Unwelcome Visitors (Namek Saga, Open)

[Deleted]

His healing powers weren't enough. Brandon was right, these were high powered lightning blasts. And apparently, it was a woman? Carnel hung his head. "I'm not sure if what this poor man seen. Our leads indicated a Namekian was possibly involved... how could the culprit be a she?" He stood, knowing he could do no more.

"We will go with the original plan then." He turned to Nahlin. "Has there been any pattern in the attacks?" He asked.

Nahlin nodded, standing to face the crowd. "Yes, Elder Guru. They started with Wakan Village and moved on through to Huritu. They are moving east... but avoiding the City it seems. I'm thinking... Pulitu Village may be next, as it is closest. But there is also Dunalan Village to the east again. And theres a possibility that they may wish to go north to Yemall instead."

Carnel nodded. "I see. Then evacuate all three of them and move the villagers to the City. Bring in a handful of the Black Gi. seven or so to each Village. Have them dress and go about as villagers..." He instructed to the Commander, who turned to finally go do something.

Then a familiar voice came into the room. Basna... he was injured as well. He spoke about troubles and his worry for lack of help. "With this war, they are spread so thin." Carnel explained. He moved quickly over to Basna and began his same healing as he had done to the last Namek. Only Basna looked like he had a better chance.

"We must move quickly. There are six of us now... three villages. Nahlin and I can handle the northern Yemall. you must devide into two teams and pick either the closer Pulitu Village or the eastern Danalan Village. Should one team come under attack, move all your forces to the village under attack as soon as possible. I personally can keep us all telepathically linked, but it will require quite a bit of energy for this mass of people."

He hoped the group could work together and balance their power out as even as they could. And Carnel acting like a telepathic "server" was likely going to drain him quickly if they persisted with a great deal of chatter during the operation. Energy he could use to heal.

((Depending where Ammy, playing the villain, chooses to attack, it can differ the amount of time it will take for you to arrive to help the other team. She could choose to even attack a different, unlisted village all together, two at a time, or none at all... guess we shall see!))

"Perhaps we are dealing with more then Namekians... " Brandon said, as he saw basna come in. Heavily wounded but still alive. His Darkling side wanted revenge on him as he walked over to Basna with a serious look to his face.

"Basa, Outside... when your better. We have something to settle." He said, as he walked to the door, as he looked back to the elder. "When Im finished with Basna, Ill head to Danalan Village. If its the furthermost out, 'they' might assume its more vulnerable and attack there first." He said, as he left the Elder and the others to their business as he stepped outside and awaited for Basna to accept his challenge.

(Zenie please. The Zenie will be transferred to my other account.)

[Orenji]

Orenji looked down at the dead Namekian, there was nothing that he could do for him now. Orenji looked back at the others and saw that there was something different about Cargo. Cargo seemed angry about the death of a fellow Namekian. Orenji couldn't blame his for this, but he knew that anger had to be controlled.

"Ina Tropoli, Ina" (control brother, control) Orenji said looking back at Cargo

Orenji had just met cargo, and as it appeared he was going to be seeing a lot more of him. Nothing could be explained at this moment, there was a threat on Namek and it would attack soon. Orenji listened as teh Namekian commander began to speak to the Guru. There were many villages on Namek and anyone of them could be attacked at any moment.

"I see. Then evacuate all three of them and move the villagers to the City. Bring in a handful of the Black Gi. seven or so to each Village. Have them dress and go about as villagers..."

Orenji knew he had to leave soon, he knew the elder would send the six of them out to evacuate the villages.

"We must move quickly. There are six of us now... three villages. Nahlin and I can handle the northern Yemall. you must devide into two teams and pick either the closer Pulitu Village or the eastern Danalan Village. Should one team come under attack, move all your forces to the village under attack as soon as possible. I personally can keep us all telepathically linked, but it will require quite a bit of energy for this mass of people."

"Elder if it is ok with you I would like to go the the Pulitu village and began evacuation immediately. It seems like Brandon is going to go to Danalan Village." Orenji said as he watched Brandon walk outside.

