Radula ran a hand across the oddly mossy ground, the shade of a few abandoned and withered trees casting over his body. The moss here was scuffed, rolling away from the soil like a carpet, its once strong greens yellowing in the heat. He turned back to eye the smoke trailing into the sky from his recently crashed Namekian pod, along with two other plumes from afar- likely his brothers. Radula had fired a few blasts of ki into the air to signal them over, but the night skies of Vegeta was quick to take his attention, and his curiosity brought him here now, to this odd... garden of the sort. A few abandoned Ajissa trees laid about, their pots fallen and left in a hurry. What Radula could assume were the foundations of buildings were cold and ruined from the Arcosian attack months ago, but already the alien, purple-hued vines and moss had began to reclaim the land.
There were some odd "buds" scattered about, somewhat veiny in appearance. It was unlike any plant Radula had seen, and they seemed to... move every once in awhile? Regardless, the Namekian shrugged it off for now after poking the pods several times over. It would be best to wait for his siblings for now, unless--
-- CRICK --
"Wh--?!" Radula turned around to see one of the pods snap open, an odd... thing snaking out, covered in some plant goop. It gave a quick, high-pitched call from it's jagged green mouth. A saiba-snake! Radula had read up on his way to Vegeta about the wildlife, but he didn't expect to need to put his knowledge to use this soon. The creature bared out cobra-like frills and hissed, flashing it's forked tongue. " 'Ey, I won't hurt 'ya, little friend." Radula crouched down to the newborn serpent, which merely hissed and spat at the green man, causing Radula to recoil back and wipe the guck off his face with a disgusted grunt, the saiba quickly slithering off as Radula took off his hat to wipe his face with. "S-Sorry!" He called out to the animal as it rounded a corner, sighing and sitting down on a nearby rock. The other pods were shaking a little more and more every now and then... It would be best to leave, buuuut...
Hopefully his brothers would get here soon.

CLANG...
CLANG...
KA-CLANG!
With one last violent heel kick, Xylo busted the front hatch of his jury-rigged spacepod clean off, propelling it into a nearby boulder. "Ugh. I expected this from spare parts." An annoyed grumble reverberated from within the pod as the elder of the brothers slowly lurched forward, dislodging himself from the uncomfortable, mangled and now useless craft. Dusting himself off, Xylo keenly observed his surroundings. 'Red soil, pink sky. This is indeed the place we meant to find.' For a moment, Xylo took in the atmosphere. Finally, a new experience— he could feel the differences in the air, hear the little varieties of new sounds around him. Even beyond that, the ambient spiritual forces were not things he had fully experienced before in his life. Of course, given the intent behind his arrival and the circumstances thereof, Xylo found himself disappointed and angry. Though things were different to what he was used to, very much giving him the feeling of excitement... This world was recently ruined, and at its core, spiritually broken.
Exhaling sharply, Xylo's brow furrowed as he turned heel and watched the sky, seeking plumes of smoke whilst also extending his perception with his Ki sensing ability. The closest wreckage happened to be Banjo's from what he could tell and the one furthest away was Radula's... Who had already scampered off. 'Oh, great. Juuuuust great.' Xylo rolled his eyes, swiftly making his way to Banjo's landing site. "Banjo! You okay?" Xylo called gruffly upon his arrival to draw attention. "Radula has already wandered off." He explained as he approached. As if on cue, Radula's signal flares went off. "See? There he is." Xylo nodded to the flares he saw in the sky, and responded with one of his own! "I suggest we make haste with whatever crumbs you deem valuable to salvage from this wreckage and follow me. I'd wager that there are more interesting things to tinker with out here than this anyhow." Regardless, Xylo stood nearby, ready to assist Banjo if he needed any help.
After Xylo was absolutely sure that Banjo was safe and sound either with or without his help, he would slowly lift off into the air and toward Radula's presence as a guide for Banjo as well. A few moments later, Xylo arrived at the bizarre garden. Waiting for Banjo to catch up, Xylo decided to observe the area from afar with his various senses. "Very small life forces... Hmm." Curiosity piqued by the odd familiarity in what he sensed, Xylo touched down near the rock Radula sat upon. "Radula, there you are." Nodding to the middle brother, Xylo slowly and methodically looked around; seeing a myriad of pulsating pods. "Be wary, all of these indeed are alive, and if I am not mistaken, house some manner of Saiba-creature?"

From the small crater Xylo called into, the smallest and youngest of the Namekian trio was scampering around. When he hear the call of his brother he quickly scavenged through his crashed pod and grabbed what few little chip, bolts, and wires he could carry. "Hold on! I'll be there in a second!" He shouted back, once he was done, he'd quickly run up and out of the hole and quickly start making chase to his eldest brother in search of Radula. So he'd take off to the sky with them, soon meeting up with the middle child.
Once they did arrive, nothing did seem to unusual from the norm. Xylo was keeping wary, and Radula was studying the wild life. Meanwhile there was absolutely nothing that Banjo could do here. He never thought Vegeta would have jungles, but now that he knows it does, he wished they landed anywhere else besides a jungle. He could possibly fiddle around with what small parts he gathered, but the most he could create would just be an electrical shock. So he sat on a log and just barely listened in on what his oldest brother had to say about their current surroundings.
He just kinda pulled his staff off his back and spun it around while everything went over his head. The only thing that were going through were new possible devices he could find on Vegeta, or ones he could even make with the stuff he finds once they actually get to a city. That was all that was keeping him in a good mood for this journey, and so he kept the thoughts close. But in a few moments he finally snapped back to reality. With a sigh, he stared off into the shrubbery where these so called "Saiba-creatures" who's name he just barely cached in his thoughts hid.
With a bit of silence filling the air, Banjo would get back up on his feet and put his pole on his back once more. "Welp! So, did either of you think of what we'll do once we actually got here?"

