The sun burned high over the trees of Mount Paozu. The birds sang, the wind blew gently through the trees, flowers bloomed...and a little green figure trudged his way through the forest, looking like he was having the worst day of his life in this beautiful landscape. Said figure was a Namekian boy, shorter than average for his race, wearing tattered blue and white robes. His nice white pants had brown mud stains on them from the dirty puddle he'd fallen into not an hour ago, and there was a slump to his back and shoulders as he navigated the wilderness, like he'd been at this for a while, and it was wearing on him. 'This' being finding his way out of these dragon-forsaken mountains.
The Namekian, Chime was his name, had crash-landed on Earth only a couple of days ago, on one of the rocky spires of Mount Paozu. He'd promptly been attacked by a very rude dinosaur (nevermind that he'd fallen into its backyard and then thrown a rock at it. He was only looking for help, really!), and his little one-man ship had been ruined beyond function. Chime had survived, though, and since then, had managed to make his way out of the more mountainous region of Paozu and into the forest. He knew that if he just went in one direction long enough, he'd get out of this wilderness, and find some sort of civilization, but he'd been out here for a couple of days and not seen even a single house, so it's entirely possible he got lost.
Chime was shaken from his gloomy thoughts by the gentle bubbling sound of a stream. His antenna perked up immediately. Water! Probably clean water, too, not like that muddy puddle he'd fallen into. He was so thirsty and dirty that the sound of water felt like the best thing he'd heard in his life, and he ran through the trees toward it with abandon. Once he pushed through the brush enough to reach it, he saw it wasn't just a stream, but a big river, complete with a waterfall! The little Namekian's joy doubled and he scrambled his way over to the bank to outright stick his whole head in, without any care for what, or who, else might be around.

Welcome, hope your stay is fun. Powerlevel:23,700 Mollusc was back wandering thinking of rules that Porunga would want him to follow. So he could spread his word with concentrate laws to dictate. A religion could not be much without rules and codes after all. One of the things he had learned from earth, most people would not just be sold on the powers of Porunga. They needed to know who he was and what he had done other than the dragonballs. He had gotten about fifteen pages done but now it was time for a break. To rest and relax outside the cities. Somewhere more in line with his vision of his homeland Namek. He had never seen it but he assumed it looks something like this area. Large rivers, Mountains, and woods. Seemed fitting enough to Mollusc.
As he walked he did see something in the distance. He'd look overseeing a green figure come from a bush. He was near a large waterfall and river. He seemed to be drinking in the water with no regard. He decided it would be good to go check out who he was. He could spread the words of Porunga. This weary travel he presumed would be open to the words of Porunga and how he could bring them a much better life if they prayed to him and no other. When he got close he realized this was a human but a namekian. He had only seen two other namekian so he was shocked to see another. He rushed overlooking over him trying to figure out what clan he was. He seemed sorta small. Then again he didn't seem to be a child. An in between. He must have been of the Dragon Castle. He got on his knees bowing to Chime, "Hello gracious champion of Porunga. I am Mollusc. I hope your stay on earth has been good so far." He wanted to make sure he was doing whatever he needed to do if he was a dragon cast member. He could tell his purpose. What Porunga desired the most out of him.

With his head dunked under the water, Chime couldn't hear the stranger approaching until they were right up next to him. He sputtered and coughed as he pulled himself upright again, and scrambled a good few feet backwards across the grass with his hands held up, ready to defend himself. He'd been expecting a dinosaur, or whatever other horrible beasts live in these mountains, intent on eating him alive, but instead he's faced with...a person. Another Namekian, more specifically, and a kneeling one at that. Naming him a 'gracious champion', of all things. The shock and fear on his face instead turned to confusion, and he stammered a few times before he could get proper words out.
"U-um. Hello! I...I dunno about 'champion', but I'm Chime! My stay's been, uh..." He began, then looked down to his tattered and muddied clothes. His stay on the planet so far hadn't been very welcoming, and it was reflected in his dress. He'd only been here a couple of days, and he was already a mess! Chime internally cursed himself, what must he look like to this Mollusc fellow? Not a 'champion' of their people, that was for sure, more like a lost little boy. Then he curses himself a second time; he can't give up that easily! Even if he looked a mess, he could still act with dignity. This was the first friendly soul he'd met on this planet, after all, he needed to make a good first impression. He clears his throat abruptly, then continues, "Anyway! I wasn't expecting to see another Namekian again so soon! Are there many of us here? On Earth, I mean."