Orenji didn't know what Brandon had said or who he was talking to, but there were more important things at hand. Orenji turned back to the elder and showed his respect. As he began to walk to the door, he stopped just before exiting the building.

"Cargo if you would like to join me in evacuating Pulitu, that would be fine." Orenji said exiting the fortress.

[Deleted]

Orenji noticed Cargo's growing anger and eased it with a simple phrase.

Ina Troploi, Ina


"I see. Then evacuate all three of them and move the villagers to the City. Bring in a handful of the Black Gi. seven or so to each Village. Have them dress and go about as villagers..."[/color]

A voice came from the distance entering the fortress. It was his brother Basna, and it was obvious that he was badly beaten up. The elder rushed to him and began to heal him. That was when it became obvious that Basna and Orenji would be the ones who had the best chance of taking down this menace. The power those two possessed were even greater than the Guru himself. Cargo smiled for a slight second at the sight of his returning brother, but his anger was still present as the corpse of a fallen brother laid slain on the fortress floor.

"We must move quickly. There are six of us now... three villages. Nahlin and I can handle the northern Yemall. you must devide into two teams and pick either the closer Pulitu Village or the eastern Danalan Village. Should one team come under attack, move all your forces to the village under attack as soon as possible. I personally can keep us all telepathically linked, but it will require quite a bit of energy for this mass of people."[/color]

Cargo's visible anger vanished, but his silent rage was growing rapidly. The visible pain, anguish, and complete destruction caused to his fallen brother had awaken something hidden deep within Cargo. Cargo felt this, but had no knowledge of what it could be. He notices Orenji speak to the elder and head for the exit.

"Cargo if you would like to join me in Pilitu, that would be more than fine."

Cargo turned to follow Orenji out the fortress, only to stop and address Zarenia.

"Listen, I am heading to Pilitu Village with my brother Orenji. I need you to stay here and watch the fortress and to keep an eye out for any funny business okay? Whoever this threat is, they are much more powerful than I and it will take the combined might of my brother Orenji and Basna to defeat whatever menace this is. I only hope to be of some assistance."[/color]
Zarenia simply nodded without saying a word. Cargo had no idea if she would listen or not since he knew Zarenia played to the beat of her own drum. He would have to just trust her and continue forward with Orenji.

(still setting you up Zarenia, hurry up dang it )

“Thanks…” Basna said as the Guru healed his wounds. He listened carefully to the plan. He had heard most of it while he limped all the way to the Elder’s Fortress, so no briefing was required. Promptly after the darkling he faced back in Vegeta had requested to see him outside. Basna ignored it for the moment, whatever he had to say definitely wasn’t more important than this –or what Basna had to say… “I guess that leaves me and Brandon then. We’ll go to Danalan Village…” he assured, standing back up to face Elder Carnel.

He watched disappointingly as the other’s left the room, but Nahlin and Carnel would have to do for now. “I wanted everyone to be here for this… but… -they’ll probably hear it anyway-,” he thought. Basna’s expression turned grim. His face said it all; the burn mark on his right eye told the story of his encounter. The namekian pressed his hand on the Elder’s chest and began to telepathically communicate everything he had seen and witnessed on Planet Vegeta with visuals. He assumed the Guru knew most of it, but surely he didn’t know this…

Basna reiterated for Nahlin to hear while Elder Carnel took in the raw detail. “The Solar Saiyan Empire had left their planet to kill Touketsuki Yakedo.” He started by adding some background to the story. “During their absence though…” he said. In this moment, Carnel would witness all the burned down buildings, the dead saiyans and aliens and all the chaos that came with such a homicidal war. “A namekian… he is known as the Prime Minister of Earth –and as ‘Geu-Rin’.”

