“About a couple hundred more meters. We’re gonna be there momentarily. In fact, there it is.” Riku pointed ahead to a particular dead tree that seemed to be simply sitting there. While it didn’t look like much, he began descend as he closed the distance in seconds due to their high speed flight. He landed on the ground and began to walk towards it.
As Reku looked around, he couldn’t help but think that same thing that Shadic was asking. He was getting sick of the sight-seeing and wondered if they should even meet the resistance. If they weren’t powerful enough to stop these monsters, then why were they going to them to begin with? “I somehow doubt that them simply being here has any effect on the weaker at all. Can you at least just shut up until we get there?" Reku replied, talking to Sonnelion bringing up the weather. He kept flying, knowing that, according to Riku, he would arrive very soon. He landed a few feet behind his son and began to walk towards the dead tree as well. Is this some kind of joke? He thought. Reku thought that the base would probably be concealed somehow to avoid discovery, but there was literally nothing here. Not to mention that he still couldn’t sense anything.
They flew for a bit longer until Riku pointed out an area and proclaimed that the base was right there. Shadic looked around, not seeing anything but dead grass and other plants, among a whole lot of nothingness. Either the kid was playing a nice little joke on the four warriors from the past, or their base was just that well hidden. Shadic figured it had to be the latter, since this didn't exactly seem like the time for jokes. But who knew, maybe jokes were a good way to relieve stress in a time like the one they were in.
When they landed, and Riku headed for the tree, Shadic looked around. He had no clue where they were in correlation to any major city, but he did know they were close to meeting the resistance and planning a counter attack on the Majins. If they did everything correctly, and hadn't been detected yet, then the Majins would most certainly be caught off guard.
Sonnelion slowed as they approached a tree. He heard Reku's remark but said nothing in reply. So this was the base holding the survivors? He landed and began walking following Riku to it. He'd have to check his mountain area at some point, perhaps it was left untouched? Perhaps his alternate self's base was still intact? If it was he may be able to get some data off it. He still couldn't sense anything, and yet Riku said this was the place, perhaps they were hiding in plain sight with PL concealers. If they actually had that sort of tech he'd want to try it himself. Such tech doesn't exist in his timeline, even if a magic equivalent does.
He had his eyes watching, his heightened sense of smell and hearing being used to make sure no majins were nearby. He may be being paranoid but this was an unknown world of sorts that was in ruins, it paid to be cautious in such places.

Tadeo saw that Riku began descending. He was actually excited now, and relieved that they finally got somewhere. Pointing to a dead tree, Tadeo scrunched his eyebrows and looked at it in confusion. He lowered himself as Riku did and followed close behind. Maybe it's a secret lever or something. Tadeo examined the tree when he got there. It was literally just a dead tree. He didn't know if there was anything special to it, and he couldn't really feel anything either. Knocking on the tree a bit, Tadeo wanted to see if it would do something. The Saiyan was confused, and he crossed his arms, looking around again.
Turning back to Riku, Tadeo got a little sarcastic. He felt he could be sarcastic and light hearted with this boy. "Would I be wrong if I asked if this base is cloaked like your ship?" Tadeo would continue to walk around some more, crossing his arms still, and looking around, too. He'd end up nearby Riku again to see what he'd do next.
"I swear, I'm gonna eat your entire race." - Tadeo
"Tycho is no longer Tycho. Tycho is now little girl. Yes!" - Majin Tycho
"Stupid scouter, coming off my face like that! Where the fuck is it!? There it fucking is! Hah!" - Sarai
Riku arrived at the tree, crouching down moving his hand through the dead grass before it stopped over a particular patch that looked different than all the grass. He applied force on said hand and a metallic click was heard. The large hole opened up in front of group that revealed a large tube going down. “Well, here it is. It’s kind of a long way down. Think of it was a slide." He said before climbing inside, holding onto the rim to keep himself up. ”Well, see you at the bottom!" He exclaimed before he let go, allowing his body to be carried by gravity as he went down and continued to pick up speed.
Reku was shocked a little when the ground base opened up in front of them. Underground? Guess that’s the only safe place nowadays. He thought as he walked towards the tube. Seeing Riku slide downwards, made him think that this was a little too childish for a safe haven. Reku thought that they would’ve had a teleporter or stairs or something. Anything besides something that you would see in a park. Look back towards Sonnelion, Shadic, and Tadeo. ”Well, uh. Who wants to go first?" He asked.
Riku explained how their base was a long way down and that they basically had a slide to enter. Then the kid jumped down, entering the base. If it was as long as Riku made it out to be, Shadic understood how safe it must have been. But how many people could they hold in an underground base? Was it super overpopulated down there?
Instead of just standing around and waiting, like Reku was, Shadic said, "Last one down is a rotten egg!" Then he jumped in after, Riku, letting the chute take him down to this super protected underground base. It couldn't have been any worse than the mess that was aboveground, so he had nothing to worry about.
Sonnelion saw the hidden passage opened by Riku, and watched Shadic and Riku jump in. Not one to be deterred by Shadic's challenge, he walked up to the passage, and casually jumped in. 'hah! looks like either Reku or Tadeo's gonna be the rotten egg!' the voice stated, making Sonnelion sweatdrop slightly. Seems the voice has a competitive air about it. Wonderful. He let gravity and the tube bring him down.

Tadeo watched as Riku, Shadic, and Sonnelion went down the slide. Sighing, Tadeo rolled his eyes and climbed into the hole, holding himself up as he looked down it. As he said something, he'd turn his head back to Reku. "Five Saiyans have fun sliding into single hole. Bet there're more subtle sexual puns in there, but that's beyond me to cum up with one." Tadeo smirked evilly and laughed a bit, listening to how stupid and uncalled for his joke was. Did he care what other people thought about his joke? Not really, but sexual jokes always seemed to lighten up the mood and add immaturity wherever he was. After this, Tadeo threw himself down the hole, sliding towards the bottom. As he slid, he crossed his arms, smirking a bit. The smirk slowly faded back to his normal face.
Tadeo liked the idea of an underground base. It was smart. Living underground meant isolation from the outside world, which in this case was a good thing. And, if the entrance to your underground lair was well hidden, you were practically set until the enemy gets restless. With this, Tadeo figured they'd be safe for a while. However, maybe something other than a slide would be more badass. For this specific occasion, Tadeo didn't think much about it. But for the future, he'd think about other things rather than a slide.
"I swear, I'm gonna eat your entire race." - Tadeo
"Tycho is no longer Tycho. Tycho is now little girl. Yes!" - Majin Tycho
"Stupid scouter, coming off my face like that! Where the fuck is it!? There it fucking is! Hah!" - Sarai
Reku shook his head in disapproval at Tadeo’s joke and hopped in as the “rotten egg” of the group. Together the group would slide into the DMs based Riku would be waiting for them, eager to show them around.
