Lush expanses of green... there's so much grass! Occasionally you may find some bushes or a group of trees, but grasslands tend to be very open.

A comet can be seen soaring through the sky. It approaches the ground at an amazing speed, and it crash lands, forming a rather large crater. The explosion isn't very big, definitely not big enough to catch the attention of someone that's farther than ten miles away. Inside the crater is actually a space pod. The front opens up, and a figure in blue can be seen creeping out.

A tall blue figure, with green skin and a large white cape can be seen standing in front of the pod. "Wow..." the green being looks around, amazed. "So this is Earth huh? Here begins a new journey. Who knows what'll happen as I stay here. One thing's for sure, by the time I'm done here, I will conquer the Ancient Way, just like the ancient Namekian warrior, Nail."
Nai, a complete alien to this planet, works his way up the crater and stands on the grasslands.

"I was told Earth is home for many, many great fighters. In fact, many legendary heroes began their adventures here. I think I'll step in their shoes for the time being. This is pretty exciting, I can't wait to meet other races! Hopefully they don't find me too creepy, being an alien and all. I'm not gonna find anyone here though..."
Nai looks around, trying to figure around which way to go. A city would do, but he's having trouble finding signs of one over the horizon.

As Shiro leaves his home he sees what looks like a comet fall and land not far away. Curiousity roused, Shiro goes to see what he thinks might only be a piece of space rock, maybe a hunk of metal. He doesn't expect to see a green man climb out of the hole, and so hesitates before walking up to him. "You're... Namekian, correct?"

After a few moments of focusing his eyes on the great horizon, he finds himself able to see tall, concrete structures. The color of these structures reminds Nai of the Namekian houses back home. "Hmm.... Those look like places of shelter. I bet there's alot of activity there! Now, my adventure begins." Nai smiles, takes a deep breath, but just as he advances, he hears something. He looks over to the direction of where the voice is coming from, and sees Shiro.
"Oh wow, yes, I am Namekian. How'd you know?" he asks, politely.

"I've met one of your kind before, about three months ago while I was training. He was one of the few fighters I couldn't beat." Shiro replies as he takes in his new acquaintance. "I'm sorry, I haven't introduced myself. My name's Shiro." He says as he extends his hand.

Nai reaches out his hand to Shiro's and gives a firm handshake. "Mine is Nai. You're a native here, right?" Nai was also surprised to hear that more Namekians have already come to Earth. But such is to be expected he thought, maybe all the other Namekians on Earth are also here for the exact same purpose.

Shiro nods as he takes his hand back. "Yeah, I am. I take it you've never been to Earth before? I could lead you around if you need it." It was a rather redundant question, yes, but it was all he could think of to say at that point.

"Nope, I haven't. And I would very much appreciate it if you'd show me around. I came from Namek because I was told it would be the perfect place to train. I plan on being here for quite awhile. If it interests you, I can give you the full reason why I'm here."
Nai pauses for a bit, gathers some more breath and continues to speak, "Right now, I'm looking for a city. I found one just before you spoke to me. What's a good one around here?"

While he said hated, yet was reliant on technology, Rajah often made his way towards the city to pick up some supplies that he couldn't steal. It kind of made his whole desert bandit occupation a bit redundant, but hell, he needed some city stuff sometimes!
Well, he was also a bit of a persistent bastard. He had assumed the city was nearby, and had set his sights on it. However, that city turned out to be what we call a mirage, but he still soldiered on. On and on and on, until he found grass, and saw two people.
"Packjot!"

Shiro shook his head slightly at Nai's offer to fully explain his reasons before saying, "Well, Earth certainly has its fair share of hothead fighters, but not many of them are too terribly strong. Your best bet is probably Hercule City which is..." he paused a moment and thought, before finally pointing in the generally direction of the city Nai had been seeing this whole time. "...that way, I believe. There are a lot of really good fighters there, not to mention a dojo."

"On Namek," Nai began, "If you express interest in the art of combat, and you show enough interest to train on your own, the Elder Namekian will take you in for special training. If you prove yourself, he will test you. This test is called the Ancient Way, and to this day, only one Namekian warrior has passed, but this happened many centuries ago. He is no longer alive.
I took this test myself, and I failed, just like everyone else. But there was nothing more to be gained in Namek anymore. The Elder told me to come here, where I can meet many opponents of my own strength or better, so here I am!"
Nai looks in the direction of the city Shiro was point. "I was gonna head there anyway." Nai begins walking towards Hercule City.
OOC: next post will be in hercule city

He saw one of the two moving, and proceeded to pursue them, his eyes suddenly wandering towards the city as he came to a halt, "I knew it was there! I'm not crazy!" He cheered to himself with a pump of his arm, speeding up his pace after the two figures with a grin on his face. Oh, thank god he was all cheery again.
"No idea what city this is, but I s'pose I can pick up just about whatever I need here. And pickpocket these two, too."