Both Carnel and Nahlin –and perhaps any other namekian within a mile radius could probably hear such a familiar name uttered by Basna’s lips. They would recognize it as a legend which had become nothing more than a fairy tale to scare kids through the struggles of time. But to the older and elderly –like Carnel, they would probably see this as a factual truth. Basna still had trouble believing it himself, but the man was indeed the strongest being he had ever witnessed.

“Geu-Rin… has slaughtered the entire saiyan race… this is why I told you none of them would be able to help us in our struggles, -even worse…” he paused, letting all this information sink in and transmitting the seriousness of this situation through his silence and stare, through the images Carnel would see through his eyes as the other namekian dug his knee into Basna’s mid-section and dropped him instantly to the floor. With a single blow, Basna had splattered blood all over the namekian’s knee.

“He’s coming to Namek, he wants revenge…” he clarified. The transmission ended before it went too far. Basna didn’t want Carnel –or anyone, to see him suffering. He didn’t want anyone to see how he begged for his life and watch how he came to have such an eternal scar on his face. He would leave the details of those events to their imaginations; but the message was still loud and clear. Whatever was happening on Namek was nothing compared with what’s to come.

[Kirei]

Zarenia was in the open plains of Namek enjoying the nice breeze run over her skin. Cargo was quiet as usual, but the look on his face worried Zarenia. She notices Cargo close his eyes and his ears start t twitch. It wasn't long before Cargo's eyes were open and his attention was directed at Zarenia.

"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."[/color]

Zarenia smiles at the thought of being able to destroy. It was what made her happy the most. She nods in acceptance of Cargo seeing as how he is her partner. "Cargo is acting very strange. It's obvious something is bothering him. He should just tell me so we can solve whatever it is. Maybe he doesn't trust me yet? I'll have to wait and find out."[/color] They arrive at a huge building that looked like a fortress. Cargo points near the exit as a signal for her to wait outside and she nodded once more in acceptance.

"Guess this is some kind of sacred place if he doesn't want me to enter. whatever he's just afraid that I'm better than whoever is inside or something.[/color]

Cargo walked in and the power floating around that place was amazing. Zarenia's eyes widened at what she was feeling. They were even more powerful than Cargo. She was starting to think that maybe she should have allied herself with one of the beings inside the building. Zarenia sat there for some time meditating as she was now learning how to do, when a beat up namekian comes charging for the entrance. He crash lands nearby and slowly gets himself up to walk inside. Zarenia extended her hand, but she drew it back as she new she was in no place to help him. The blood, the burn marks, the huge scar on his face, it all told a tell of a major battle. Who could have done it was the question.

Soon after, another powerful being walked into the building. He did not notice Zarenia at all which probably was a good thing. He also had the scars of battle but he was not as beaten as the other namekian. Zarenia was growing ever more curious as she was wondering what was going on. Cargo walks out moments later with another namekian more powerful than he.

"Listen, I am heading to Pilitu Village with my brother Orenji. I need you to stay here and watch the fortress and to keep an eye out for any funny business okay? Whoever this threat is, they are much more powerful than I and it will take the combined might of my brother Orenji and Basna to defeat whatever menace this is. I only hope to be of some assistance."[/color]

Zarenia once again nodded in acceptance of Cargo's suggestion."His brother!? Since when did he have a brother? Why wasn't I informed of his connections with more like him? Who the hell is Basna? Is he also Cargo's brother? They are all so powerful though. It may be best if I do stay here, but I don't want to leave Cargo even if he is with his brother.[/b][/color]
Zarenia shook her head and took flight. She had changed her mind...as women tend to do. She was going to go with him and she let him know by flying up right on side of Cargo with saying a word. She just simply looked forward following Cargo's brother.

[hewhostandsalone]

Zig hadn't been able to get a ship together on such short notice. Instead he managed to find a still working older model spacepod among the junk heaps he'd been foraging back on Earth. It worked well enough to heed the call for assistance from Namek. The dilapidated hunk of metal smashed into the ground outside the Elder's fortress. Despite being late and showing up in a shoddily held together piece of space debris, Zig arrived with the best of intentions. He didn't think the Guru would be happy about a small crater on his front lawn, but then again that was a small price to pay considering the potential threat.

