelieve. She was shocked to see everyone.

"Hehe, what's wrong, little sister? Is it really that surprising to see us?", asked Tights her and grinned mischievously at her.

"She thought only we two would celebrate.", explained Darc to her after hearing her words.

"I see. So Bulma wanted it to be all romantic and stuff. Well, sorry that we killed that thought.", said Tights.

"How come you are all here?", asked Bulma now.

"It was Darc that picked us all up for the day. So don't blame us for cras.h.i.+ng this party." Krillin.

"Why would we not want to celebrate a birthday from a friend?", added Glew and the majority of the others nodded to that.

"It's always nice to enjoy eating with a lot of people!", said Goku and was like always thinking more about food than anything.

Bulma looked at Darc and smiled.

He walked behind her and placed both hands on her shoulders and pushed her more into the group.

"Alright, don't be so shy. Today it's your day so let's enjoy it to the fullest.", he said to her and laughed lightly.

After that everyone started to get merrier. The alcohol also added to the atmosphere later on. Blonde Launch was always clinging to Tien now that she had a new target after Darc was mostly away. At first, though she was indecisive soon got a determination to stay with Tien.

If Darc could he would help her get together with Tien since it was sad to know that she gets forgotten by everyone just like Tien at some point vanishes to open his dojo.

Goku as always eats his fill and then laughs with the others. He exchanges his experience at the lookout with the others that listened to him. They were amazed by the training he did and got more motivated to increase their own training. Lite also thought about to go and climb the tower after hearing the story. He did want to have a cloud as well after all.

Ros.h.i.+ tried to molest every girl as always but got always shot after he tried anything so he became pretty silent and everyone laughed at his failures.

Arkis was always looking around and thought about the way the people all behaved and talked with each other. She found it quite interesting and enjoyable to look at the party.

At the end of the day, everyone was pretty much exhausted after the celebration that went on until late evening. Most people dispersed on their own and some others Darc had to teleport away to the locations where he found them. He did place orbs around the places where they were training so it was pretty easy to bring them back.