Shiro just listened politely to Nai's story, thinking to himself, I guess, to Namekians, shaking one's head means yes and nodding means no. I'll have to remember that. The story was rather interesting, however, and Shiro was actually rather glad for this little misunderstanding.
When Nai left for the city, Shiro followed. It's not like I have anywhere else to go. And there are quite a few fighters there, so I'll at least be able to get stronger.

Shiro walks a long ways out of the city, far enough for any stray attacks to dissipate before hitting anything, or anyone. When he was confident in the location he stopped and turned to face the other man. "My name's Shiro, by the way."

Following a little behind Shiro, was Cajabe, who stopped just a few feet away, faced Shiro back with a confident smirk. "I am Cajabe, now are you ready to be broken?" He cracks his knuckles, spreads his feet just a little... one slightly forward, and assumes an offensive fighting posture, leaning in.

Shiro smirks as he answers, "Your delusions must be so entertaining. Pity they won't come true," and enters his own stance. He turns slightly away from Cajabe with his left side forward. His feet were spaced apart and his left arm was about mid height and angled across his side. His right arm was at his right side and angled diagonally down. Both hands were open slightly. Unlike Cajabe, he was leaning slightly away, a defensive position.

Cajabe let no sound out but a confident... "Hmph." And then... he leaped forward, turning his body around aiming a roundhouse for the back of Shiro's head with his right leg, and planting his left hand on the ground.
Cajabe kept watch on Shiro as he attacked... curious to learn his fighting style and how he would respond.

Shiro raised his left arm up to block and catch the kick, giving a slight grunt at the impact. He then turned to the left, reaching up and grabbing Cajabe's leg with his other hand as well, before attempting to lift Cajabe over his head and toss him away. That finished, he would return to his previous stance and wait for the saiyan's next move.

Cajabe was a little too slow to react, and found himself tossed away as Shiro wished. "Fine..."
He took a few steps forward, but veered around Shiro to Shiro's left, sending his fist flying for Shiro's face. Meanwhile, from Cajabe's approach before he veered, a stream of small needle-like entities of ki were speeding for Shiro's body, aimed generally nowhere in particular.

Shiro ducked Cajabe's punch, but could only raise an arm to protect his face from the onslaught of needles flying at him. So he can use ki, huh? he thought, swinging his now bleeding left arm to the side in an attempt to catch Caj in his before aiming his right hand at where he thought the small saiyan's face would be and firing a small burst of ki at him.

Cajabe's arm was caught by Shiro's left arm... he saw Shiro aim to blast his face. Cajabe ducked below it, as his hair was singed... he swept a leg through Shiro's, aiming to trip him up and set him up for another attack later on.

Shiro fell from Caj's attempt at tripping him, but rolled to the side away from Caj and stood up, firing a quick Ki blast at his opponent before resuming his former stance, albeit breathing a bit heavier this time. This guy's good. Better than most of the people I've faught.

Cajabe was about to deliver a follow-up, but Shiro got away. With Cajabe delaying his actions like this, he couldn't get out of the way of the blast. He crossed his arms and took it, but didn't make a sound about it. "Why do you last longer than 5 seconds? Most humans can't even see my attacks... and I usually wear weights, too."
He takes a few steps forward again, and pulls his arm back for a punch... but then doesn't punch at all but instead falls back, landing on the arm he pulled back and delivering a kick straight towards Shiro's gut. "This'll wind him... then he'll drop his guard."

Shiro grinned slightly, "Most humans aren't as obsessed with fighting as I am." He brought his left arm up, this time to knock the punch to the side, but couldn't react in time to the kick, and so found himself on his back, air gone. But his reflexes were such that he quickly rolled back up to a crouch, coughing slightly with his left hand at his stomach and his right held across his chest, trying to catch his breath

"Tell you what, if you're this good... I'll give you a free shot." Cajabe hadn't had a challenge this good since he... got his ass kicked on Vegeta as a kid... wait, bad memories. For a moment, his expression looked a little wrong, but his arrogant confidence returned just as soon as it had left, and... as Cajabe's such an unfair little bastard, he's charging ki in to his hand, which seems innocently concealed at his side as part of some side-on fighting stance. Free shot... yeah right.

Shiro glared at the saiyan. So this was the legendary arrogance he had heard so much about. Still, if it meant humbling the guy... "Alright, just let me get ready." He said, before feeding energy into his right hand. After a moment he quickly slashed diagonally upwards at the saiyan, firing a crescent of white energy at him, centered at his chest.

"Nice." Cajabe brought his hand forward, and released a conical shaped burst of ki, which tore the crescent in two and headed straight for Shiro aiming to stick right in to him... but to Cajabe's distaste... "Aaaagh...!" The split cresent didn't entirely go around Cajabe... he had two awful slashes... one on his shoulder and one on his hip... with a gap in the center across his body. "Damn you..." Guess it served him right.

Shiro's eyes widened when Caj launched his attack. Since he wasn't exactly in a good position to dodge, he forced his body to relax and collapse into a heap, meaning he just barely dodged the attack. He took a moment to stand again and looked over to Caj, nodding when he saw the two cuts his blade had made. "That's what you get for pulling tricks like that, shorty."
