Galaxy Hopping (NPC Required; Invites Only)

[Arcadia]

Arcadia was standing somewhere in a desert environment on an unknown planet in an extremely well known area of the universe. The core. The core was a very broad area with a very broad description and in fact the only thing that could be said about the core was that it was the centre of the universe. Other descriptions of it were that it was a place that one could travel the far reaches of the universe all from one spot, but the most common of all it's descriptions was that it was confusing. A total brain-fart.

"Great. Fantastic. Beautiful. I travel to the centre of the universe and end up in a desert..." she grumbled, brushing some dust from her shoulder, "And what's worse is that I have no sun cream! I'll be burnt by the time I get out of here!"

The feline woman stood in the glazing sun and looked around her. The atmosphere around this planet was very low. You could see the moon and the sun in the sky at the same time but they were partly obscured by thick clouds, probably formed of dust since this place seemed almost devoid of water. The view was incredible but so was the heat.

It was a good thing Arcadia had a habit of dressing in slightly revealing clothes as her shoulders were exposed as were a good portion of her upper arms and the upper part of her legs. She picked light clothing today upon the Supreme Kai's recommendation. It was clear he'd been here before.

She wagged her tail around frantically trying to look for shade or water but there was a fat chance of that happening.

Okay note to self: There is no way I'm coming back to this planet. I'm hopping in from another galaxy next time she said, covering her shoulders with her hands so they wouldn't burn.

She was here for a reason. Arcadia was returning from one of her many quests in order to complete a much larger quest on the behalf of the planet of the Kai's and all that was good in the universe. She had to make her way back to the eastern galaxies and find the dragon balls.

In a way this was the final part of her training before she came back. She had been told she was not to instantly transmit herself back to the Supreme Kai but travel like a pilgrim back to the eastern galaxy and overcome any obstacle that crossed her path. So far so good at least. She'd had to defeat a few foes along the way and travel difficult terrain on a vast quantity of planets. Galaxy hopping was of course only possible using instant transmission, otherwise she'd have to fly a spaceship of some sort.

Fortunately Arcadia had managed to flirt and get one but her luck ran out when the trader expected a kiss in return for the ship and she ran to the ship, flying it away to try and escape him. He was easily lost and she continued on her way. The next problem came when she approached the core. She hadn't navigated it via spacecraft before and she'd managed to crash her ship down on this desert planet near the centre.

Arcadia looked back at her ship's wreckage. There were no people here that she could see and no food, so somehow she needed to get out of there.

"There is a presence in the air that tells me someone important has arrived." A cloaked figure was seated in a cave as his two robot companions were figiting around with trinkets. The cloaked figure was highly respected throughout the Universe. At the moment, he was exiled from his past after battling what was his long time pupil.

All his past was left behind though. Now he focused primarily on living a retired life. Living a retired life, was what he told most people. However, he had been awaiting for the propechy...the chosen one. At first, he thought the pupil he had trained was it, but it was not so. The pupil had turned against his race and destroyed its entirity. The prophecy the old man had been thinking was one that was often talked about where he came from.

A prophecy had long been told about a mystical being having the power to do basically anything they desired.

Sensing that there was someone present on the terrible planet, he instructed his two robots to go investigate.

"I want you to find out who the person is who crash landed on this cruel planet. Not many beings have survived here so I am hoping it is the chosen one I have bene waiting for."

The two robots beeped. One beeped and the other could clearly speak. It was important because the one who could speak would be able to communicate with the stranger.

As obedient as dogs, the two robots left the hidden cave to find who exactly had crash landed on the planet like their master had instructed.

"I hope it is friendly Beep. I don't want to get broken into pieces like the last time." The robot's name was Beep. Beep had solemnly remembered how his companion C3 had been broken in several pieces by an ape. Beep would rather not remember.

Together they both traveled the desert planet many times so the environment wasn't shocking to them. Both of them were close. It was Beep who did most of the scanning, and his scanner was quite loud. It could be heard from in a one mile radius. Somehow C3 wasn't bothered by this because most of the time visitors were friendly...most was the keyword.

[Arcadia]

Arcadia started wandering through the sand. There wasn't much else she could do since the ship was totally ruined. What was not now burning rubble and twisted metal was full to the brim with the thick sand that covered the desert planet. Fire and bellowing smoke was the only moving thing she could see for miles, even with her heightened feline senses.

