Unwelcome Visitors (Namek Saga, Open)

[Deleted]

If you were to ask for a map of the Planet Namek, you would probably get laughed at. It was a large planet with a population around 8700, not a whole lot for a mass planet the size of Earth. Nobody had the means to go out and actually explore and map the vast, untouched lands of Namek. Who knew what wonders and secrets the Emerald colored orb held.

But Elder Carnel... he was like few others. He was a constant thinker, mostly because he had nothing else to do. He devised a method of exploration.He had started by gathering Namek's finest warriors, and training them the art of Telepathy. not only to communicate, but to show others what they see. He called this group the Vaie Gee, or "Black Gi" in normal tongue. Each member would wear actual black gear and depict their own insignia on them.

(黒)

He then sent these warriors out wit the skills and training needed to survive in the wilderness. The Black Gi would map out different parts of Namek and show Carnel what they seen telepathically, and Carnel spent his time putting it on paper. Large sheets that would be fastened to boards, or "map slides". He could then piece the whole thing together if needed and be able to put it to use.

Over the days, the Black Gi, now led by Nahlin, discovered many things such as resources they could trade, rich soil to grow things in... but also other things. Villages gone vacant. Bodies... strange people that hadn't always been there...

-------------------------------------------

Carnel was standing over another large sheet with a paint brush, mapping out the terrain that one of the Black Gi had been telepathically feeding him. Nahlin had entered the room a moment ago, and pulled down his face mask. He remained quiet until the Guru took a break. It took about a minute, but he set the brush in its well and looked at Nahlin with a smile. "What can I do for you, Nahlin?"

But Nahlin wasn't smiling back. "Guru, some of the Black Gi have gone missing. There have been reports of others as well. I myself... found an entire village abandoned. But... nothing had been taken."

Carnel's smile had faded quickly. "I assume you have begun to investigate?" he asked, worried. Nahlin nodded. "Yes. And I have a lead... Do you remember a Namekian by the name of Zither? There are a few that have sighted and sensed that he is on Namek again."

Carnel thought back. "Yes. Guru Param had him exiled for numerous crimes against the people... or was it executed? No no, then he couldn't be here." Carnel shook his head. "Investigate these rumors further." he ordered. Nahlin simply bowed and left.

Carnel now sat, worried. The Black Gi were the finest on Namek, and now some have disappeared? This was strange. Carnel stood, walking out into the main area of the Fortress and accessed the old computer terminal he had set up a while ago. He sent a massage to King Boliko for assistance, either from the army or from contractors. He didn't stop there either, he had gained access to the WTO's contract work server as well, thanks to Blaze in case something like this happened. This would allow Carnel to Seek assistance from persons on any WTO planets as well. On both he wrote the following message:

To all those looking for work, planet Namek has come under a possible threat. Individuals will be needed to help the Elite forces on Namek conduct investigations and possibly aid in rescue of a large amount of missing individuals. Also, there is rumors of a known criminal to be present as well, and must be dealt with.

This massage is being sent out to the Solar Saiyan Empire and also the World Trade Organization. You may encounter individuals that you do not get along with, therefore accept this offer at your own discretion. Disputes of a violent nature between Contractors will not be tolerated and will be punishable by payment deduction and possible removal from the planet.

Please feel free to pass this massage on to any other planet servers, individuals, or factions. There may be need for more assistance in the future. For questions, contact Elder Carnel, Guru of Namek or Commander Nahlin of the Black Gi Elite.

He hit send. The computer started to fetch up, and it began to aggravate him. But after a few seconds of cursing in Namekian and bashing on the console, they sent. Carnel also requested that the SSE provide him with a better machine, as this one would be finding its way out the nearest window the moment he seen the words "Me sage Sent".

[brandon007]

As Brandon entered the atmosphere of Namek, he heard the voice of his AI counterpart say "Brandon, I just picked up a transmission designated for the SSE and WTO networks from a Namekian called Carnel. Shall I intercept?" she asked, as Brandon looked a bit confused. "Elder Carnel? The one who sent me to look for the Black Hood? Patch it through, but make sure no one detects it." He said, as there was a moment of silence before the message was played in audio for him.

"To all those looking for work, planet Namek has come under a possible threat. Individuals will be needed to help the Elite forces on Namek conduct investigations and possibly aid in rescue of a large amount of missing individuals. Also, there is rumors of a known criminal to be present as well, and must be dealt with.

