OOC: Stop apologizing for everything, sheeze! It's fine!
As for what we are fighting, that's still a secret... not even Piccolo knows, he just has a kind of 6th sense that something odd is on the horizon (But hell, if I was to trust anyone's 6th sense, it would be Piccolo's).

IC: Laos.

"I don't know any more than you. By the way, I was talking to Mr. Popo earlier, and he told me who you are descended from. I guess that makes us relatives, somewhere along the line, huh?" Laos told Nilons. "I wonder how. Cousins maybe. Uh, stuff it, I can't be bothered working it out."
Laos grinned and looked over to where Ski had been standing, but he was no longer there. "Hey, where'd that new guy go?"
"Maybe Piccolo summoned him?" Nilons suggested.
"Yeah, maybe. Well, while we wait for Piccolo, why don't you show me some of your moves? You must now how to fight, if you were chosen by Piccolo. C'mon, let's have a spar." Laos said, eager to test out the girl's strength. He cracked his knuckles. "Or are you too chicken?"

Nilons

OOC: Sorry ofr apoligiseing. OH sorry wasn't.... Damn it I'm sorry. Now this is fun.

IC: A fight ha and I was just geting board. I began to blush. "I would love to spar with you........ But if you look up my skirt you'll have a real fight on hand. Understood?" Laos quickly noded and maved into fighter stance. I did the same.

I quickly whent for a kick to his head. He dodged, I knew he would see that comeing. He then contered with I ached my back and let it go right over my face taping my nose. I then droped down to sweep under his legs. I got him but he regained his balance and did a back flip. Damn he was good more of a chalenge then I had in several years.

Standing back up on my feet. "Impressed yet?" I knew he wasn't I hadn't even hurt him yet. He then did a high kick that graved my breasts. Did he mean to hit my breast. No, no, no it was an acident. I contered with around house kick. He cought my leg. My skirt lefted in the air. I thought I saw him checking out my pannties. He probably didn't but still at the time I was shure he did.

"Thats it. You have had to much fun at my exspense." I began to attack with great force and intesedy. Kick and punches were flying out of me. No one used me as an object and gets away with it. He managed to block most of my attacks he also made a conter when he could. Some conected others didn't most of the conecting hit weren't strong. He didn't know he was fighting for his life.

After several minutes I finaly cought him off gaurd. I got a good hit in on his left cheek. Before he regain balance I had hit him several more times. Some of which I knew had to hurt him. "Enough!" both of us turned our heads to see Piccolo waiting at the door. "You both seem to have lots of energy thats good. Form now on you will be in lestions when you aren't sleeping or eating."

After what may have been a punishment or how the green guy normaly operates, Laos turned to me and said "Now I'm impressed." I thought to myself he better be talking about my fighting and not what he saw. Laos then walked out the door. I ran after him yelling "You better not have seem anything."

OOC: Question did you see anything and if you did are you going to tell Nilons. Oh and how come you have no pm button that makes it harder to chat.

Nilons

Now Michio Laos and myself were outside. The place was simple in design from out here. A deceptively small central building. Many flat tyles and two rows of trees. We were in the midle of the trees. I wondered to myself were is the new guy.

"Now today," Piccolo began "We will actuly fly." I thought I herd him say hopefuly under his breath. "Some of you may learn the art faster then others. Once you feel efecent at flying you should practice sparing in the air. Air combat has always been necesary in defending earth." He then gave us the particulars of flying.

Well it looked like I needed to get over my fear of hieghts quickly. I began to concetrate my energy beneth myself. I really regreted not wearing shorts the other day. My entire body in the air was not the most modest idea.

"Nilons, here are those shorts you wanted." I turned my head to the side looking at Mr. Popo. I began "I thought you wouldn't have any." Mr. Popo then said "We didn't Piccolo made some with his energy." Wasn't that a bit of a waste. A waste of both time and energy. "Not really. I decided it was the only way you would be able to fully concetrate on the training." I turned to see Piccolo. Damn I'm not used to haveing people read my mind. Its creepy.