Seeing was one thing but hearing and smelling was another. Arcadia's race had very sensitive noses and ears. They could smell things that they couldn't even see within a few miles of where they stood and hear things so quiet that a saiyan or a human wouldn't even notice it was there. Arcadia's nostrils had already picked up a scent just within the few feet she had walked from the ship.

"Oil..? Well that isn't surprising. They have oil on plenty of desert planets..." she said to herself.

Her tail stopped wagging though since she could still sense that there was more than oil on this planet.

She could hear beeping. It was clear as day to her. All there was for miles was the flickering of fire and a slight breeze and so it was not difficult to tell that there was clearly someone or something else here.

"Okay, there's a machine here. It's either a phone box or some sort of death robot. I think I'll just take my chances and hope it's just the phone booth" she said, powering up her white aura and bursting into the sky. She flew towards the scent, awaiting what it could be.

[npc]

The two loyal robots were traveling alongside together when Beep's scanning scensor started to pick up traces of a life form. C3 started to hop about as his companion had found the being that their master was talking about

"Ohhh Beep our master will be pleased. So please that maybe I'll get some fresh oil in my limbs." C3 was truly ecstatic about what had happened. Beep, being the more serious one, he continued to stroll on the sandy ground towards the location of the being. What he wasn't expecting was the speed of the being to be superior to his master's.

C3, with amazing eye sight even in the shrowds of dust, could see someone coming at a full speed. He had never seen such a creature as it closed in. His sense of joy was now a sens of fear.

"Ohhh Beep someone is coming!" Beep started making loud sounds as his sensor picked up the being heading straight for them. Beep urged C3 to stay strong because their master needed to know who the being was. It was important for them to accomplish their mission.

Seeing someone come in closer, C3 remained true to his master. He put his hand up in the air to signal to the being that they were in the area. Whether she was friendly or mean, he didn't care. His loyalty came first. It is what he was programmed for.

[Arcadia]

It was not long before Arcadia found what she had smelled. The source of the oil was too strong for it to be below ground so this was definitely it. There were two robots down below. Apparently they had seen Arcadia and were trying to get her attention.

She smiled awkwardly, waving her hand a little at them. They seemed harmless and she could not possibly sense their power levels as they were robots, so she thought they weren't a threat. She stopped in mid-air and lowered herself down before them, wagging her tail a little in anticipation.

"Robots huh..? How did you get here? I don't see any towns or villages around" she said, looking around with her back turned to the robots.

There was still something there. She could feel it but not smell it. The oil on the robots mixed with the smoke from her crashed transport was over-powering and so whatever it was she could smell was very faint. Her ears told a different story however. She could hear a rustling noise, almost shuffling in amongst the wind. There was something else here for sure.

"Can you tell me where I am?" she asked the robots.

[npc]

Beep and C3 were standing together as Arcadia had approached them both. C3 could see right away that Arcadia was friendly.

"Ohh thank the skies for this! I won't get broken!" When Arcadia approached her, Beep began to beep ecstatic as they were close to achieving their mission for their master. They were likely to be rewarded.

When Arcadia spoke, Beep was the first to respond. However, no one could understand the robot except C3. C3 had to do the talking. The sophisticated communication droid, C3, was excited to know that Arcadia knew the common tongue.

"This is a great day Beep. She even knows how to speak our langague! " They were both so happy, even for robots standards, that they took some time to answer her question about where they had come from. There weren't any villages nearby, but there had been some located on the other side of the planet.

C3 put his hand out for a friendly gesture and also to point where they had come from.

"We have come from the west where are master awaits in a hidden cave. This side of the planet is all desert while the other has some villages. Our master told us nevr to go there because there are scoundrel....whatever that means. It is quite frightening actually." He started to ramble about the treacherous planet, but it was Beep who brought him back to the original question. Where was Arcadia exactly?

"Oh my! Where are my manners? We are on Planet Crath where few crash and none leave. It is what my master told me about it. Not sure what that means " He hoped that was sufficient for Arcadia to trust me. Beep once again had to encourage C3 to continue.

"P..please my master is expecting with you. You should come with us before a sand storm comes." C3 wanted to get going to get his oil bath and to grant his master's wishes.

Both robots were ready to leave. IF Arcadia was ready, they would walk to the cave where the cloaked man awaited.

[Arcadia]

These robots were friendly, somewhat stupid and a little annoying. Arcadia stood there looking at them with her arms folded and her tail wagging listening to what they had to say. It all seemed very feasible; it was possible that people were living here but further away since she had not scouted the whole planet.