Zig Ripped open the rusted hatch and tossed it into the pod as he climbed out, dusting himself off and grimacing at the smell of smoking rust. Needless to say, that pod wouldn't survive another trip. He was sort of amazed at how close he probably came to becoming a frosted corpse in the vacuum of space by riding in that thing. He sighed and took a look around. He hoped that entrance wouldn't upset anyone too much. Then again, maybe some attention wouldn't be all bad. At least then he could find out a thing or two.

With a quick glance around and a light scratching on the back of his head, the oversized reptilian alien moved towards the fortress and knocked. No one seemed to be outside at the moment. They were either gone or inside, at least he hoped. His energy sensing abilities were not pristine. They were capable of feeling out general direction and vague power. He hadn't fine tuned it through practice... "Hello? Anyone home? I'm here to lend a hand with that issue you sent out a call about. If it's still an issue, that is."

The rather gungho red alien was at a loss at the moment. He assumed the Guru, of all people, would be home and using his fortress as a base of operations. Maybe he was wrong?

(OOC: Intentionally having him show up late.)

[Deleted]

Drexx approached the Elder's fortress quietly. He had gotten the recording days ago and had just been able to make his way from Earth to Namek. It had been an uneventful journey, as had the journey to the Elder’s fortress, aside from meeting Ark. Namek on the surface seemed peaceful, but maybe that’s why the problem was so severe. It was one that was not easily found. Those gathered seemed to be mobilizing to leave. Different Namekians leaving the fortress in many different directions. The Protector had arrived just in time it seemed. They would be surprised to see him, not being able to sense him coming, and maybe even a little wary. Here was an android in the midst of all of them, in the midst of a crisis; surely he was the one causing the problems on Namek. Androids were known for their misdeeds and violence after all weren't they? This one was different however. He was built to protect.

Drexx would nod and wave at Orenji when he saw him. He was overjoyed to see his friend there and safe. His first worry had been whether or not Orenji was safe, Namek was Orenji’s home and he knew his friend to be fiercely protective of things he loved. Orenji, his greatest friend. It seemed odd now to look back upon their first meeting, not too far from here on Namek. Ah how they both had changed. Now was not the time to reminisce however, there were far more important matters to be dealt with.

Drexx hoped the humanoid he met out in the plains, Ark, was right behind him; apparently they needed a large force to deal with whatever this problem was and all the help they could get would only expedite the process. Drexx would call Orenji over to him to speak. He hoped his Namekian friend would be able to fill him in on more of the details.

[Ark Ghiest]

Flying over the plains of Namek Ark was reminded once again of why he loved the plant. It seemed so open and empty, yet he had never felt as if he was alone amongst the rolling hills. For starters he mediated almost daily, and whenever he allowed himself to slip into the relaxing trance he found the time spent with Rushi easily coming back to him. Rushi would of liked to have seen Namek, it would have fit the old man perfectly. If there had been away to move the large compound his Master had called home to this planet Ark believed it would have fit perfectly out in the plains, perhaps alongside a small lake. Even though he missed the old man he felt no true sadness for the man’s passing, it had been natural and after a long life, but still one never truly wanted to lose the company of a friend did they?

Looking to the android flying slightly ahead of him he wondered what the androids personality was truly like. Did androids even really have a personality? Ark admittedly didn’t know much about this one and although Drexx had seemed friendly so far was that simply because he was programmed to be so? He guessed it didn’t really matter that much at the moment, there were more important things to attend to. Hopefully after getting to know him a little better he would be able to understand the mechanical being.

As they close in on the fortress it was plain to see that the message Drexx received was not being taken lightly, bodies moving all about the construct. From the looks of it Drexx and Ark were the some of the last to arrive, most seeming ready to head out for whatever task they might have been assigned. One Namekian in particular would draw the androids attention, even eliciting a wave. They must have known each other from some past event, perhaps even friends judging by the body language as they took notice of one another.

