10.
The dinosaurs approached, prepared to run the Saiyan over and crush him beneath their feet. But Couric remained calm, drawing up his hands once he was sure the dinos were focused entirely on him. Almost immediately, a flash of light would blind the Namekian dinos, causing them to roar out in pain and frustration, losing their balance and falling to the ground. Couric shrugged and leapt over the dino pile up, landing right near the Dragon Ball.
He picked it up with both hands, holding it above his head for Julia to see.
"GOT IT!" He shouted.

Julia covers her eyes and squints through the light, calling back to Couric... "All right, I'll meet you a few miles back in the direction where we came from... nice job, Couric!" She sets off in a run, back to an area where she can actually see, and beyond where the dinosaurs would be willing to chase.

Couric leapt into the air, taking flight before the dinosaurs could regain their ability to see and chase after him. Flying at top speed, he'd catch up with Julia rather quickly, skidding to a halt once he landed, Dragon Ball still in hand.
"Let's hope those dinos can't detect energy or else we'll have some pissed off reptiles to deal with." Couric chuckled, placing the rather large orb on the ground in front of Julia.

"Yeah... that wouldn't be good, hehe."
She sits down, and places the bag beside the ball, but takes a moment to stare in to it... "So... this is a big shiny orange crystal with... six big red stars inside it... cool... I wonder what it does."

But, they really didn't have anything to worry about if the dinosaurs did decide to come after them...well...besides the possibility they might accidentally kill the cold blooded creatures. He looked the 'crystal' over, wondering just how the hell it could give off any kind of signal. He may not be an android, but he'd think he'd be able to at least notice something about the orb that would hint at why Julia could detect it.
"Maybe it's something that was handcrafted by the people here. Could be glass."

Julia pokes it... watching it roll away slightly, and then roll back... "I don't think it's glass... hmm... maybe we should take it to a village and ask the people what this is? What do ya think, Couric?"

"You could be right...but it really does look like nothing more than a glass orb with stars painted on...to me anyways." Couric replied, folding his arms behind his head as he usually did when he was bored or just being casual.
"And I guess...Maybe they would know about it or something."

"All right then." She picks up the orb, and puts it in the capsulizable bag, which she... of course... capsulizes. "Maybe there's like a whole set of these and if you get them all something awesome happens... or maybe something terrible... but I'd prefer to be optimistic. Heh." She takes a moment to detect the ki signals nearby, and turns toward the direction of the nearest village, before saying to Couric behind her... "Hey Couric, mind if I try something?"

"A whole set? You sound like you have some idea what it might be, Julia." Couric said, not realizing that he may technically be correct. But then again, how could he? The young saiyan was about ready to take off in the direction of a large gathering of ki when Julia decided to ask him a rather simple question.
"Eh? Try something? ...Uh...Sure, there's no rush."

"Great!" Julia begins to levitate off from the ground... and with a cute smile on her face, she says... "I think I might be able to get it right this time... or maybe not, but I need more practice at this anyway. So I may be a little slower than normal." She leans forward and begins flying toward the ki signals... "There's a village this way, it shouldn't be too far... so you won't have to put up with me being all slow for too long, heh."

Couric just chuckled as he watched Julia float around at a rather slow pace, deciding to walk the rest of the way so that he could keep up with her. But knowing his luck, she'd probably figure out to fly perfectly soon enough and leave him in the dust. He hadn't noticed it earlier, but the color of the grass and sea was reversed when compared to Earth.
"Heh...I have no problem with taking a while to get there."

Julia floats along at a pretty good pace, but nothing special, and spins around to lay on her back in the air, with her arms behind the back of her head... she stares up at the green sky... "You know... this planet sure looks weird... doesn't it?"

"Like a reversal of Earth. Green skies and seas, blue grass and trees. Makes you wonder what the natives'll look like." He chuckled, imagining some crazy looking people waiting in the village ahead. Of course, if he actually remembered Nai, he'd realize that the inhabitants of the planet looked just like him. But Couric just couldn't seem to remember Nai for some odd reason.

"I think I know what they look like... I met this guy called Nai... he's a funny looking green guy, and he doesn't seem to have much of a personality, though..." She starts to spin in a slow-moving corkscrew just for the fun of it... "This flying stuff is actually pretty cool."