In order to save time I slid my shorts on under my skirt. I then slid my skirt down off my waist. I handed it to Mr. Popo just throw it on my bed. Turning back around I saw Michio inthe air punching and kicking very fast. "Shit I'm already behind." Oh wait he told me last night that he was already training himself this way. Odly his moves did seem slightly slower then Mine and Laos's. I wonder if the new guy was faster then me.

I took a stand next to Laos. He may have a head start but with how I practiced yesterday I would beat him. I centered myself on my energy. Once I found it I placed it under me, just as I was instructed to do. I felt myself rise off the ground and opened my eyes.

There moveing about infront of me was Laos again. He beat me if only by a second. I began an acward move forward. "Hey Laos whant to finish our sparing?" Before I was detracted by my skirt now I could fight a my best. Laos replied "If your up to it."

I kickly made a kick to his head. Shit I was loseing my balance and began to fall. Oddly Laos who dodged the slugish kick also seemed to lose control. We both hit the ground hard. Good thing we were only a few feet in the air.

Michio looked at use and said "You to need a lot more practice to fight in the air. Nilons, you didn't even have leverege." Well he had a point. We barly could fly and I chalenged Laos.

Nilons

Laos and I took to the air again. I followed a moment latter. We began to slowly stear around. After several hours of pratice. About six hours to be precise. We began to develop personality towards flying. Michio was the resident expert doing flips high speed turns and out monovering laos and I at every turn.

I had gained a great deal of balance now. I was able to slide around with ease. I hadn't fallen in an hour. I now was flying backwards aswell as forward. I could use my energy for leverage in kicks and punches. I could make suden moves at great speeds, I figured it was important to be able to dodge. However I never was more then four feet off the ground, I was afraid of falling. So much for flying removeing my fear of heights. Further more I couldn't move faster then I could walk and keep my balance for any length of time.

Laos was very difrent from myself he had only fallen once after our fight. I wasn't paying attention and bumped into him. Since then he had been atleast ten feet inthe air. He now was flying faster then he could run. Or at least faster then I thought he could run. I was pretty shure I could run faster then him. I watched him do a flip. It was clear to me that he had no fear of falling.

I figured I needed to practice more. As far as Piccolo was consurened we all had to be ten times better then Michio was now atleast. I really wished I knew who we were fighting.

I noticed Laos up in the air studying Michio's form. I wonder if he had already studyed my flying. I carefully flew up to him. "So Laos, You think were geting better?" He turned to me calmly. He then thought a moment before replying. "I'm geting much better, but you seem to be holding back." I looked down at the ground slightly depressed. He then continuded "Look Nilons," I looked up to see him "Its prety odvios your afraid of heights....... Let me give you some advice, just don't think of falling and you wont."

Not the most reasuring words but he could very well be right. Maybe this was a simple trick. It made perfect sense, why would I worry about something that won't happen. "Thank you Laos." I found myself blushing. Maybe I liked this man more then I thought.

Oddly I found my thoughts on my parents. I hope they aren't worried. They had no Idea were I was. "Maybe I should call home." I found myself thinking out loud. Hell my mother must be worried. Out of all the people I know my mother is the only one who thinks I can't take care of myself. Maybe I'll let her worry til I finish training. Once I can defend earth she will beleive I can handle myself. "But would it be right to let her worry like that?"

oock dude if you want to have piccolo remember me from past fightthen cool but i have a power level of 130 and have forgotten all the moves i used to know and am namekin.so am still reletively young.

ic as i walked doing what i could to remember the old days i could remember nothing.and so kept training in martial arts.

 

[Dark Warrior]

OOC: Cats - be patient and wait for others to post, rather than just firing off post after post. It would be much appreciated.
As for you, Silver wolf, I do remember your character, but do you think you could think of a creative way to add your character in? After all, the only Namek on Earth at this point in time is Piccolo, and the Earthlings don't even know about Nameks. Maybe you could come in a spaceship, knowing about the danger that was coming and wanting to help, or something like that?