Ark was going to help out if he could, at least in the search. From what he could tell Drexx was concerned for his safety and the human had to assume that meant the android could sense his ki signature and he was likely stronger than Ark. The Namekian that was apparently an friend of Drexx was also stronger than him, that was easy to tell. Having no idea what was going on, minus what he had learned from Drexx’s message he was not sure if he even had a role to play, but once again he would help if he could. The good thing was he was sure the two he was currently with were stronger than him and that meant if some sort of foe revealed himself those two could easily step in and Ark wouldn’t have to get involved. Being forced into a fight was not what the human was looking for. Touching down next to Drexx he would give a slight nod to the Namekian simply out of the respect he felt he owed the race in general for allowing him to so freely enjoy their planet.

Ethar had heard about recent disappearances of the people he had come to know over the past several years, and decided to see the Elder about it. To him, the thought of being a Hero might help him get hooked up with a nice Noran girl... Or maybe even a Saiyan girl, who knows.

He was vaugly familiar with the Elder's fortress, as he followed his way to the room where he felt the Elders power signature, as well as a few other people coming and going. Seems like he wasnt the only one to respond to the call for help. "Sorry Im late Elder, Its a long walk from my village. Whats all this I heard about disappearances? Any way I can help?"

[Orenji]

Orenji was waiting outside for his brother Cargo to exit the fortress. Once Orenji was outside he could see people everywhere, to many bodies to count. It seemed that the Guru had sent word to other warriors on Namek to gather and evacuate as many villages as possible. Orenji, needed to get to Pulitu village as fast as he could, but he had to wait for Cargo.

"I hope we can get everyone to safety before another village gets attacked. Drexx you need to get here fast, I don't know how long we can hold out." Orenji said looking off in the direction of Pulitu village.

Orenji took a few steps away from the fortress to make room for exiting Namekians. Seconds later Orenji would hear his name being called. He turned around to see if it was Cargo, but there was no sign of him. Orenji looked over the crowd of Namekians to see Drexx standing several feet away. There was also some human standing next to him, the two of them stood out and must of felt out of place on Namek. Making his way over to his comrade and apparently a new face.

"Well good then it seems you did in fact get my message about what is going on. To tell you the truth we have no idea what this threat is. We were told to leave the fortress and go evacuate villages on Namek. My Namekian brother Cargo and I are headed towards Pulitu village to get everyone back here. I would appreciate the two of you joining us." Orenji said looking at Drexx and the new person

Orenji was confused to see a human with Drexx, but it wasn't uncommon for Drexx to become friends with people rather quickly. Orenji nodded back at the human out of respect, and would hope he would accompany Orenji to teh village.

"I am sorry we are meeting like this, but I am Orenji and your name is?" Orenji said "We don't have much time to waste here once Cargo comes out we need to leave I apologize for the quick introductions." Orenji said looking at the human.

[Deleted]

"Orenji! It's great to see you, I was worried when I got your message." The Android embraced his Namekian friend, much to the chagrin of the green skinned warrior. He released and took a step back, taking Orenji in. The Namekian looked tired, as if the stress of what was happening was taking its toll. Drexx could understand, it was hard to face something of this magnitude. Especially when they didn't know why their brethren were missing.

The Android listened carefully as Orenji told them his plans. Evacuate a village? That was something Drexx could definitely assist with.

"Of course I'll come with you. Whatever this is we need to put a stop to it. No more innocent blood should be spilled by this threat."

The Android would have liked to enter the fortress and talk to the elder, but time was of the essence. Who knew what was happening to the other villages while they stood around talking. Taking the initiative, after Ark introduced himself Drexx would lift into the air and face the direction of Pulitu village. Innocents in need. That was the Protector's specialty. He would not fail them.

[Deleted]

Brandon asked Basna to step outside? Why? And Orenji made plans to head off to Pulitu Village, and asked Cargo to accompany him. Carnel, still healing Basna, gave a single nod at Orenji and Cargo as they turned to leave. Outside, Carnel could feel two other powers and something he could feel thought waves coming from head off with them.

