The Hunt (Part 1)

[brandon007]

Brandon was suddenly awoken hen the ships alarms started to bellow at him, as the vessel was starting to shake violently. HE had arrived at Namek, but the ship was unable to slow down its decent into the atmosphere. "Air Brakes..." He said, as he flipped a switch, but nothing seemed to happen.

"Damn, Air Brake Failure!" He said, as flames covered the ships view port. But he could see that the landscape was coming up fast. "Oh shit." He said, as he braced for impact. He did the first best thing he could think of, as he used his powers of ice to fill the entire pod with snow. Much like a giant air bag, as his vision was blocked off by the quickly made air bag.

The Pod seemed like a giant fireball in the sky as it soared towards what looked like a fortress, but luckily, its trajectory narrowly missed the large structure, as the pod came crashing into the plateau near the structure. Spilling out Debris, Flames, and snow everywhere.

Brandon lay near the center of the wreckage, as he opened his eyes, and saw light. 'I...Made it?" He asked himself as he sat up and checked to see if all of his organs were intact. "Yes! I made it!"

(Takes place sometime before or after Basna's thread)

Carnel was drinking some water, alone in the main chamber. He was pondering some of life's biggest things. Living... Meaning... Cake... when suddenly he heard a loud crashing sound outside. He stood up, confused, and walked over to the window to see someone with a pile of junk outside. He shook his head and set his drinking gourd down.

He opened the window and leaned out. "Hey! What are you doing!? Get that junk off my lawn ya darn hooligan!" He yelled, shaking his whole arm and staff out the window. He pulled back inside and closed the window. That'll scare him off. he thought, walking back over to the Guru's Throne and siting back down.

[brandon007]

Brandon heard a voice above him somewhere, as he looked to the source as he saw an Elder Namekian yelling at him. "Sorry!" He sad, as he picked up the parts he could and put it into a pile. He lacked the strength to move the larger pieces as he had no idea what to do with the rest of the parts, as he used the already melting snow to put out the small fires that dotted the wreckage.

after he had done so, he looked towards the Fortress as he made his way to the main doors, and he heavily knocked on them with his fist. "Please let me in. I need your help." He said, hoping that he did not anger the Elder that he was supposed to speak to.

[Deleted]

The door opened a few moments after he knocked. A younger Namek answered, dressed in a black Namekian gi. "Hello, can I he-" he paused, wide eyed once he seen the mans eyes. Jet black. He studered. "H-help you, sir?" he finished. The namek didn't know what to expect.

[brandon007]

Brandon was also equally stumped, as he had never seen a Namekian before. He was equally nervous, as he took a deep gulp, and said "Id like to see the Elder please. Its about having my potential unlocked, as well as the Black Hood." As he tried to calm himself down from his nervousness. Granted it was interesting meeting new people for the first time. Even more so meeting a different race for the first time.

But the Namekians seemed peaceful, and actually seemed more interesting then the human race for the time being. Though he had a feeling he would be dealing with them for a while still to come.

[Deleted]

The Namek took a moment to respond. He looked away. "I see. Yes, this Black Hood assassin has the Guru stressed out quite a bit. Please follow me. He stood to the side to let the man in, then closed the door.

He lead his way to the main chamber, where the Elder Carnel was sitting. He was in deep thought, hadn't even noticed the two entering the room. The Namekian in the black gi spoke. "Elder Guru, this man has come seeking information on the assassin. And... he seeks the unlock."

Carnel was still in thought, this gave the man the chance to speak.

[brandon007]

Brandon followed the Namekian in the Black Gi until he was lead directly to the Elder. He felt more nervous now, seeing how easy it was to see the Elder Guru. "I apologize for the intrusion, But I wish to know on the possible whereabouts of this 'Black Hood' assassin that I have heard of... And I also heard of some rumors flying around that you could unlock a good persons inner potential." He said.

He saw the Elder Guru was still deep in thought while he spoke. The sooner he got a positive response, the sooner he could start tracking, and hopefully find this Assassin. A Person like the Black hood needed to be brought to justice, before he could strike again.

[Deleted]

The elder looked up. It was the person who had made a mess on his lawn! "Oh... Its you again. You have come for the unlock, have you? Seems like thats all I'm good for these days... He stood up and walked down towards them.

He looked at the other Namek. "Thank you Nahlin, you don't need to stand around if you don't wish to. He said.

Nahlin, the black gi Namek, moved up closer to speak to carnel quietly. "Elder Guru, this man creeps me out. Are you sure you wish for me to leave?"

Carnel nodded. "Yes. And Nahlin... I have a name. He told him. Nahlin nodded and exited the room.

Carnel looked the boy over. He had jet black eyes, not common in a huminoid creature. But Carnel had been in the presence of Bio-Androids, Icers, and even the Saiyan king. This man was nothing to be fearful of.