And there they came- it was good to the the others' landings weren't too rough. "'Ello!" The middle sibling called with a wave,glancing to the slowly shaking saibapods nearby when Xylo gestured to them. "Yeup, one of 'em just hatched moments ago, actually. Poor things seem to have abandoned in a hurry months ago." He explained, poking one of the pods with the tip of his boot- nothing seemed to be lurching out of them again yet, but he did see the tail of the snake that hatched slither around a nearby corner. "That being said, these things ain't the only ones that were growin' 'round here." Radula crouched down, prying a fallen, potted Ajissa tree of the floor from behind some rubble. It's leaves had began to wilt, branches overgrown- several vines from some nearby alien, Vegetan weeds could be seen wrapped around the pot and seeping into the soil.
"The plan's to find wherever the rest of the gang are hidin'- I'll bet my arm there's still plenty of Nameks round here, somewhere." Radula rang- this town in this oddly luscious and overgrown part of the Vegetan wilderness had been tended to by Namekians, for sure. That would explain all the plants and the dampness in the air, at least. But Radula couldn't think for long as another crack echoed from behind the group- yet another pod had opened! Another little snake quickly slithered into a sewer grate, sending the triad of Namekians a quick hiss of warning before fading into the shadows. Radula couldn't help but to wonder if these creatures were naturally hostile, or if something had set them off while incubating.
The two pods thta just hatched were rather small, though- all the others were bigger. Much bigger. Radula bit his lip, his gaze still trailing down the town's street. "...We really should git a move on, though." As much as he wanted to perhaps earn the friendship of one of these neglected Saiba-creatures, it was far too risky for now. There were dozens of dozens of fallen, ruined machinery scattered about nearby also- pipes broken and leaking that were pumping something into the garden soil, and high-tech lights and buildings ruined in every which way, beyond complex in comparison to anything Namek had ever had despite being broken. But that wasn't why they came here. They had to find the other Namekians... Perhaps there were some stragglers still hiding somewhere in their home here? "Sensin' anyone else around here, though?" Radula rang, turning to his older brother in particular.

Xylo nodded, watching over Banjo as he did his work collecting what was deemed valuable. Tapping his foot, Xylo remained as patient as possible since he knew Banjo was really into these things. As soon as Banjo started making his way out of the crater, Xylo went on his way.
"Er, yes. H'ello, brother." Xylo smiled awkwardly. He tried hard to be inclusive of Radula's way of speaking, but even the most casual things Radula said sometimes tripped Xylo up. Tracking where Radula pointed to, Xylo used his height to his advantage to see what exactly was writing around the corner. Grumbling to himself, Xylo's brow furrowed and he adjusted his visor, becoming a tad more visibly angered. Seeing the flora native to his home-world in such a sorry state was something heartbreaking. Xylo slowly stepped forward and kneeled down as well, assisted Radula in straightening out the potted Ajissa plant, in a very rare gentle manner.
Xylo remained silent, turned away from his brothers, examining the Ajissa whole Radula explained the situation to Banjo. Xylo wasn't one for speaking very much, a silent Xylo was normal, but a silent, focused Xylo? That was another story. Thankfully, that disturbingly foreboding focus was broken by the sounds of another Saiba-pod splintering open. In a flash, Xylo suddenly stood upright and turned to aim a single orb of crackling red ki at the creature that made the wise decision to be on its way. Clenching his fist, Xylo dispelled the orb with a tense and bellicose sizzle. Xylo huffed and growled deeply as he began to storm off into the ruins, taking the most issue with the broken pipes that were leaking unhelpful and unhealthy liquids into the small farm. The Saiba-creatures didn't ask for this, they didn't deserve it. "What are you two waiting for? I can't do this by myself." Xylo snapped, heaving one of the pipes back into a better position. This was followed by another, so on and so forth until a majority were redirected.
Evidently while being angry he certainly could handle that task on his own.
Sighing, Xylo backtracked over to the Saiba-pods to investigate where they got their water nutrients from. After a brief moment of searching, he found where the water would normally come through. Xylo brought out one of his own water rations and poured out the contents into the system. "I hope this helps..." Xylo muttered, turning back to face his brothers. "Also no, not really. I only sense us, these Saiba-creatures and... Something further in." Xylo quirked an eyebrow and once again walked onward further into the ruins. "It feels like a wild spirit, I am unsure if it is sentient from this distance." He explained, slowly sliding past the corner.

Banjo couldn't argue with that plan really. Yeah this was Vegeta, but meeting up with more familiar faces would be better, so finding some Namekians was for the best at the moment. "Alright, sounds good to me." With Radula giving his suggestion for Xylo to look for energy sources. He'd simply follow his siblings on further, pulling out his staff and using it as a walking stick. As they went on, his biggest brother's comment on simply "something further in" didn't give him the best feeling. Yeah it could be a survivor of what went down, but for all they know it could also be some sort of other creature, another saiba evolution. But Banjo simply had to put up with it, he had his brothers next to him, so everything was going to be fine. "For all our sakes, I just hope 'something else isn't a cause of the reason we came here."