(I don't have a right arm and I do have a left eye) Taiko decided not to wear his WTF standard issue uniform since it had been tattered for some time now. He decided to roam around these parts instead with just his dark blue robes. He began to sense to individuals that were fairly close to him and deciding to meet them. Upon reaching his destination, he spotted the both of them just meeting one another for the first time. The adult like namekian greeted the child like appearance namekian and the child namekian responded with a defensive approach. Looking over at his current attire, it looked like he had a rough time while on this planet. Taiko going over to the two of them with closing both his eyes so passively with a friendly smile, he rubbed the back of his head as he stopped mid way from reaching the both of them. "Wow ain't that some coincidence huh, I almost mistook the both of you for my own species. The names Taiko, it's nice to meet the both of you."He opened his eyes soon after speaking and greeted them with a friendly smile. 23,590 Pl

Mollusc saw the man pull his head out of the water. He seemed afraid of something and he seemed unable to get any words out? Had Mollusc done something wrong? How would Porunga forgive him for scarring one of his champions? Then the namekian spoke. He was unsure about being a quote on quote champion. He frowned. That was bad to hear. "So you are not of the dragon caste?" Mollusc asked with a confused look on his face. He assumed all Dragon caste members were champions of Porunga. He called himself Chime. Mollusc nodded looking back up at the man tattered clothes. Seemed he had been having a hard time. He looked for anything that may have been the cause of his dirty clothes. By Porunga wrath he'd punish them for this insult. He'd not see anything though and he'd not leave Chime so, for now, he contained his rage.
He'd move over putting his hand on Chime so he could clean some of the dirt off his clothes. It'd prob would not help that much but it was the least he could do for a member of his own people. He then heard him clear his throat. He was surprised to see another of his kind and was curious if there many more of them on this planet. Mollusc moved one of his hands back resting on his chin. He had only met a couple of his kind but he wanted to be as accurate as possible for the namekian. "Lets me see. There is not too many of us. I've only met two other namekians. First was another of the Mazoku he was some sort of crime guy. I really didn't know but unsavory type. Then there was another dude I saw a glimpse of him. A namekian working for the WTF. Those are the only two I can think of on the top of my head. That is quite alright, however, they're a lot of good people that are not of our kind. So I'd not worry too much about it."

When Chime saw the other Namekian frowning in confusion, he frowned himself. That was no good, he shouldn't be worrying his first potential friend on Earth! He waved his hands in front of him as he replied, a little frantically, "Oh, no, no! I'm definitely Dragon Caste! It's just, uh..." He stopped to rub the back of his neck in a sheepish gesture, "I'm still in training. That's why I came out here! To learn more about the world!" His nervous movements stilled when Mollusc reached out to clean some of the dirt off his robes. He's still looking pretty messy and ragged by the time the other Namekian is done, but it's better than before, "...Thanks." Chime said, and gave a small, but grateful, smile.
He's about to ask more about these other Namekians, the Mazoku and the...WTF? That sounded strange. But before he could get his questions out, another figure approached the river. Similar in strength to this Mollosch fellow, he could sense, and for a moment he hoped for another of his kin, until the stranger stepped into view. Antenna didn't sprout from his head but horns, and he had a serious look about him. His words were friendly enough though, but Chime scooted a little closer behind Mollusc before he replied. Just in case.
"Nice to meet you, too! I'm Chime. Erm...what is your species, if you don't mind me asking? I've never seen someone like you, is all."

"Ah yes, I'm a Gorge species, we live on the planet Gorge and are a de evolved type of people.. We don't have advance technology like this planet has...It's quite interesting to say the least.. I even met a robotic fellow that looked like the humans here... I couldn't sense his ki or aura presence... Rather strange indeed. I say the both of you are namekians.. I had met a pair a while back and boy were they strong...
Taiko looking to the much stronger namekian and seeing if his notices anything out of the ordinary about his uniform. Perhaps an insignia of some kind since he has encountered so many in the past. Then he would look at the other namekian, trying to see any insignias on his uniform as well. He then looked to their eyes with a casual smile.
"I know these parts of the woods may seem dangerous, but I believe if we stick together, we can traverse through these woods safely."
He made his way over to the lake and looking at his own reflection. He took a kneel and gathered a cup of water with his only arm and drank the water as he brought it close to his mouth. Thirst he was, and boy did it refresh his mouth.