"Nai, huh." Couric rubbed his chin, recognizing the name, but not at all remembering the person who held the name. Poor Nai. But Couric shrugged it off and continued walking, a bit amused by Julia's antics while flying. So he decided to do something equally funny. Curling his tail up into a spring like shape, he laid back, bouncing towards the village on the appendage.
"Heheh."

Julia took a look back at Couric, while floating upside down and going backwards... she seemed to be sat upside down with her arms and legs folded... "You're silly, you know that, Couric?" She's fully aware she's in no position to talk.

"Says the one floating as though she were sitting in a chair." Couric replied, continuing to bounce along the path towards the Namekian Village. To be honest, he hadn't had much of a chance to use the tail in a fight like he may want to, an extra appendage a rather nice advantage in a fight. And considering he had long since gotten past the standard Saiyan weakness, it'd probably come in handy.

"Heh..." She begins to spin around doing backflips in the air... she speeds up faster and starts to feel a little dizzy, but she doesn't care. It's fun.

"You're gonna throw up if you keep that up!" Couric laughed, looking nowhere near as ridiculous as one might think Julia to be at the moment. But he had noticed that she was beginning to get a lot better at flying...maybe it wouldn't be too long before she mastered it.

Julia slows down, and takes a moment to get a hold of herself... "You know... you're right..." She laughs a bit, and takes a moment... but then she realizes... "Hey, you know, this flying stuff is quite easy now... I don't know why I didn't just try screwing around like this in the first place! I bet I could take off toward that village at a pretty high speed now if I tried."

Couric bounced off his tail, landing on his feet. Letting it wrap around his waist, he looked towards Julia, not at all surprised she was starting to really get the hang of it. He had decided to do something rather childish...
"That so, eh? Well, let's see if you can...." He began, hands at his side.
"GET THERE BEFORE I CAN!" He fired off a shockwave towards Julia's abdomen to send her flying backwards while the invisible surge of energy propelled him towards the village, using his own mastery of flight to fly there as fast as he could.

"Ugh!" Julia falls back on to her back, getting to her feet holding her abdomen and complaining... "Hey no fair!" She crouches, and leaps forward, letting her energy guide her as fast as she can make it toward the village... Couric was going to win because of that little stunt for sure, but Julia would definitely close the gap pretty well.

Gozu flies over the some fields. This should be good He thinks as he lands slowly. He had flown out from the dojo talking with Julia occasionally as she slipped back and forth from sleep to consciousness. Balancing her on his knee Gozu uses one hand to grab the capsule and throw it. Gozu's ship pops out. Gozu walks in and puts Julia in her bad covering her up and then Gozu goes to bed himself.

Julia wakes up again almost immediately, and heads out of the spaceship after saying a goodbye to the sleeping Gozu... she was conscious enough to have notice where they went from the village... in fact who cares? She can see the village from here, which is good.

Julia began to walk through the fields of strange blueness under the strange greenness that was the sky... heading back to the village with the dojo where Couric was. "Somehow, I don't think there's anything more to learn here, but I may as well head back anyway."

But as she walks along, she starts to feel something very very... strange... she tries to let it pass, but it just keeps bugging her as the walks along toward the village. "What's going on?!"
|
|

Post by Katatonia on Jun 8, 2009 2:02:10 GMT -5
Eventually, she stops, and pouts... "You know, things have been getting weirder and weirder ever since I learned how to fly... just what on Earth is happening to me... or what on Namek, whatever. Heh."

Post by Katatonia on Jun 8, 2009 2:03:06 GMT -5
She takes in a deep breath, and looks around herself at the scenery... "This place definitely does look strange... I prefer the genie planet so much compared to all this... but not saying it's bad here though."

Post by Katatonia on Jun 8, 2009 2:03:49 GMT -5
She feels something odd in her arms for a moment, and raises up her hands... staring at her palms, she wanders just what's going on. "This... needs to stop..."
|

Post by Katatonia on Jun 8, 2009 2:04:51 GMT -5
Julia then notices something even stranger... "The things in my hands that make me absorb ki... it's like they're... shutting down...? Why?" This is sort of strange to Julia.