Carnel spoke telepathically to everyone he had just met. "There's five off to Pulitu Village. Nahlin will send a few of the Black Gi with them." he said.

Then Basna spoke after his healing was complete. He told of how the Empire attacked the Trade... Carnel stood, shaking. "B- Blaze..." he mumbled. He squinted his eyes in an attempt to contact his Icarian son on the far away planet, but it was taking too much energy. If he tried harder, he would play himself out and not be able to relay thoughts for the defense of Namek.

He would have to silently worry about the fate of his son.

Vegeta had fallen. Kold was nearly obliterated. And the legendary Guren, now being called a slightly different name, Geurin, was on his way here? Did they not have enough problems? He looked at Basna. "We had better hope such a thing does not happen, Basna. For now, we must focus on the matters at hand." He slowly walked back to his cair and slumped down. "Please, see what Brandon wanted, then you two proceed to Danalan Village. I will send more help should more arrive."

He would wait for Basna to leave, and for Nahlin to return so the two could head to Yemall Village. But soon, amongst the trafic in the Fortress, a Red Alian of sorts came forth and spoke to Carnel. He was here to help as well. Carnel beconed him over and nodded. "Yes, there is quite an issue brewing it seems. My name is Elder Carnel..." Carnel looked over his shoulder, then up over the other for Nahlin. He was gone for sure, this time. "... ahem... sorry, I was expecting... nevermind. Um, what is your name?"

Then yet another arrived. it was Ethar, arriving from his last job. Carnel nodded to him. "Ethar, good to see you again."

The guru stood again. He looked at the Red man and Ethar and explained everything about what they had so far, and the plan of defending the villages with fake villagers who were really Black Gi Elites. He told how a large group already formed at Pulitu, and how Carnel himself was going to Yemall. "I have two heading to Danalan Village. They're names are Basna and Brandon, would you two like to head there?"

He waited on their responses, and expected they would get to know eachother a bit before heading off. Then, Nahlin returned. "Elder Guru, I have sent a total of twenty one Black Gi into the field. Each village will have seven, plus whoever you have sent to defend them." He said, and nodded to the other two. "Elder, I must ask you stay here as I go to Yemall myself. Someone must direct people who continue to arrive, and you would be safe..."

Cannel shook his head. "I'm glad you think of my safety, Nahlin, but I shall lead the force in Yemall myself. I have trained myself and will not become old and useless from sitting in a chair. I must show... whoever these people are that we are not to be crossed. Nahlin, you stay here and issue the orders."

Carnel whipped around with his metal staff in hand, and walked out of the fortress himself. He blasted into the air and off towards Yemall Village.

((Was going to have Carnel at the fortress, but then Yemall Village would be filled with all NPC's, and Nahlin is not a follower yet. So Carnel must go.))

[Deleted]

((Once you depart for a village, exit this thread and join the corresponding thread that will be made by Ammy when she chooses her target. This thread will be for new arrivals from here on.))

[Deleted]

"I know of Basna, heard quite alot about him... But this Brandon you speak of... Is he a black hair guy, with black eyes?" He asked, remembering a bloody corpse he saw outside the fortress on the plains as he travelled there.

"If so, I wouldnt count on him... Hes dead. Poor guy got a nice big hole in his gut from a massive Ki attack." He added, as he shuddered a bit as he remembered the big mess the Darkling prince was in. No amount of regeneration or healing could save him from that. "But the Danalan villiage you say? Thats actually not too far away from my village. Ill be glad to go check it out." He said, remembering the name from his studies. Ethar had been training for the past several years in a village that was northwest of Danalan, so he knew it well, although his village was much smaller then Danalan.

"I shall be there ASAP, I know shortcuts through passes, so Ill be there before Basna." He added with a smile and a nod, as he had turned, and ran out the door in an effort to be the first one to Danalan Village. His chance to be a hero had come, and he was not going to let anyone down.