Mollusc finally turned around as he saw a new figure. He felt Chime get closer but he didn't think it was needed. Still, to make a champion of feel safe he'd do anything. He was a blue man with red horns. He nodded to him as he turned back listening to Chime. He explained he was a part of the dragon caste but he was training. He frowned, it was a shame he could not communicate with Porunga. He'd have to wait for his answers. That did remind him of someone Chime prob wanted to meet in Neo. Neo was trying to make dragonballs, Chime may be training but both could work together. Maybe with both magic powers, they could create these dragonballs. When he thought of that it made him take a closer look at this guy. Then he shrugged, he felt like he had seen this man somewhere before but he had no idea where.
He heard Chime ask who he was his species was. This Gorge race he had never heard of. He talked about how he meet an android. Then he talked about how he meets two other namekians who were quite strong. He put his hand on his chin in deep thought. He was trying to think of any two pairs of namekian he might of meet. Sure there was that Wtf Soldier...He really needed to look out better for people. The Mazoku could give birth to children after all. Maybe it was one of those. It didn't matter though. He saw Taiko was looking at him to see anything out of ordinary. He didn't carry around a Saiyan army badge but he did carry his large book in his hands. The book of Porunga he was making. The man talked about how these woods may be dangerous if they went together they be safe. He let out a laugh. "What in these woods could be dangerous." He looked over to Chime again. "So you cannot talk to Porunga yet? That is fine, I was hoping to one day ask him of my purpose. I believe I am his true champion but I wanna know what I should do for him. Anyway, it is good your safe i'll make sure no harm comes to you." He said looking back at Taiko. Having another person around would be good. If trouble did appear out of nowhere.

Chime had to think on that a moment. He'd never heard of the Gorge people in stories before. Maybe they were from a very far off part of the galaxy? He stood, and stepped out a bit from behind his fellow Namekian when the stranger, Taiko, didn't make any aggressive moves, but only went to get a drink of water, and even offered to help. Maybe he shouldn't be judging on appearances so quickly. As for his own appearance, Chime had no distinctive symbols or markings on his clothes. Just a simple white outfit with a blue robe over it, and a necklace of large orange beads, somewhat reminiscent of Dragon Balls.
At the talk of dangerous things in the woods, he looked up at them both, "There's creatures living out here! Dinosaurs, at least! One tried to eat me a couple days ago," he told them, "But if we stick together, we should be okay! You guys seem pretty strong. I've been trying to find a town or city or just...people, in general."
When Mollusc asks about Porunga and champions, Chime turned to him, "And, um. I can't talk to Porunga, no. I can heal people though, if that helps?" He held up his hands and let a peaceful blue aura surround them for a moment, to demonstrate, "But, hey, if you're his Champion, it can't be coincidence that I found you! Maybe that's why I was supposed to come out here!"

Taiko looked to the both of them and saw the child like namekian reveal himself more and not seeing Taiko as a threat. He nodded at him as he rose to his feet and looked to the both of them.
"Ah yes.. dinosaurs.. they are troublesome indeed.. "
Just when Taiko was about to continue speaking, a massive size dinosaur entered their pathway and was heading towards the two namekians in a quick haste and in a means of eating them up. Taiko without lifting a single finger, used his telekinesis to lift the dinosaur into the air and hurled him straight at a thick tree that soon collapsed upon impact. The dinosaur was indeed injured and soon knocked out in the process because of the injury.
"That was a close one huh? So where would you guys like to go from here?"

Mollusc looked at Chime as he explained a dino had tried to eat him. It filled his heart with rage. These Dinos would learn there place against a champion of Porunga. Were there minds so little they could not understand who they had attempted to slay, to feed on? Mollusc growled with rage before he focused back on the conversation. Chime noted he just was looking for town or other people. "Yes, I know a couple of others. A girl who looks to create dragonballs. Perhaps if you two work together you can." Mollusc smiled as they walked. Forest was peaceful for the time being before a large dinosaur rushed towards them. Before they could ao anything Taiko threw the dinosaur aside with ease. Seemed he had some mind powers. He just stared at the beast. He was going to see what Chime wanted to do with the unconscious beast.
He then thought back to an earlier thing Chime had said earlier in that it must have been a sort of fate for him to have found him. It must have meant if he had found and began to help Chime that was the will of Porunga. He smiled, that was very true. Why else would he be out here? Simply this could only be the only reason, to follow the will of Porunga. "Yes, Porunga will be proud I have helped you. I can only hope. That is what is most important to me." He turned back looking at Taiko as he asked where they wanted to go. He turned to look at Chime, "It is wherever Chime wants to go. He is a champion of Porunga in training after all. Porunga will show him the way through these forest to wherever he needs to go." He turned to look at Chime waiting to see where he wishes to go.