IC: Laos.

Laos performed a tidy barrel roll followed by a flip-turn, and he was soon flying in the opposite direction, a wide grin on his face.
"This is great!" he yelled out, rolling over onto his back and placing his hands behind his head. He floated along slowly, closing his eyes and laughing.
"Concentrate!" yelled Piccolo, disrupting Laos. His concentration broken, he began to fall towards the ground. He desperately tried to control his energy in time, and, just inches from the floor, his whole body slowed to a stop.
"Hmmm... well done." Piccolo acknowledged. "But don't goof off like that next time." he finished.
Laos grinned and waved. "Sure, Piccolo!" then he took to the skies once again, blasting straight past Nilons, who was still looking a little bit queasy. He turned in mid-air and slowed, catching her jealous look.
"Just let your fear go! It's easy, see?" He said, making a tight 360 degree turn. "C'mon, fly up here! I'll look after you, don't worry!" he grinned, beckoning her.

Ski in "Here I am"

So here I was taking a shower when I heard a voice say "Can you hear me?" I looked around the shower and noticed that no one was inside the room but me. Powering up slightly I began to search the room.. bareass naked and all.

It is strange I can almost sense someone watching me but I could not see them. I yell out "Whoever here come out or I am going to be pissed." I looked around expecting someone to like come through the window or burst the door but instead I saw nothing. I slipped on a towel and raised my power level a little bit more is a show of my anger but instead I heard in my head "Come on you can do better than that."

Focusing a little more I raised my level to the highest I had ever been without being in an emergency. I figure this show of strength would scare away any asshole that wants to screw with me but instead in my head I heard "Simply pathetic. That show of strength is a disgrace to your ancestry. Boy I grow tired of these games. Clear your mind and all will be revealed."

I was in a bind on the one hand this could be some sick freak who like to take peeping Tom pictures of guys in the shower but on the other hand maybe it could be someone who knows something about my family. After all he mentioned my ancestry and I hardly know anything about them. Taking a chance I cleared my head and felt weird. It was almost like I was broken down and rebuilt all in the span of microseconds. I almost lost my lunch before opening my eyes. However when I opened my eyes I saw something that you do not see everyday. One was an old large green guy with a turban on his head. I guessed that this was the jackass that ruined my shower. I quickly backflipped and landed in a fighting stance and said "OK jackass you wanna insult me fine but at least find the courage to say it in my face."

I leaped at him in and attempt to kick him in the face but in a move so smooth he just moved his head slightly to the left and I went flying in to the door. Bounding back into a stance I attempted another flying kick but this time I spun my body in air so if one foot did not catch him the other would. The green guy on the other hand had other ideas. Slapping one foot away he grabbed the other foot and without much effort chucked me through the wall outside. Ok this was not working the way I planned it. I was just about to attack again when I see this jet black pudgy lil guy, two other guys around my size and a hot chick with them.

Great just what I need after getting my ass kicked by the Green giant senior citizen, he throw me into his audience Waitaminute I feel a breeze. Oh shit all this time I have been wearing just a towel. Blushing I try to retain my fighting stance while at the same time trying to not flash my package to these strangers.

 

[Dark Warrior]

Laos.

Suddenly there was a loud crash, and Laos paused in the air, looking down to see what had made the noise. To his surprise, there was a big hole in one of the walls, and a young man wearing only a towel was looking back up at them. Nilons and Michio flew down to see what was going on, and Laos was just behind them. As Nilons and Michio gave their introductions, Laos walked up.
"What the hell is going on?" he asked, looking towards the hole in the wall. Through it he could see Piccolo, looking a little bit pissed off. But then, he always looked a little bit pissed off. "Hey, Piccolo. Who's this?" Laos raised his voice so the Namekian could hear him, his eyes looking the towel-wearing guy up and down. He was pretty buff, and would probably be pretty strong. Especially if Piccolo had chosen him.

Piccolo.