What concerned her more was the fact that the robots had mentioned that this planet had a reputation for being inescapable. "Few crash and none leave" - she supposed that these 'scoundrels' in the settlements over the other side of the planet were more than likely bandits or smugglers that crashed here or purposefully set up a camp here to avoid being caught by any kind of law enforcement.

The most unnerving thing they mentioned was their master. Clearly that must've been the rustling near by but she could not tell how close this person really was or if the robots were actually a decoy. These little minions seemed to be pretty happy that they weren't going to be smashed to bits, but she could not be certain whether it was her or their master that they were afraid of.

Without much thought she slipped one of her knives out of it's sheath. She was going to be prepared if this mysterious person decided to attack. According to the robots, there was a sand storm approaching.

"Okay, take me to wherever it is you intend to take me as long as there is shelter from the storm" she said looking at the robots. Her tail stopped wagging because she was being serious. She wondered why the robots had even declared that their master existed or was near by. Perhaps they were incapable of lying and had made a mistake. Either way, Arcadia would be safe enough.

"Lead on."

[npc]

"Ohhh yayyy thank the sky again for her being so friendly." C3 had been truly excited to hear that Arcadia was willing to go them. Beep beeped in a friendly manner as well. It was beep who initiated the journey back to the cave which was not far off.

C3 was not the one for conversation although he did talk a lot. He had not been programmed to start conversations. In this instance, he thought having her talk with him she could not escape or change her mind. He had no idea he would actually insult her if she took it in that way.

"You are a strange creature. Where do you come from?" C3 and Beep could see the cave in the distance where their master was waiting.

Cloaked Figure: He waited inside the cave where he could sense Arcadia coming closer. Just her being close, the power he sensed was remarkable. If the prophecy was true, him/her truly was the chosen one. However, he would not know that until she entered the cave.

[Arcadia]

"A planet of cat people" she said walking behind the robots as they lead her away towards the cave where their 'master' was waiting for them. She had no intention of spilling her guts to these robots as she was fairly certain she wouldn't be hanging around long enough for them to be life long friends.

Whatever this master person was, she thought this was all very suspicious. Why would they send two robots out into a desert? Surely they would rust away or get some sort of erosion damage. Then she thought that perhaps this person had been badly injured by something and needed help. Arcadia did have the ability to heal and so if this was the case she might be able to save the robots owner.

"Your master, are they injured or something? Is that why he sent you out here?" she asked, her tail wagging again with anticipation. She kept her nose and ears on alert. The more they got closer to the cave, the more she could sense the cloaked figure.

[npc]

C3 and Beep led the woman to the cave where their master was waiting. They were feet away from it when C3 heard the woman mention about her being from a planet of cat people. He didn't quite understand who exactly cat people were. However, whoever they were, they were important to his master. His only mission was to bring her to him.

"My master isn't injured or anything. He came out to this planet because he is a wanted man. Some way he was a war hero back on his home planet." C3 did not go into details because not even he knew about where his master had originated from. Beep, on the other hand, knew more than C3. He kept hidden files in his system, but he didn't trust the woman enough to show her.

The both of them walked into the cave where their master had a nice living area considering it was just a cave. There was a living room area, a meditation room, and a kitchen place where all the food was stored.

Old Master: He sensed his companions were back. He was reassured that they were there when he heard C3's voice talking. Had C3 done what he requested? At the moment, he was in his white, meditation room prepared to see the legend before him. Was she truly ready to know what awaited for her destiny?

"Bring him in here." He assumed it was a male at first, yet it did not matter to him if the individual was male or female. The cloaked, figured man said. His face remained covered for the reason that he did not want to be seen just yet. He had to test the individual to see if she was truly the "chosen" one.

[Arcadia]

All Arcadia needed to know was revealed when the robot claimed he was a wanted man. Arcadia had no time for criminals of any kind and this 'master' person must be a wanted man for some reason. Unfortunately she had no way of finding out what but she supposed it was her duty, or her orders to put an end to whatever or whoever these robots were taking her to. She could already hear the Supreme Kai telling her what to do and she tried to drown it out by focusing on the situation at hand.

"Yeah yeah yeah..." she said to herself, not realizing she was saying it out loud. She was following these robots through a weird cave. She could see something bright at the end of it. Outside the cave the sand was kicking up off of the ground and quickly becoming a rough sandstorm. There was only one way back now and that was forwards.