Before Chime was able to answer anyone's questions, the giant dinosaur came roaring through the trees. He screamed in fear, squeezed his eyes shut, and threw his hands over his head. That blue energy from a moment ago was summoned again, and now covered not just his hands, but his whole body in a protective bubble of ki. When nothing mades impact with the barrier like he was anticipating, he squinted one eye open, and looked around. Then had to blink in surprise. Oh. Well. It looked like these two were even more powerful than he thought.
He dismissed his barrier and straightened his clothes out somewhat to try and regain composure, "Good job, Mister Taiko! That's pretty impressive. We, uh..." He glanced over to where the dinosaur was slumped against the tree, "We should get out of here before it wakes up, huh? I bet it'll be mad." He smiled at the two of them, but at Mollusc's mention of Porunga 'showing him the way', he falters, "Oh, erm. I-- I dunno about that! I've been kinda lost out here, and I honestly don't know what's around to go to. I don't have a map or anything." He fidgeted with his bead necklace as he thought, "I would like to meet that dragon ball girl, but maybe let's get to wherever the nearest town is, first?"

Taiko nodded at the childlike namekian and agreed to their destination to head into town. Taiko decided to take the lead as he beckoned the both of them towards his direction.
"Town huh, I know the way."
Taiko had advanced forward, hopping the both of them would follow right behind him in the process. While he walked he would briefly look over the shoulder to see if they still followed him.
"You know back on my planet, we didn't have the luxury of these cities, in fact, all we had were villages and farm type of environments instead. This planet clearly isn't much for farming and such... With these big size cities and the rural areas long forgotten, you wonder if anyone even lives out here anymore.."
Taiko chuckling at the thought and continued to advance forward, in hopes of making it to the city in hopes of actually going their for the first time himself.
"So If I may ask about you two, have any of you joined up with any groups lately? or have you been alone out here by yourself?"

Chime stated there were going to leave before the dinosaur woke up. He nodded with him and made sure to stay with him. Taiko stated he knew a way to a town but he was focused on Chime. He seemed to not have the faith in Porunga. Sure, he was of the dragon caste but it required real fate. The type of fate that you had to put yourself into with open arms. The type of faith that you won't ever steer away from. He could understand it was not easy, he nearly lost faith in him but he had shown him a sign back on Vegeta. Gave him a direction and he followed it. He decided to impart this wisdom to Chime.
"I know it can be hard. I am of the warrior caste. I have dreamed to be able to speak to him, to have the connection like your clan has but I was born to fight not to guide people in his honor. I'm just a warrior to fight for his causes and those who had enlisted as his champions like the dragon caste. That is what I believe. I believed I had nowhere to go till I got a sign from him on my semi-home of Vegeta. I heard his roar, and I heard his words. I must protect the saiyans. That what he told me. That was it though. So I had a purpose so I strided towards growing stronger for that purpose. It gave me a drive I didn't have. I know not many namekian believe in strong as I do in Porunga. He is our God who blesses us with the power to change our fates. Yet, we forget he could take that power and we must thank him for such powers. That what I believe anyway." He nodded afterwords to Chime words about wanting to meet the girl he had talked about. It'd be good for them to try and create the dragonballs. She had the power and he had the knowledge.
He turned looking back at Taiko. He had asked him if he had joined any groups. He assumed he meant the warring factions. He'd look at Taiko and cracked his neck. "Yes. I am apart of the Saiyan Solar Empire. Porunga told me I must protect the Saiyans. Untill I am finished with that, given new orders or die I cannot stop. That is why I live. To serve Porunga and his champions. Even if I feel otherwise." He mostly made sure to make his stance clear so no one tried to tell me to go switch sides. It was not going to happen. Unless Porunga himself told him.

Chime followed along after Taiko, glad to have someone that knew where they were going. He kept pace alongside Mollusc as they walked, and listened to the two of them talk. The more the other Namekian talked, about faith and Porunga, the more he frowned. He didn't know if he'd call himself a 'champion' of anything, at least not yet. And he revered the great dragon, certainly, but not nearly with the enthusiasm that Mollusc was showing. Maybe Namekians from off-planet were different...? He didn't want to offend, and so chose his words carefully, "Well, uh, that's good you're so...passionate!" Chime nodded, "He wants you to protect...the Saiyans? But Saiyans are supposed to be incredibly strong, aren't they? Why do they need protecting?"
He turned to address the back of Taiko's horned head when he asked about groups and factions, and answered with some confusion, "I'm of Namek? I guess? I only made my way to Earth a few days ago." He shrugged. Chime had never considered himself part of a group, per se, except for the Dragon Caste, simply because as someone growing up on Namek, there wasn't exactly another group to be part of.