"This is Ski - your new ally. He is another descendant of Gohan, though somewhat distant. He seems to be a little feisty..." Piccolo gestured at the wall as he stepped through the hole, "... but he is fairly strong. I think he would give any of you a run for your money." Piccolo now stopped, next to Ski. He placed his hand on the young man's shoulder.
"I guess you're a bit embarrased, huh? Here, let me get you some clothes..." Piccolo said with a wry smile, and the hand on Ski's shoulder began to glow. The young warrior made to release himself from the grip, but Piccolo held firm. There was a bright flash, and then Ski was in his regular clothes.

ooc:yeah noproblem i just figured that oh nevermind,,,(arent i a brat atleast thats what ash says)

ic as my spaceship landed i scaned the area for any power sources that could possibly be namekin.one seemed to stick out, a very old but powerful source.jumping in the ship i used the last of its energy resources to get to it,as i got out of the ship i saw a namek and a couple other ppl,the namek seemed to have a dejavu effect on me but since awakening on namek i havent been able to recall my past.

"greetings i am veryican, i just thought id pop in" i said with a laugh.concealing the worries i hid within me,' the namek will be able to tell something is wrong with me' i thought as i struggled to conceal it.

 

[Dark Warrior]

Piccolo.

Even Piccolo was surprised when the space ship landed right next to them; he was even more surprised when a young namekian stepped out. He looked across, and saw that everyone else was at least 3 times as surprised as he was.
"Greetings, I am Veryican, I just thought I'd pop in!" the newcomer said.
"Veryican?!?!? Where have I heard that before?" Piccolo managed to force out, his face contorted in surprise and thought.
"Who the hell are you? Where did you come from?" Laos said, stepping up beside Piccolo.
"Explain yourself, Veryican!" Piccolo said, raising a finger to point it at the young namekian. "Or I will kill you!" he finished, gritting his teeth.

 

[cats]

Nilons

OOC: Sorry bout posting there chapters. Very long and dull day for me. Wont do it again. Phenix damn, you are good at this.

IC: Looking first at the Man that was thrown threw the wall. Very long stare. The sound made me fall. I thought to myself good thing I didn't go up to Laos. Then a giant bug thing landed near me and another green guy came out. I swiitched stareing between the ship and the green guy. Then back to the broken wall, and man.

I spoke the only sentence that made since "What the hell?" I don't think any one herd me. If they did I'm suprised, I lost the abilty to hear with all the confusion. All the suden a bunch of flying humans seems to make more since. Hek it seemed compltly normal compared to this.

"I think I'll go practice more." I said. I wanted to move backwards but found myself unable to for some time. I think I'll just lesson.

 

[silverwolf]

veryican

"i dont know why i am here myself but everything here seems so familiar" i said as i stared at piccolo trying to remember some incling of my past. "i was on namek when i felt i had to come here.i dont know why but,oh its hard to explain.but here i am and trust me i mean no harm." i said trying to reassure him as i stood motionless waiting for the namek to kill me.

Ski in "The Welcoming Committee"


I stood in a fighting stance while the green guy came out from hole he chucked me though. My body was a buzzing on a mixture of pain and adrenaline and I was surrounded...wearing only a fricking towel. Oh what I a fighter I turned out to be.

I was just about to strike when the large green guy started talking nice about me so I loosened up a lil bit with my main problem being I was just wearing a towel. When he put his hand on my shoulder I took it as a sign of good faith. However when he smiled and his hand began to glow the only thing I could think was "Oh shit this is gonna hurt" as I prepared to be blown to smitherneens or have my ribs ripped out or something freakish like that. I struggled to get out of his grip yelling "Hey cut that shit out. Isn't there laws against someone your age grabbing a almost naked 18 year old guy. "

I tried to squirm but to no avail as this green guy has one hell of grip. I tried swinging my arms but he was too far away for me to punch. Suddenly my body began to glow too. I was thinking "oh shit this is the part where I explode in a gory mess." Preparing to be blown to shreds, I was blinded by my own body in a brilliant flash. When I regained my eyesight I realized I was no longer wearing just a light towel but instead I was in my regular clothes. Hey wait I was not blown to OZ and I get my clothes back too. Friggin Sweet.

