Inside one of the villages on planet Namek, around 20 namekians of all ages could be seen going about their daily life with a peaceful smile plastered on their face.
Among them, two young children were playing between themselves chasing each other and occasionally letting out a peal of laughter which brings a touch of liveliness to the otherwise calm village. Everyone around them couldn't help but smile when they see how happy and carefree they are.
After some time, the two children ran toward the oldest namekian who was sitting with his eyes closed in front of a white namekian house.
"Elder Moori, can you allow us to go play at the nearby lake outside the village?" asked the older one among them.
"Please Elder Moori, we promise to be careful and avoid trouble." seconded the youngest one.
Opening his eyes and smiling at them he says, "alright you can go play at the lake outside but make sure to not stray away from there, it can be dangerous. Also, you're only allowed to stay outside for an hour after that you need to come back."
"Thank you Elder Moori!!!" they both exclaim before rushing toward the lake outside.
Not long after, they arrive at the place and start playing with the small animals nearby. Sometimes trying to catch a butterfly or chasing after a frog. Without realizing it, they have spent almost an hour playing when they started hearing a heavy sound coming from far away.
Boom...
Boom...
Boom...
"Brother Dende, did you hear that?" asked Cargo with a worried look.
"Yes it sounds like something heavy is coming this way, maybe one of the big predators, "answer Dende while looking at the horizon.
Listening to what his brother said fear immediately wash over Cargo, "brother.....I think we should go back we already played long enough."
"Yes you're right, we shouldn't make the others worry let's head back."
After making up their mind, they turn around making their way back when they heard the same sound again, only this time it seem stronger and closer.
BOOM!!!!!
Turning around they were able to see a shadow falling from the sky at breathtaking speed heading straight for the lake and making the water go high up in the air before falling all around.
Dende and Cargo were already on their butt shaking with fear while wondering what kind of creature can cause so much movement.
While the kids were still trying to understand what is going on, the creature decided to jump out from the lake and land right in front of them making them scream with teary eyes.
"Hey Cargo, Dende it's just me Tamo, there is no need to be scared." Quickly explained Tamo when he saw the children were about to cry.
When they heard the familiar voice, they calmed down and took another look at the figure standing in front of them and realizing that it was Tamo.
"Tamo!!!!" they shout together while standing up, "But what are you doing here? I thought that you were training with Nail on the other side of the planet," asked Dende after getting over his excitement.
Tamo shook his head with a depressed look " I was but about a month ago Nail stopped holding back during our sparing session. Just now it was him who sent me hurling all the way here."
"So that was the sound we were hearing about, I thought it was one of the predators making its way here.'
"No, not a predator but more like a monster who likes to bully children and having unhealthy thoughts toward his Elder!!!" says Tamo with a serious look when suddenly a shadow appears behind him and hits him on the head.
Bang!!
"Ouch!...what bastard dared to hit this young mast...." turning with an angry expression Tamo came face to face with Nail, "Oh hi Nail, how are you doing?" and immediately change what he was about to say mid-sentence while smiling.
After giving him a deep look that makes Tamo start sweating bullets he turn his attention to the young namekians.
"What are the two of you doing out here so far from the village, don't you know that It's dangerous?"
"We are sorry brother Nail, we just wanted to come out to play and even asked Elder Moori before coming" they explained while looking at the ground.
Still holding his stern gaze and was about to continue lecturing them when Tamo intervened, "Alright no need to punish them for such a small thing. How about we take them back to the village, I'm sure everything will be clear once we get there."
"Fine," he says and starts making his way toward the village.
Looking at his back, Tamo couldn't help but mutter under his breath "tch, you and your uptight personality, always looking so serious. hmm, just you wait when I get stronger than you I'll make sure to give your face a makeover and pay you back for all the beating I received."
Nail ears immediately twitched and he stopped in his tracks, which made me remember that namekians had better hearing than most races.
"hahaha, I was just joking, don't mind me. Now Dende, Cargo let's go before they start looking for you."
Tamo and the others make their way to the village while chatting among themselves except for Nail who only joins when you ask him something.
It's already been a year since Tamo came to planet Namek. During that time he spends most of his time training with Nail while the rest is used to get to known the other namekians. That was how he was able to get close to Dende and Cargo. Now that he almost completed everything he set to do on Namek, he knows that he will have to leave soon even though he liked the people living here.

*****************************
Seeing the improvements he got from a single year of sparring with Nail he couldn't help but smile and wonder how quickly he will grow when he started training under higher gravity.
After reaching the village, we went to meet Elder Moori who warmly welcome us and explained that he was the one who allowed the kids to go play outside. With that out of the way, Tamo decided to go take care of the hunger he's been feeling for a while now.
After getting his fill, Tamo went to Elder Moori to ask for the dragon balls.
"Elder Moori can you get the dragon balls and summon the dragon please."
"Of course Tamo, just give me a second to bring them out."
On the side, when Nail heard what Tamo said, he came to ask, "You are leaving already?"
"Yes, I've been here for a year already and achieved my objectives, so I have to leave and continue my journey. What? going to miss me?"
"hmm, in your dreams." then he walked away going back to his corner.
At the same time, Elder Moori already got all 7 dragon balls out.