Then everything was silent except for the rumble of the ship in the atmosphere. "Really? A new threat eh? When was this message sent?" He asked his Ai, who replied "Just very recently. Its logical to assume that we are the first to respond."

Brandon smirked, perhaps this was the chance to prove to the elder that he was worthy of the unlock he was promised so long ago.

His ship gently touched down on a bare stretch of land. The landing ramp dropped, and Brandon packed up his gear, and headed down the ramp. He walked to the fortress and saw the guard that was there last time. "Good to see you again Commander Nahlin. I just got the message from the Elder. Whats going on around here that would get the SSE AND the WTO Involved? Is the Elder alright?"

[Orenji]

Orenji had just landed on Namek after his annoying conversation with Kasai and Jishin. It had only been a few minutes before a light began to flash inside the pod. Orenji turned around, confused look on his face.

"Sir you might want to listen to this."

"Play the message Alfred" Orenji said walking back to the space-pod, taking a seat inside.

To all those looking for work, planet Namek has come under a possible threat. Individuals will be needed to help the Elite forces on Namek conduct investigations and possibly aid in rescue of a large amount of missing individuals. Also, there is rumors of a known criminal to be present as well, and must be dealt with.

"Alfred send that message to Drexx's space-pod, I think we are going to need all the help we can get. Make sure he gets it." Orenji said

"Yes sir I will make sure Drexx receives this broadcast."

Orenji was confused as to who was going to attack Namek, or what this threat even was. Orenji stepped back out of the pod and began to make his way to the Elder's Fortress. Orenji knew that he had to get their fast, who knew what this threat was or when it was going to attack.

"What could the elder be talking about? What could he have possibly found out that he would send a broadcast out to anyone who was listening. I need answers." Orenji said

Orenji began to use more ki to fly faster to get to the fortress at a quicker pace. Orenji was still a great distance away and it would take some time before he could talk to the elder in person about what he had found.

[Deleted]

Nahlin was surprised to see Brandon again. "You're still alive?" he asked. He had heard of his little stunt on Kold, pulling a weapon on Suki of all people. Roumor was he pissed off some Saiyans as well. Everyone had to be good at something... Nahlin cleared his throught. "I mean, how are you, Darkling? The elder is fine. Stressed out and conserned, but fine. come with me." He would motion for Brandon to follow him to the main chamber, were Carnel had seated himself.

Carnel senced the boy's abnormal energy quickly. "Ah Brandon." he said, looking into the jet black eyes. "What brings you to Namek?" he asked. The boy was likely still on a hunt for power, but Carnel knew about his confrentation with Baszantar. He could sence his energy that day while he was meditating. In Carnel's eyes, Brandon had no reason to be in that part of Namek.

[brandon007]

Brandon smirked at Nahlin as he replied "Im hard to kill, Wether thats a good thing, or a bad thing remains to be seen." He said, as he followed Nahlin right to the Elder.

Brandon was happy to see that Carnel had remembered his name. Not many people did. Brandon reached into his pocket. "A Few things brought me here actually." He said, as he took out a few used android chips, one being a free will unit. He handed out the parts to the Elder, as he said "Here the parts to that Android you sent me after earlier. Im afraid thats all I have to give ya. Unfortunately my trail to the black hood went cold on Kold. Forgive the pun."

"Also, My computer picked up on your message that you recently sent out. Im here to help in any way I can." He added, hoping that Carnel had more information for Brandon to work with.

[Orenji]

Orenji had finally arrived at the fortress, For all the time that Orenji had been on Namek he had never come to this place. Orenji had used a good amount of energy flying here. Orenji took a few minutes to regain some of his ki back, just incase something was about to happen. On the way over, he kept wondering waht this threat could possibly be.

"Alright Elder lets see if you know more aboutt his threat then i do." Orenji said to him self making his way inside the fortress.

As Orenji entered he was a little facinated, he had never set foot in here before, never even meet the elder. Orenji did feel some regret for not coming here sooner, but there were other things that had to be taken care of fisrt. Orenji walked further into the fortress, looking for the elder.