I was just about to play twenty questions when I saw a spaceship. Then another green guy comes out except this one looks younger. Ok lemme get this straight flying people, green men, spaceships. Oy vey where the hell did I end up. Then one green guy threatens to blow the other one up when I raise my eyebrow and yell "Lemme get this straight you are gonna kill this guy because he popped in for a visit. Gee I love the welcoming committee here. It is so much better than the one in Beauruit."

OCC: Thanks Cats. I am just trying to keep everyone entertained. Plus you aint so bad yourself

 

[Dark Warrior]

Piccolo.

Piccolo powered down subtly, letting his finger drop.
"Veryican... I could swear I had heard that name before. I start to forget things though, in my old age and all. Come, you will have to talk with me. As for you," Piccolo now turned to Ski, who was looking very surprised and was babbling questions, "go with these three." he gestured at Laos, Nilons, and Michio, "they'll fill you in on why you're here."
With that Piccolo gestured for the young namek to follow him. He did not wait for Veryican, however, instead walking straight into the main building, with Mr. Popo scurrying behind him.

Laos.

"Man... everything's going a bit fast for me." Laos said with a grin aimed at Michio and Nilons. Their stunned expressions and inability to respond were enough to tell him they felt the same way. He turned to the new guy.
"Ski, is it? I'm Laos." he said, offering his hand to Ski.

 

[cats]

Nilons

"Hey I'm Nilons." I told him. I began to smile atleast this guy will have to cetch up with me and not the other way around. Michio then introduced himself. I decided I should get back to my flying. I may not use it to get off the ground but I could already fly faster then I could run. Besides when I'm flying I don't need a leg to stand on.

"Hey Michio, sense you are the best at flying why don't you teach him?" Michio thought for a minute and proposed "I will if wile I'm training him. You let Laos train you. You have to catch him." I thought for a minute. What was his goal Laos isn't much faster then me. Maybe he wanted to help both of us to know what its like to actuly have a purpose in flying. "Shure I'll go for that."

Michio then signaled for Laos to come close. "Laos, try to make her get up high with out her realiseing it." Laos noded. he then flew off. I gave him a few seconds lead, with every intention of building my speed and agilty.

 

[Guest]

Good 2 c u using the initiative, Talon. Interesting, verrrrry interesting.
Keep it up. sometime soon I may be able to rejoin Lit once more... I hope.
Keep up the writing people!


TREY


________________
Be excellent!

 

[Dark Warrior]

OOC: Talon? Who are you talking to? And why are you unable to rejoin lit Trey?
Oh well, these questions will probably remained unanswered. I'm not fussed, just curious.

IC: Laos.

Laos loved the feeling of the wind blowing past him at a gale force. Flying was the greatest thing in his world this far. He turned, slowing down just a touch, to see Nilons flying towards him at great speed.
"Damn... she's got faster." he said under his breath, slowing down almost to a stop as she came closer. He charged himself up, making his body as tense as a spring, ready at any second to move off at a big pace. As she came close, he spurred himself sidewards, and turned to see her fly straight through where he had just been, and quickly turn to fly towards him.
"No time to mock her. That's unfortunate." he thought, spurring himself past her again and in the opposite direction. He turned his head as he flew, yelling a challenge behind him.

 

[cats]

Nilons

"No time to mock me. When I get my hands on you, you better be ready to spar." Even if he is good he will regret mocking me. He just gave me the motivation to kick his ass.

Laos stoped sat there waiting for me. I sped up so I could get him. Damn it he moved out of the way. Same move as last time, the clasic spin used in football. He once again gained a lead because of the time I needed to turn.

I liked this game it seemed more like a game then training to "save the world". Shure this guy is green and tought us to fly but there is no one trying to destroy the world. Ofcaorse if there was some one as powerful as he says it would take more then four people to stop him. This though was fun something I hadn't done for quite some time, was enjoying myself.