Once they reached the end of the tunnel they walked into a living area. What this living area was doing there she had no idea but she supposed that it was a hideout after all. She was trying to play it cool but her body was telling her to threaten the robots with giving up the information on their master.

She heard a voice say "Bring him in here".

"Him? What do you mean him?" she said, ignoring what the robots were doing and marching over towards the place the voice came from.

[npc]

"Oh please excuse my master m'lady. He is not used to seeing females on this planet." C3 tried to explain his master's rudeness. It was not his master's intention to be rude, therefore, C3 made up for it with his etiquette programming. He had been taught the distinction between men and women, but other then the physical he knew nothing else.

Beep continued beeping to encourage C3 and Arcadia to keep the conversation short. There master had waited patiently for them to arrive. C3 followed Beep's instructions.

"Please this way. He is waiting." C3 led Arcadia into the meditation room. The room was square. It had nothing, but padded white walls. Some could see it as plain as a room in a insane asylum. It's main purpose was for the cloaked figure to focus on the powers of the universe. In the middle of the room, sat the cloaked figure seated in indian style.

The cloaked figures face was completely covered. For many people, it would be quite intimidating and frightening. However, the cloaked figure was friendly. He was just more intuned with his senses than others.

When he heard his robot companions walk into the room, he glanced up to see who they were talking to. He smiled as he saw that it was a woman. The fact that she was a woman caused no issues to him. It did, however, make this situation more intersting.

C3 walked over to his master.

"She is here master. We did our job."

The cloaked figure raised his hand up as a gesture of gratitude.

"Good job C3 and Beep. I believe their is an oil bath waiting for you. Go enjoy it."


Beep started beeping loudly in excitement. C3, if he could, would have hopped about at his treat.

"Ohhh thank you master."

The cloaked figure chuckled and waved them to the side in order to be alone with the woman. Both of the robots left the room leaving him along with the future prophecy, which he held dear in his heart. He had waited a long time to see it come to life. Hopefully, she had been the one to see his dream come true.

"Hello. Please make yourself comfortable. Sit, sit down." He remained seated on the middle of the floor. He hoped she would sit so they could contimplate.

[Arcadia]

Arcadia stepped inside. She thought it best to humour whoever this man was before she made any sort of move. Quite clearly this person was waiting for somebody and she assumed it must have been her. Who else could they have been waiting for? It couldn't be that people crashed here every day, not this close at least. It was all very creepy at any rate.

"Okay, what is it that you want? I don't really know who you are but I am a busy woman and I need to get on with my business" she said, sitting down on the floor with her legs crossed. She didn't particularly want to be here but there was a sandstorm outside and it wasn't exactly like she could go anywhere even if she refused point blank to talk to this hooded figure.

The hood was her next point of conversation.

"Who are you anyway? What are you doing here and why are you wearing a hood?" she asked. She took one of her knives out of it's sheath and started polishing it with a rag from one of her pockets. It was a beautiful knife of Felix Sapien design which reflected the bright white light from the room with ease.

"Bit of a weird set up you have here..." she said.

[npc]

The woman spoke to him with a sweet tone he had not hears for years. Women were something rare in his lifetime. As a protector of the galaxy, he swore to never get married with anyone. Until this day, he had kept his promise. It was no surprise the woman had asked why she had been brought to the cave. The answer was simple, yet complex.

As rude as she had been, he remained intrigued for being in the presence of the chosen one. Just by her appearance alone he knew she was different. Her white hair had given it away. He had traveled to many distant planets before and knew of her race. Her cat-like race had a legendary tale about there being one born with white fur. However, he kept those comments to himself.

"My name is Benk. It's great be in the presence of someone as great as yourself. I brought you here to see if you were the chosen one. Telling from your appearance, I can see that you are different from your other people." He did not go into the details of her race or of his past. His voice was neutral and full of wisdom.

His eyes barely noticed the blade she had pulled out. If she were to attack him, he had ways of protecting himself. Rather then staring at the blade, he continued the conversation. He had not yet answered her question as to why she had been brought to his cave. It didn't need answering.

"Tell me what has brought you to this planet? Do you have a mission?" It was obvious to him that a "chosen" one always had a prophecy to complete. He wanted to know what exactly hers was. In a way, he already known what it was. It was his manner of testing her to see if she was indeed someone of great importance.
