* Story *
Once again in a battle against another evil being threatening Earth,
Piccolo was fighting beside the rest of Earth's special forces as usual.  
In this battle Piccolo gave his life to save Goku, who had been knocked
unconcious.  After the threat was dealt with by the enraged Gohan, he
and his father collect the seven Namekian dragonballs (the Earth's
dragonballs will not work since Piccolo has already been wished back 
once) so they could wish Piccolo back to their dimension once again.  
However, the eternal dragon told them that Piccolo was still alive.  
Just then, King Kai contacted Goku and informed him that Piccolo was
not in the next dimension, but had been taken to a place outside of the 
dragon's influence.  He told Goku of the Arena Eternal and the evil 
Vadrigar, who would take the greatest warriors of the Universe there
for their own amusement.  King Kai also told Goku that the evil being
that was threatening them was an agent of the Vadrigar who was sent
originally to take Goku, but Piccolo had gotten in the way and was
taken instead.  Since the dragon could not bring Piccolo back, Goku
decided that he would go to the Arenas and attempt to free all those
enslaved by the Vadrigar, including Piccolo.  To accomplish this King
Kai told Goku that he must use the dragon to wish himself to a path that
leads to the Arenas, as he could not wish himself directly there.  The
only drawback was that it would take him at least a year to travel down
this path to the Arenas and Piccolo would forced to fight in the Arenas
until Goku can save him.  Before Goku made his wish and began the journey
King Kai gave him a final warning.  His powers would not work in the
Arenas.  He will not be able to fly or throw fireballs.  The mighty
Kaioken would only be able to increase his perceptions not his speed.
Aside from that he could only use his courage and fighting prowess to 
conquer the Vadrigar and their Arenas.  After that Goku made his wish
and left.

Piccolo, already in the Arenas, was fighting under the same conditions.
He could not fly or use any of his fireball attacks.  All he could use
was the weapons provided.  He knew that Goku would come for him, but
he did not know how long he would have to wait.  So he just fights and
waits for Goku's arrival whenever that may be.

* How to use this model *
     If you have the point release just place the .pk3 file in the baseq3 folder in your Quake
     directory.
     If you don't have the point release or are still having difficulty you may need to
     create a models\players\piccolo folder in your baseq3 directory.  And if you still have
     problems you can always type /model piccolo in the console.

     After that, all you need to do is select him as your model and let the fragging begin.