Laos once again stoped. This time was probably because I wasn't paying any atention to him. I was just thinking to myself. Unfortunatly for him I now was thinking about this game. I figured I would take a difrent aproach, a slow aproach and then dart at him when he tryed to turn.

Laos watched my slow aproach. "Oh Nilons trying to out smart me now? Well will I go left or right? I just don't know." Laos was just playing around with me. I moved within three feet before he moved. He swiftly moved upward and backwards. I gave chace. I finally cought him. Mostly because he didn't try to dodge me just out run me.

"Hey Nilons, Look down." I did as laos instructed. I was shoked. I was atleast 40 feet high. My consotration was broken as I was over takein with panic. "Holy Shit!!!" I fell unable to maintain flight. 20 feet and droping I saw Laos rushing after me, His arm outstretched screaming "Grab my hand!". I cought his hand no more then ten feet from the ground. My fear had rendeered me helpless. I would not fly up high into the air again for some time.

 

[Phoenix]

Ski in "Questions"


After being send off by Green guy to go train with the others I wanted to know to know what the heck was going on. Suddenly once we are few feet away from the aliens, the two guys and that hot chick took off into the air. Ok lemme get this straight 2 green guys a flying saucer, my towel turning into my training clothes and now flying people. When I find the guy who slipped me those purple happy pills, he is a dead man.


Noticing that no one was filling me in, I decided the only way to get some answers is to be loud. I tried yelling but they seemed too cough up in flying to notice me. Seeing one of the fancy floral pots in to the corner I had an idea. The hot chick and that Loa, Leo, Loas or some shit like that. I knew that at the height they were at, I would not be able to get that pot up there but bouncing all the wall I good up in the air seveal feet then chucked the pot in the air right between them. Landing on my feet, I awaited them to come to me. I wanna know why am I here, why are they here, what is going on, how do you fly, and most importanty what is that hot chicks phone number.

 

[Dark Warrior]

Laos.

Laos slowed down, narrowly avoiding a flying pot which passed between him and Nilons. He looked over to see Ski, looking a bit pissed off.
"Uh... looks like he's a bit impatient." he said to Nilons with a grin as the two slowed and landed.
"Are you OK?" He asked, placing a hand on her back. The sickly shade of green her face had turned was enough to tell him how she was. "Sorry 'bout that... but it's for your own good, you know?" he said, patting her softly on the back. She threw a punch at him out of nowhere, but he instinctively ducked and dodged backwards.
"Hey, hey, enough time for that later! Let's go fill that Ski guy in." Laos said, grabbing a hold of Nilon's wrist before she could strike again. Seeing that she had relaxed, he walked past her, and over to where Ski was now standing, his arms crossed and a "hurry up before I kill you" look on his face. Laos looked across at Michio.
"Hey, big guy, I thought you were going to tell him all about everything? Seems to me you know more than any of us." Laos stopped, turning back to Ski. "Oh, sorry. Alright, this is a long story, so get ready."
When they had settled down, he began to tell about the saiyans, the nameks, the Z fighters of old, Piccolo, flying, and the trouble that was looming on the horizon. Damn, he thought, I don't know why I bought this... it all sounds so... strange. But then, how else do you explain old green people, space ships, a big platform in the sky, and being able to fly?

Piccolo.

"Popo, go get us something to drink. Veryican, make yourself comfortable." Piccolo said as he took his seat on his throne, leaning his staff against the ancient chair. He waved Veryican towards a nearby seat.
"This is a very long story Veryican. It has been a long time since I sorry another Namekian; too long have I been away from my own people. I don't know why you are here, but something tells me its not just coincedence. And I, for one, am a big believer of fate. Well, here goes." Piccolo said after Veryican had gotten comfortable. He then prepared to tell the young Namek everything he had told the others earlier.

 

[Kelson]

Another Fighter?

The young human's vision blurred as he fell to his knees, his arms over his stomach as his assailant's blow crumpled him.

