Piccolo flared his aura, his power surging upward for a few moments as all of his muscles clenched. With a shout, he spread his arms as wide as they could go, and his ki pulsed forward in his shape, though much darker than his usual ki, before springing back into place with the darkness fading. He repeated it once more, his energy going further this time before its return. On the third time, his energy seemed to separate almost entirely from him, forming a dark silhouette flying above you all. The energy emanating from it is nothing short of malicious, every bit as evil as the foes you've faced in the past...yet, you can't help but notice that both it and Piccolo's own energy seem to be drastically weaker than Piccolo's normally is. In fact, they're both only a bit stronger than you right now!
Piccolo seems to be panting from the exertion, sweat dripping down him. "Haaa...haaa...it's done! Now all that's left is to get rid of the remnants of my evil." He says, raising a hand towards the lingering shade and charging his ki up into a ball. Firing it at the freshly-born entity, it explodes right on it, but shockingly enough the act throws Piccolo himself back like he'd just been hit by it! He now seems to be bleeding from several spots due to some unseen backlash from his own attack, shockingly enough. The entity itself is reeling from the attack, so at least some of the damage seemed to go through to it, but it looks like it's already starting to recover.
This might get messy without intervention, but...it's also Piccolo's duty and pride on the line here, it looks like. Should you intervene? Can you afford NOT to? The thing is made of Piccolo's evil, but who's to say that it should be killed just because of that? What should you do here?
>Rush to Piccolo's aid. You always have some fairy dust, seal up those wounds of his.
>Attack the shade, you can at least stun it so it doesn't get away!
>Stand back. This is Piccolo's duty, you won't deny him it.
>Something else...?