"Where are you elder Carnel?" Orenji said

It was probably a good thing Alfred told Orenji the name of the elder before going to visit him. As Orenji continued looking for him, he eventually found the elder talking to what seemed to look like a human and another namekian. Orenji made his way over to the three, hoping to find answers to the threat.

"Elder Carnel may I have a word with you? If you don't mind" Orenji said looking at the elder

[Deleted]

Carnel nodded as he listened to Brandon, and stood up to collect the object from the Bounty he had hunted. "Interesting." he said looking it over. "I haven't a clue what it is. I'm sure I'll find a use for it." he said, then tossed it over his shoulder.

Nahlin, standing off a bit, seen it and jumped. He caught it, fumbled, dropped it, but caught it again before it hit the ground and returned to his regular stance as if nobody seen a thing.

Carnel shook his head. "The Black Hood is no longer a threat. My power has grown and the Black Gi are everywhere. Watching." he smiled slyly. "Even now." he said in a creepy undertone.

then he heard a shout in Namekian. [Where are you Elder Carnel?] a voice yelled down the hall. "I am in here! Use your Ki senses!" he roared back. He looked at brandon and shook his head. "They all act as children it seems. One known as Basna was very bad for that. If I were a lesser man, I'd of..."

Carnel stopped short when a Namekian he'd never seen before walked in. Okay, he looked the same as Cargo, Nahlin, Basna and half the planet's young males. But Namekians could recognize certain features others couldn't. But the energy was a dead giveaway. Assurance that hasn't met this man. At least, he didn't think so.

He listened to the man speak quickly. "Yes, it's nice to meet you too, My name is Carnel..." "Or Elder Guru..." Nahlin pitched in quickly. Carnel looked over at the Commander. "Go do something, please Nahlin." He told him. He turned back to the man. "Sorry... I don't believe we have met. What is your name?" he asked, simply, hoping he didn't have an attitude like Nahlin, or Basna. worse... like Blaze's...

((OOC: Assuming he shouted in Namekian at first, I'll change it if I'm wrong. Also, I'm not actually hoping you're nothing like other people, be yourself!))

[brandon007]

"Basna? I fought him In the Vegeta Tournament. A Real powerhouse." He said when the elder mentioned a rival he wanted to get revenge against. being publicly defeated was embarrassing enough as it was.

"That part of the android I got is a free will unit. Im sure you will find use for it. Ad I am pleased to hear your not overly disappointing about the Black Hood..." He added, as he heard another voice down the hall.

"Perhaps hes responding to Carnel's message as well." His computer blurped in a female voice as Brandon turned and saw another Namekian enter the room and rudely interrupt them.

"Certainly lacks manners..." Brandon mumbled to himself.

[Orenji]

Orenji had finally found the elder and the mystery person standing next to him. It appears that the elder didn't hear him about talking privatly. Orenji took a few seconds to calm himself down before addressing both men.

"I am sorry for interrupting both of you, but Elder i recieved a message about a threat that could be on Namek. is this true?" Orenji said looking at teh elder

Orenji looked at the elder then back at the man standing near him. Orenji didn't think that this man was here to start trouble. Maybe he was in fact here to fight the threat on Namek as well. If so then good.

Looking at the man "Like I said i am sorry for the interruption, but my name is Orenji and yours?" Orenji said looking at the man for a few seconds before going back to the elder.

Orenji had a lot of questions, but since it appears that he wasn't the first to arrive he would let the two men finish teir conversation before talking again. Who knows maybe the man was in fact here for the same reason as Orenji.

[Deleted]

Cargo and Zarenia were in the open plains when a mysterious feeling spread through him like fire. Cargo ears twitched as he was trying to listen to his surroundings. With his eyes closed he could here fragments of a conversation. The voice seemed of Elder Carnel's but seeing as how the link with Carnel was weak at the moment, Cargo had no actual way of knowing.

"Zarenia, listen and listen well. I have a strange feeling that is terribly wrong. There is a shift in the nature of Namek. I can feel it, but I just don't know what it is. I do know that it can't be of good nature as my planet would not feel so strange to me. I am heading to the Elder of planet Namek. His name is Elder Carnel. Yes I know that I am a bit rogue now, but that does not mean anyone can come and harm my planet. I'm asking you to help me figure out what's going on and then you can kill and pillage."