"Oomph!" he exclaimed, his instincts already warning him to fall backwards.

Never one to act quickly enough it seemed, the white-haired boy caught a swift kick to his jaw, the hard boot-heel breaking flesh and releasing blood.

Experience had the white-haired one back on his feet in a flash though, a second kick narrowly missing before the 19-year old moved towards the rather large thug who had accosted him. Taking heed to the other's brute strength, Kelson decided dodging would be better then blocking...but not fast enough to stop his arm from getting in the path of the thug's powerful blow; powerful enough to hurl our young friend into the house next to him or prevent the resulting fall to the ground.

Slowly, ever so slowly, Kelson stood back up, a drizzle of blood running down his chin from his broken lip and onto the white training gi he was wearing. A now dirt-covered hand coming up to wipe it away, Kelson looked into the eyes of an adversary he knew too well.

"So, where are your kung-fu moves now Mr. Black Belt, huh?" Asked the beefy thug, his hamfists clenching and unclenching.

"Are you going to come beat me up now, do some taikwondo on me? What's the matter big stuff," continued the brute, shoving Kelson against the wall again, "gunna pansy out on me? Gunna prove what a pussy you are?"

Kelson fixed hard, cold eyes on the man...trying to control his anger behind the discipline he had been taught in class, "Just go away Brutus, you know I don't want to hurt you."

"Hurt me? HURT ME?!?" cried the one named Brutus, his fist already going for Kelson's head.

With a quick sidestep, Kelson had dodged the attack and countered it with an even quicker snap of his leg, his foot crashing into Brutus' ribs with enough force to send Brutus crashing into several trashcans.

Sighing to himself, Kelson wiped the blood from his lips again, looking down at his stained Gi then starting on his mile long trek home.

OOC) Hey guys, new to these forums, but it looks interesting so far...should be able to post fairly frequently. I'm free to be brought up to Kami's lookout whenever you're ready. Not a diehard DBZ fan, but I did see it occassionally and I know enough to function in it...or should.

BTW, Kelson is a white-haired (thus his constant fighting and above-average powerlevel) 19-year old currently training as a martial artist. He has no saiyan blood (figured at least one person should be fully human ) and has generally been rather passive his entire life, at least in conversation.

ooc: Hey guys and gal, I'm back. Thanks for using my character so well. I'm sure Piccolo will pick you up sometime soon Kelson and welcome.

ic: I feel pretty special considering the fact that I seem to know more about things going on here than anyone else does, but it's not going to my head. I'm a pretty stoic kind of guy and very honorable so I'm always trying to help others.

Anyways, after our near accident with Nilons and Laos, I get everyone together and we sit under one of the palm trees for shade.

"Alright everyone, since Ski is new here and I think everyone should be on or about par in the knowledge dept., I'll try to fill everyone in as best I can."

I pull out the Scarlet covered book and open it up to show everyone.

"This book was written by Gohan, my ancestor and I'm guessing the ancestor for at least one of you too. He was a Saiyan Warrior, but became a Professor and in time his strength degraded as his mental acumen increased. Before he died, he wrote this book, detailing practically everything we would ever need to know about our families, their abilities and anything else. He was pretty thorough, however he wrote the information in code and I'm still trying to decifier the codes."

Laos replies, "Leave it to our ancestors to make things much harder than it has to be. Why didn't he just write it so we can read it?"

"As far as I know, it's because of fear... Fear of what might happen if we did know everything and didn't have the knowledge and experience to use it correctly. Vegeta was a prime example."

Laos then gets angry saying, "Don't you DARE talk smack about my family Michio or I'll make you eat your words!"

