Chapter 47 - Meeting A Namekian, Guardian Of Earth (I) (1/2)
Year 733 May Planet Earth, The Lookout
Mr. Popo had received permission from Kami to fly toward the disturbance in the air. This disturbance was releasing massive amounts of space energy that was infused with Ki, but normal martial artists going around the Earth's cities didn't feel a thing. Only the top experts in martial arts at this time were shaken to the core as they sense this foreboding energy and most of them tucked a tail between their legs and remained hidden, not wanting to reveal themselves to the public. The regular humans kept going about their daily lives in ignorance, unaware that a 5 x 5 meter [Gate] was forming within Earth's atmosphere.
Mr. Popo's expression lightened a bit after seeing Kami remain calm, although he was still feeling a heavy pressure from the Ki that was being released by the forming [Gate] thousands of meters away from the Lookout. Mr. Popo was reputed to both a caretaker of the Lookout as well as a trainer of each successful Guardian that took upon the position. Kami himself however, had a rather pitiful past. He was formerly known as the Nameless Namekian who arrived to Earth more than two centuries ago. Planet Namek suffered a a huge climate change, resulting in the death of almost all Namekians. The father of the Nameless Namekian, known as Katas, was able to send is son off in a spaceship to Earth before he also perished with the rest of the Namekians, and this event only left Guru behind. Namekians were able to reproduce as.e.x.u.a.lly by regurgitating an egg, so thankfully with Guru still living, he was slowly able to rebuild the population to where it is now. The Nameless Namekian soon became an apprentice to the previous Guardian of Earth. The Nameless Namekian slowly became influenced by the Earth's inhabitants and its evil lurking within, which slowly gave birth to a separate conscious, who went by the name of King Piccolo. In the end, The Nameless Namekian forcefully split his other conscious out of his body, and became Kami, who is now the current Guardian of Earth, and the evil King Piccolo went off to due his own bidding. However, King Piccolo's story would be saved for another time...
Back to the present at hand, Mr. Popo suddenly reached for something hidden within his maroon vest with his rather large hands. Grabbing onto it, he soon revealed a large red ball of wool. He wrung it out for a brief time before it revealed a rather large red Magic Carpet that was adorned with golden frills, enough to fit two large a.d.u.l.ts on it. The Magic Carpet seemed to have a conscious of its own and it never touched the ground after Mr. Popo. finished wringing it out of any potential residue, and constantly hovered over the ground. Mr. Popo stepped onto the carpet and felt like he stepped on a comfortable rug. Before long he reached the center and sat down on the Magic Carpet. The Magic Carpet slowly rose into the air before it flew over to Kami.
”Kami, I will go tend to our esteemed guests right away, hopefully they haven't arrived them so I can receive them properly. I really do hope these guests won't cause any havoc...”
Hearing that Mr. Popo will fly off to the [Gate], Kami nodded in confirmation. With his large wooden cane in hand, he walked towards Mr. Popo.
”Mr. Popo, I will stay at the Lookout. Please bring our esteemed guests here immediately. Do not try to incur their anger, I do not want any crisis to fall onto this planet now during times of peace. But humanity has been on a downfall lately, I do not see much promise in them at the moment many lurking evils have been on the rise as of late...”
Mr. Popo's Magic Carpet then took flight and departed at a very fast speed. In a blink of an eye, Mr. Popo was no longer visible to Kami, and seeing him depart, a smile appeared on Kami's face.
Meanwhile, somewhere in the atmosphere above Planet Earth.
Four decent sized golden spheres suddenly appeared out of thin air. They shone brightly causing a golden flash to streak in the air around them before they locked into place, forming another 5 by 5 meter frame. Nao was actually able the [Gate] pretty close to the Heavenly Realm. As the spacial crack started to form before splitting into endless darkness, a Magic Carpet soon arrived. Mr. Popo saw a majestic golden gate form before his very eyes and saw the vast pitch black darkness within. Before long two small figures appeared out of it, one being about 4'1 and the other 4'3, Nao and Miya respectively. The two were actually smaller in height than Mr. Popo and even Nao himself was surprised to see him here. 'Is that Namekian here to receive us, I wonder?' is what Nao's thoughts were currently as the [Gate] remained opened behind them.
Mr. Popo just saw endless darkness in front of him, unaware that two figures already appeared beneath his vision. He was expecting a.d.u.l.ts to come out of the [Gate] in front of him, and not two children. Seeing no one in his vision, he still decided to call out, in case they were still trying to arrive.
”Greetings, esteemed guests. Welcome to planet Earth. You're hear by invited to our Lookout....huh?”
As if he was expecting something to come out, but nothing did. Tilting his head in confusion he started to look around. Shifting his vision down did not occur to him at all, until he felt a tug on his white trousers. Mr. Popo finally looked down, only to see one child in front of him while another flying in the air behind the first figure.
”Boo!”
Miya tried to give Mr. Popo a scare as she appeared right in front of him, but he could only stare at Miya and Nao with a dumbfounded look. Seeing him not respond, a small frown appeared on Miya's face.
”Aww, brother, it seems Mister Popo is too shocked to get scared. I'm rather disappointed...Maybe we shouldn't have come after all?”
”Haha, Miya, I can understand from his point of view, I'd be pretty surprised myself if two children came out of a [Gate] this big.”
