[to Gohan] It's no use kid. The more you struggle, the tighter the hold becomes. It's hard to believe that a small fry like you trapped Garlic Junior in the dead zone. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.
Admit it. You've always had a fascination with the dark side Piccolo. Why don't you join Garlic Junior now while you still can? He's about to take over the planet.
Hey...heh heh heh. Settle down, Vinegar. He's just trying to get you riled up. I'll answer your question Piccolo, if you really want to know. [pointing upward] The power of the Makyo Star.
Ah yes. Now I have your attention. Not long ago, the autumnal equinox was on the first point of libra. Heralding this auspicious moment for the dark side was the Makyo Star, whose proximity to the Earth provided an incredible source of power to all creatures of the night. This rare alignment of the planets and stars occurs only once every twelve thousand years. At no other time is man more susceptible to evil than this. It is a time when the powers of darkness are at their zenith and the unseen lower forces dominate the Earth. Garlic Junior used this influx of dark energy as a springboard to shatter his prison and escape it forever. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. You don't get it do you? Garlic Junior is the new guardian of the Earth. He's taken over Kami's lookout and is seated quite comfortably on the throne. Kami and Popo are just mantle pieces now, looking on hopelessly from their little glass jars.
The beautiful part about it all is that with the black water mist, we hardly have to raise a finger. Just look how eager your friends are to help us. We're gods to these plebians.
Heh heh heh heh. You came here looking to fight us, but the battle has already been won. There's no one left to fight for, nobody wants your help. Can't you understand that? Just look. Look at your friends. Do they look like they're waiting for a knight in shining armor to come and rescue them? Who do you think you're fooling anyway? You haven't really changed. So drop the goody two-shoes act and join us. Or oppose us and suffer like you've never suffered before. Your choice. Well?
'fraid not. Why should we hurt a friend? If you're bitten by someone who's been infected by the black water mist, you become just like them. Piccolo's one of us. Yes, wake up. You're part of the family now.
[in a battlefield of dead bodies] My word. So this is what my people get for being loyal servants to Frieza. How could he order Vegeta to do this to us after all we've done for him?
Really? Is that so? The treaty you signed with Frieza is no longer valid! Because in order for a treaty to exist, the one who signed it must be alive and Frieza's dead. A Saiyan by the name of Goku destroyed him.
[to Gohan and Krillin] Well boys, what do you think of Piccolo now? He's all set to serve Garlic Junior. That's because he's become part of our family! He's one of us kid. Just like your mother is.
Ah, I see the son of Goku has arrived. I believe your name is...Gohan, right? Welcome here, my friend. I hope you don't mind but...heh heh...I have a question for you. I want to know where your father is.
Precisely. I must find him in order to carry out my revenge. Once that is accomplished, then both you and he will pay double for your failed attempt to defeat me.
Even though now I rule the Earth, that isn't good enough until I exact my revenge upon you two. So young Gohan, tell me where your dear father is hiding. And I warn you, don't try to be smart.
[while pummeling Gohan] Aha! What's wrong kid!? You don't wanna fight with me? Oh please! I thought the son o' Goku was a little tougher than this! My sister can take a punch better than you!