I calm him down and say, "I'm not trying to get you mad Laos, but this is the truth that I've been able to decifer from the Book of Saiyans. Before Vegeta got married to his wife and had Trunks and Bra, he was a very mean person. He was the Prince of Saiyans and believed that everyone should bow at his feet, especially since he worked for a very bad character named Frieza. This guy was practically Evil Incarnate. Vegeta was mentally "poisoned" by Frieza and for the early part of his life he found himself in fighting and killing. It wasn't until he made it to Earth and fought Goku and Piccolo that he realized the fact of him not being the best. Vegeta then devoted his life to besting Goku and his children Gohan and Goten. Eventually, after falling in love with Bulma and having 2 kids with her, Trunks and Bra, that he realized the need to regulate how he does things. He couldn't just do whatever he wanted because he had the responsibility to use his powers wisely. The last thing he wanted to do was injure his family or those that had nothing to do with those evil ones that attacked the Earth. Do all three of you understand?"

Laos, Nilons and Ski all nod their heads.

Now then, are there any other questions or should we start sparring again after I help Ski learn to fly? Oh, by the way. No disrespect Nilons since you seem to want to go after Laos but if we spar, I want to try my moves on Laos and let you handle Ski and ease him in. That is if we spar... unless someone has a question for me that I hopefully have decrypted from the Book.

In Ben Stein's voice from Ferris Bueller's Day Off...
Anyone.... Anyone...?

 

[Dark Warrior]

OOC: Welcome aboard Kelson. I believe we have enough people now, so I would ask that nobody else join in. If a position becomes available for any reason later on, I will post a Casting Call.

IC: Laos.

"Wait, wait, wait. Michio. So these guys... Vegeta and Piccolo and the others... could fly. If they are such mighty warriors like everyone says, they must have been able to do something else? Do you know anything about their other powers? And if so, can we learn to use them?" Laos said, standing up and punching his palm. " 'Cause, you know, if we have to fight this evil that's threatening Earth and all... I think we'll need more than just flight, if you know what I mean." he said with a grin that looked scarily like the ones that often adorned Vegeta's face, years and years before now.

Piccolo.

Piccolo suddenly reeled back, half-way through his explanation to Veryican.
"Wait..." he said to the young namek. He had felt a power level flare down below... if he could feel it from here, it must be fairly powerful.
"There... another one of the fighters..." he said through clenched teeth, trying to focus his concentration on the new fighter's power level. He couldn't quite identify it, but it was well over 100. Yes, this was one of them, he thought.
Once more, he tried to attune himself to this young man's mind, trying to establish the mental link which would enable him to speak telepathically and to transport the young human to Piccolo. Once he felt the presence of the young fighter's mind, Piccolo closed his eyes, concentrating.
"Human.... can you hear me?"

 

[Kelson]

Contacted

"Human...can you hear me?"

The young man stopped...a scowl on his face and eyes roving the street as he yelled, "Who's there?!?" to the great surprise of several pedestrians.

"Please be calm and clear your mind, then all shall be revealed"

No one had spoken...at least he hadn't seen anyone speak...definately not quitely enough to be that whisper he was hearing. 'Maybe,' he thought, 'I should get outta here...probably another of Yorin's thugs out to get me'

"No, no...just do as I say, you will not be harmed"

Kelson slowly moved away from the street into an alley before continuing.

'Can you hear my thoughts?'

"Yes, young one."

'Are you a psychic? Why are you bothering me?'

"I am no psychic, now clear your mind!"

The last word came with a booming echo that sent quivers of fear through Kelson...an alert mind taking its time to decide whether to do as the voice in his head said or not; however, 5 minutes later Kelson was sitting cross-legged on the hard, bumpy road as he cleared his mind as his teachers had often taught him.

Suddenly he felt something change...a slight alteration about him and there was a sudden breeze, an uncommon thing for inside the city. His eyes opened and there, before him, was an old green creature with a younger one nearby...and beyond him the still steaming shell of a spaceship. Kelson didn't happen to see the other 'humans' at Kami's Lookout, for he stopped looking about and looked back at Piccolo with a single questions burning in his mind...

'How did you do that?'

OOC) Sorry for taking over Piccolo for that discussion, just didn't think anyone would really like reading over 20 posts of conversation and figured the result would be the same; hope ya don't mind.