Zarenia simply nods and follows Cargo to the elder fortress. It doesn't take long for them to get there as Cargo knew all kinds of ways to get there. Upon arrival Cargo looked back at Zarenia and gives her the signal to wait outside. She simply nodded as they often did and Cargo proceeds in with his cape flowing behind him.

Once inside, he could see plenty of people whom he had never met before. It was obvious that Elder Carnel may have called for help. Cargo could easily recognize Nahlin and the Elder, but who was this human looking boy and further more, who was this fellow namekian that he has no knowledge of. "Who is he? He is powerful, more powerful than what Basna was at when he defeated me in our spar. I must get to know him. He is a fellow brother after all.[/color]

Cargo proceeds further and stops near his brother he had never met. He really didn't know what to say, so he just waited on the conversation that the elder was having to be over. Cargo looks at Nahlin and waves before retaining his warrior composure.

[Deleted]

The Namekian who entered was concerned about the planet, witch explained the sudden attitude. "It's quite alright." Carnel said, before the Namek continued, apologising to Brandon as well and introducing himself as Orenji. Carnel nodded and smiled. "I am Elder Carnel-" he started before again "-Or Elder Guru..." Nahlin said.

Carnel turned around and looked Nahlin in the eye. "Nahlin.... go... do... something." he said sternly. He turned back to Orenji. "Sorry. Again." he said, directing the second word to Brandon. "Now, allow me to explain..."

Then Cargo walked in, eyeing Orenji. Carnel knew about the young Namek's drive to get stronger, and Orenji was easily the strongest Namek on the planet. At least, until the rumors of the supposed banished Namek were proven true.

"...err... allow me to introduce Cargo." he said, motioning to him. "My... supposed student, but has trouble sticking around." he said, still remembering the gravity incident. But he was passed that now. Namek's defense was at stake. Carnel hoped to train more with him yet.

He looked around the room. He looked up over Cargo's shoulder from where he stood into the hall, and back to his regular stance. "Ahem - this is everyone then. Nobody else coming through the door? More would be welcome... just want to explain this once is all."

Carnel turned around, walking back up to the chair. Nahlin still stood there at the guard. "Theres been reports of people going missing." he said, sitting down. "And it hasn't been just one or two. I mean villages of people vanished. Members of the Elite Black Gi are disappearing as well. Our only lead is a roumor that a Namekian called Zither had been seen around. He was before your times, you will likely know little to nothing about him. He was exiled for various crimes, but may have returned. It's possible there could be a connection..."

And before he could continue, a very low power level came into the area. A Namekian in a black gi was slowly dragging himself into the room, purple blood dripping from where his arm used to be. It appeared to have been torn off, and several black burns were visible. Lightning? Carnel knew of the pattern due to the bolts his staff fired. Nahlin ran quickly to the Namek's side.

"[Brother! What has happened!?]" he yelled in Namekian. "Why do you not regenerate?" He asked, crouched down and holding the other man up. He raised his head, one eye covered with one of those burns. He spoke. "[... too weak... hurt so bad... they're all d-dead...]" He said. Carnel's eys widened as Nahlins did. The man spoke again. "[four B-Black Gi... all mur-dered. She took it... to-took the village... we couldn't...]" he didn't continue. He begain coughing up blood all over Nahlin.

Carnel bolted from the seat and started to administer his healing technique... but one last breath left the Namek's lungs and his power faded. Whoever did this had just managed to kill five of the planets best warriors.

And apparently it was a She. Who was this She?

[brandon007]

Brandon noticed that He and Orenji werent the only ones to come to Nameks aid. "Im Brandon, Prince of--" He started to introduce himself as the Elder explained the situation. "I wonder if there is a pattern to it all... IF we can figure out a pattern, We can tell which villages will be next ,and we can protect them, and maybe even set up a trap to capture whoeever is doing this..." He said in response to the Elder, as he tried to form a suitable plan in his mind.

But his train of thought was interrupted by an Injured Namekian who had seen a very tough battle. He thought he recognized some of the injuries on the Namekian, as he to, along side with the Elder, came to the Namekian's aid.

Studying some of the wounds, he said "These are electrical burns. High intensity... Even I cant cause injuries like these... Whoever did these must be VERY powerful." Was this the doing of another Darkling? One whos power dwarfed his own?Or some other entity? Brandon did not know, and he wanted to find out.

