Lost (Private)

Shadic's Oasis, 25 miles Northeast of South City

2:00 PM

Sunday

PL: 93,000

The beauty of nature was its serenity. Nothing beats when all the commotion of an ecosystem mixes into the ambient hum of nature. Recently, Shadic had moved from his home in the city to a place mostly untouched by man. He was not too sure what was going to happen to the city after the election that was taking place, and he definitely did not want to be forced into something he didn't agree with, so he packed up and left. Here, in what he had started to call 'the Oasis,' Shadic felt truly at home.

The Oasis was basically a hidden sanctuary, unknown to man purely because of its location. Deep within a cave, behind a waterfall, was Shadic's new home. A small stream cut through the middle of his stone cave floor with crystal clear water . In the ceiling was a man-sized opening that lead up and out of the mountain, allowing for natural light to shine in throughout the day. He had already settled in and had no intentions of moving again any time soon. Plus, he'd rather have a fight outside his man cave than in a city with thousands of people.

Today, and for the past few days, Shadic was trying to master a new technique. It was unlike any of his other techniques, and learning it had been a pain. After discovering his hidden sanctuary, the hybrid wanted to become one with nature. So far, he hadn't had any luck, but he was getting closer with each attempt.

As he sat perfectly still, concentrating on taking in as much energy from his surroundings as possible, he heard somebody call out. The voice was faint, very faint, but broke his concentration regardless. He'd basically been isolated for a few days now, so meeting somebody for a little bit wouldn't be that big of a deal.

Shadic got to his feet and took off into the air, flying through the small hole in his ceiling and into the clear blue sky. It was a beautiful day with the sun high in the sky. Before Shadic could enjoy the weather, he had to locate the person. It was the first time he'd even heard another voice since moving to his Oasis, so it was quite abnormal. Upon further listening, the hybrid was able to pinpoint exactly where the voice was coming from.

He flew in the direction of the voice until he finally came across a red-haired saiyan standing out in a field. To most people this redhead was just another saiyan, albeit with strange hair, but a saiyan nonetheless. Shadic, however, knew this person from past experiences. This was Nexon!

Shadic touched down a few feet away from his old friend, expecting a warm welcome. "Hey Nexon! Long time no see, how've ya been?"

It had been years since the two last saw each other, but Shadic imagined Nexon was still as strong as ever.

Nexon did not greet Shadic as warmly as the hybrid anticipated. Something seemed off about his red-haired friend, like majorly wrong. Unlike the Nexon he met so long ago on Namek, this one seemed significantly out of practice. His ki was all over the place, rising and lowering sporadically as the seconds passed by. On top of his fluctuating ki, Nexon did not seem like he was mentally together. It was almost like he was lost, which hardly seemed possible for somebody of Nexon's power.

First, the redhead asked who Shadic was, to which he responded, "Oh. Uh, I'm Shadic, an old friend of yours I think. We haven't seen each other in a while so I can understand if you forgot about me." After asking how he got to his location, Nexon revealed a ki bit of information, which is how he did not remember anything.

Shadic raised his eyebrows in surprise, but also in understanding. That explained why he seemed so mentally lost, but it opened up a lot more questions. "Well, this is Earth, home of the humans. If I remember correctly, you lived on Namek, which is where the Namekians live. There are a few ways to get between the two planets but, uh..." Shadic looked around the area, checking to see if there were any spaceships or pods. Unsurprisingly, there were not, "...there's really no way for me to tell, sorry."

He wanted to ask some questions of Nexon, see if he really did forget every thing, but that would probably be pretty rude. Instead he decided to pose a question that was a lot safer, "So you really don't remember anything?"

Shadic never had to deal with somebody losing all their memories before, so this whole experience was new to him. It was almost as if he was trying to explain the universe to a curious little kid, which was exactly what he was doing in a sense. "The Namekians are like, uh, green plant people. Most of them are peaceful. Earth is just this planet, we got a lot of everything here. It's kind of complicated if you don't remember."

He examined Nexon's clothes which looked quite tattered. It could just be natural wear and tear, especially depending on how long Nexon had been out in the wild, but it could be something else. As if he had been attacked. The redhead was clearly frustrated as he paced around, trying to jog his memory or something. It was a little sad, honestly. Nexon basically confirmed his suspicions when he explained how somebody tried to hurt him.

"If somebody did try to hurt you, they must've done a good job." The red-haired Saiyan asked what he used to do and how they met, to which Shadic had to think a little bit. He did not know Nexon all that well, but he tried his best to explain, "I met you when I took a trip to Namek. You were a lot stronger than anybody I'd ever met so, naturally, I was drawn to you. If I'm not mistaken, which I might be so don't take my word for it, you were like the defender of Namek or something. I dunno the proper term, but I do know that you were important."

Nexon did not seem very offended after hearing he was actually strong back in his day. In fact, the red-haired Saiyan even challenged Shadic to a little fight. That was a surprise to Shadic, who did not exactly leave his oasis with a fight in mind. He considered turning down the offer, mostly because Nexon was out of practice by a longshot. Shadic could just tell from his friend's body language that he was itching for a fun battle. Plus, the hybrid never really could turn down a fight. He was a saiyan after all

Shadic smiled in response to Nexon's question, waiting for a second before responding, "A fight? I don't see why not!" Nexon got in a fighting stance, so Shadic followed suit, getting into a stance of his own. The redhead suggested he may actually regain some memories through a quick spar, so this fight would be a win-win regardless of the outcome. For Nexon, he could get acclimated to the high powered fights he would probably be faced with and Shadic would be able to gauge just how strong he really is.

He beckoned towards Nexon, signaling he was ready to begin. "Just start whenever you're ready!"