"Morning." He said to the boy. "You think your going to find this Black hood, do you? he asked.

[brandon007]

Brandon gave a faint nod, as he replied "I do indeed hope so. The person in question has committed horrible deeds, and justice needs to be done. All I wish to do, is capture him, and bring him back here so one, such as yourself, can decide the proper punishment for him." as his eye sight turned to the window, and saw that he had a good view of his impact site.

"Oh, About that, I am sorry. I tried to control my space pod properly, but it was poorly built, and I was lucky enough to even survive the impact." He added, feeling guilty about making a mess of the Guru's lawn.

[Deleted]

Carnel thought about insisting the boy to take on this Black Hood. He followed the boys gaise outside, at the trash pile. "You did quite a nice job cleaning that up." he said sarcastically.

Carnel closed his eyes, and his energy changed slightly. Outside, the wreck and all its peaces floated upward. It carried on over some water, then appeared to be pushed away far out into the ocean. Carnel opened his eyes, and looked at the boy."Much better." he said.

He walked back to his chair and sat down. "Alright boy, this person is quite dangerous. I'm not sure you can handle it." Carnel knew the boy meant well, but he didn't need his death on his conscience. However, the boy came quite a long way, so he couldn't just up and say no. "I'll tell you what." He took a drink of water. "If you can land a hit on me, any kind of strike or blast, I'll consider you qualified." Carnel sat there, waiting for a reply.

[brandon007]

"Any kind eh? Agreed." He said with a smile. While the elder seemed old and fragile, he knew not to judge a book by its cover. So while he remained in his base for the duration of the battle, he was going to show the elder that base power was never to be underestimated.

He didnt have the ability to use Ki, but perhaps he could use that to his advantage, as he quickly charged up ice elemental energy in his hands, as he quickly unleashed a spread of small blasts of energy towards the Elder in an attempt to hit him with his shotgun spread attack.

Brandon couldnt use his sword technique, as it could seriously inure the elder if it hit, and if he wanted the Elders favour, he couldnt be seriously harmed. So he would have to use his Chilling Harmonizer, as well as his other abilities in an attempt to tage the elder with an attack.

[Deleted]

The boy fired a wall of ice spikes at Carnel. Well, thats new. He thought. He shot up into a standing position and spun his staff, knocking the spikes away in different directions. Some shattered while others hit walls, the floor, and stuck into his staff. Some even went back at Brandon, but they were nothing that would hit and could be easily flicked asside by Brandon.

"Come now, youre going to need to do better than that." Carnel told Brandon. Carnel didn't attack back, there wasn't any need to.

[brandon007]

Brandon half expected his attack to be blocked, as he easily swept aside the reflected ice spikes. "I wasnt expecting them to hit. I was seeing what you would do." he said, as he looked to the walls of the room, and had an idea.

"Well, You can defend from one angle. But how about multiple?" He asked, as he formed the same energy in both of his hands, as he then held them out. The spread shots of ice soared out in two opposite directions. When they hit the walls, the first set of spikes left the wall covered in ice, but the second and remaining spikes ricocheted off of the ice, and soared right towards the Elder.

Brandon smirked as he watched his attacks come at the Elder from two different directions. Granted, if the Elder managed to block or dodge the attack, Brandon would start to get annoyed at the Namekian.

[Deleted]

Carnel stood still as the ice spikes hit the walls around him. He thought for a moment that he was just a bad shot, but remembered that this one had very different powers. He got ready for whatever happened next.

The ice shot out from the walls from all directions. Carnel closed his eyes and the energy changed again. The ice spikes all stopped in mid air around him, caught in a telekinetic grip. They all began to turn towards Brandon...

Carnel didn't fire them back though. He merely used that to show what he could have done. Instead, he increased the grip of the telekinesis and caused the ice to shatter into snow. The flakes drifted lightly around the room, covering the two with a fine flurry. Carnel smirked.

((OOC: Hope you don't mean annoyed as in you think I'm godmodding lol. He's making a challenge for you is all. Trust me, better story = better gain.))

[brandon007]

Brandon stood and watched as the Elder seemed to be toying with him. "Impressive. Most Impressive." He said as he smirked right back at the Namekian.

The boys right hand started to glow, as a light green energy sword slowly emerged, covering the boys hand as the blade seemed to be approximately a meter long. "Lets see if that staff of yours works against a blade as well." He said, as the boy would suddenly rush in, as he attempted to swing the blade at the left side of the Elder. But that was not all, for Brandon secretly formed a small dagger of ice on his other hand. If his tactic was successful, the Namekian's staff would block the sword, but the boys dagger would possibly slip past, and poke at the Elders side.