[Orenji]

Orenji greeted the elder, for this was the first time that the two had meet. Orenji also noticed another Namekian power level enter the building. As Orenji turned to see who was coming he noticed that the new Namekian was eyeing him as well. The new Namekian came up and stood right next to Orenji. Orenji was confused as to what was going on, but it seemed like everyone here was responding to the threat.

"...err... allow me to introduce Cargo."

"It is good to meet you cargo" Orenji said looking at the Namekian.

Orenji looked back at the elder waiting to hear what was going on in Namek. Orenji followed the Elder as he went back to his chair and sat down, beginning to explain the situation.

"Theres been reports of people going missing." he said, sitting down. "And it hasn't been just one or two. I mean villages of people vanished. Members of the Elite Black Gi are disappearing as well. Our only lead is a roumor that a Namekian called Zither had been seen around. He was before your times, you will likely know little to nothing about him. He was exiled for various crimes, but may have returned. It's possible there could be a connection..."

The elder stopped talking as another Namekian warrior came through the door. Bleeding, his arm ripped off and what seemed to be electrical burns on his body. The elder quickly ran to the Namekians side speaking in the Namekian language wondering what happened to him.

"[four B-Black Gi... all mur-dered. She took it... to-took the village... we couldn't...]"

"She? This threat is a she, what could this person or thing possibly want with Namek?" Orenji said to everyone there

[Deleted]

Cargo came in in silence and the elder shot a nice slug at Cargo for being away so long. Only if he knew of the internal struggle Cargo was dealing with; he would know that his son was being tormented by the want of power. Then again, Carnel was his father and the connection was evident. That was another reason Cargo knew something was wrong.

"It's good to meet you Cargo."

Cargo looked at the brother he never met and eyed him good. "Otzer Tropoli"(Hello brother) Cargo smiled only a bit at meeting his brother, but quickly focused by on Elder Carnel. "Theres been reports of people going missing." he said, sitting down. "And it hasn't been just one or two. I mean villages of people vanished. Members of the Elite Black Gi are disappearing as well. Our only lead is a roumor that a Namekian called Zither had been seen around. He was before your times, you will likely know little to nothing about him. He was exiled for various crimes, but may have returned. It's possible there could be a connection..."[/color]

Cargo's heart fell heavy as did his father's. The pain was outrageous as it coursed through his body nearly ripping at the very soul of Cargo. That is when he looks at the entrance way as one of his brothers crawl through. His brother was bloody to the point where his green skin was barely visible. He had burn marks all over and a very distinguished one over his eye. His arm was missing with a waterfall of blood pouring from it. Cargo heart grew even heavier as he knew his brother was not going to survive. However, his brother was able to speak words to them.

"[four B-Black Gi... all mur-dered. She took it... to-took the village... we couldn't...]

Carnel and the other boy were near his brother as he took his last breath. Hatred filled Cargo's heart and filled with a desire to kill whoever had done this. Darkness was starting to come into Cargo's heart. He looked at his father as his pupils began to show the darkness. No doubt his father would know and even though he just met his brother Orenji, it never takes long for kin to form a link.

[Deleted]

“Well… this is quite a reunion…” a familiar voice filled the room as a namekian entered unannounced like he had done many times before. There were an assortment of people he had met before and those he hadn’t, but they probably wouldn’t recognize him right away. By now his injuries had mostly healed but he still walked limply. His clothes were shredded and there would forever be a mark on his face which made him stand out like a sore thumb among all namekians. But if they hadn’t recognized him by appearance or his increased power level, then the voice and his way of speaking would definitely sell him out. The tired man gazed at the fallen namekian with weary eyes.

“It seems trouble follows me everywhere I go…” he said. Basna looked at the Elder. “I heard your message; neither the icers nor the saiyans can help us…” he stated. His right eye was closed. His clothes were still stained with namekian and saiyan blood. Suddenly, a surge of pain overtook him and he kneeled down to one knee. “Ugh…”

It seemed like Basna hadn’t changed. But to those who were more observant could distinguish a slight change within him. It was in his expression, his presence. He wasn’t like before, he was defeated and humiliated. He had lost his dignity and misty eyes stared steadily at the floor near their feet. Not daring to look into their eyes. The Basna they knew would never have shown weakness. The Basna they were accustomed to would have grinned and looked into their soul with unwavering confidence –even if that confidence was a foolish one.