"Are you ready Tamo?" he asked
"Yes, please go ahead and summon the dragon," Tamo said while being excited to see the dragon of legend. So he stepped aside letting Elder Moori summon the dragon which had to be done in the namekians language.
Seconds later, all seven balls start to shine in deep golden color before shooting a light that reached the clouds.
Looking up, Tamo could see the sky darkening as if it were nighttime. Not long after a giant dragon with ripped muscles could be towering above us. Well, it looked more like a naga with green skin and two antennae similar to the namekians is.
"Since you were able to gather all seven dragon balls, as it is written I will grant you three wishes. Choose wisely." A deep voice came out from the dragon.
Elder Moori turned forward Tamo, "Go ahead and tell me your wishes so I can translate them to the dragon."
"Alright, my first wish is the ability to survive in the vacuum of space."
"My second is to have a passive regeneration, the highest he can grant me."
"My last is the ability to use magic with the knowledge of how to use it," Tamo told Elder Moori all his wishes in a single breath and waiting for him to translate them to the dragon.
"These wishes are in my power to grant, now that my job is over I shall take my leave." After his eyes glowed red for a couple of seconds, the dragon vanished, and then the seven dragon balls flew Into the sky before shooting in different directions
On Tamo's side, nothing changed physically but he could tell that there was something new in his body and there was also the new knowledge about magic in his brain. Smiling, he decided to put his magic to the test. With a thought, he changed his clothes to one similar to Vegito is but black instead of blue.
'Well, this seems easy enough, I'll need to take time in the future to find out what other use it could also have.'
After getting the hang of it, Tamo thanked Elder Moori and said goodbye to everyone in the village. Dende and Cargo we're both reluctant to see him leave even though they understand his reasons. He also promised to visit them in the future, something that will be very easy when he learn instant transmission.
Then with Nail tagging along, we made our way toward Grand Elder Guru's residence. Arriving at the familiar place, we went inside before coming in front of Elder Guru's giant body sitting on his stone chair.
"It's good to see you Grand Elder" Tamo smiles at the elderly namekian.
"It's good to see you too young Saiyan warrior. It seems that you are ready to leave. Hmmm, come closer let me unlock your potential."
"Thank you, Elder Guru," Tamo answered before making his way right next to the elderly namekian.
He put his palm on my head which was big enough to cover my whole head before closing his eyes. Seconds later, Tamo felt a massive power rising from the deepest part of his being, It was so vast that he had trouble accepting that it came from his own body.
While Tamo was lost in his imagination, Elder Guru on the other hand was completely shocked at what he was feeling from the young Saiyan warrior. His potential felt boundless, it's like there is no limit to it and the most surprising part is that his power seen to not be able to draw it out. Even after giving his all for a couple of minutes, he could only awaken a tiny part of it.
"Young Saiyan warrior, it seems that your potential is too big for me to draw out, I was only able to awaken a small part of it, the rest will have to rely on your effort," explained Elder Guru
"This is also fine, my power just doubled without me doing anything so you have my thanks." said an excited Tamo.
'Hehe, 50000 BP and if I use Ikari I'll have 500000. I should pretty safe as long as don't meet any of those anomalies.'
"I'm glad to hear that. Before you leave, there is something I'll need your help with young Saiyan."
"After getting treated so nicely since my first day on Namek, I'll gladly help with anything I can so please ask what you need Elder Guru."
With a kind smile on his face, Elder Guru looked approvingly toward Tamo before saying, "When Planet Namek was experiencing climate change, some namekians decided to launch their children to space as a desperate attempt to save our race from extinction but also a way to give the younger ones a chance to survive. I only know of two such children, the sons of Katas and Atnos."
Taking a deep breath before continuing, "I don't know if they were able to survive but I want you to keep an eye out for them during your travel and bring them to see me if you can find them."
"This is a small matter, I'll take care of it. Do you have any clue on where to start looking for them?" Toma calmly asked even though he was very surprised. The son of Katas should be Kami, as for the other one he got no idea.
"I only Know that Atnos son was sent to planet Slug, I hope it can help in your search." said elder Guru after thinking for a bit.
Hearing the word Slug got Tamo shocked to the core. The only Namekian that was sent there was Lord Slug from the movie of the same name. Does this mean that all movies character exist in this world or is this the only exception?
'Hehe, seem like things got even more interesting.'
"I'm sure it will be helpful. Thank you for everything you did for me Elder Guru, I'll make sure to visit in the future." Tamo bowed toward the elderly namekian who nodded back in return. Before making his way outside along with Nail where he summoned his space ball.
"Well, teacher it seems this will be goodbye for now."
"Hmm, good riddance I can finally get back to my peaceful life after a tiring year of babysitting." answer Nail with a tired expression.
"haha, I will miss you too Nail, no need to be shy about it," Tamo exclaimed after seeing his antics, "anyway, you should also keep up with your training instead of standing in front of a door all day like a statue otherwise I'll leave you in the dust."
"Yeah you wish," he said with a grin. Then they bumped the fists before Tamo turned around and jumping inside his space ball then shooting straight to the sky toward the darkness of space to take the next step in his journey.

End of chapter.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Oh God, it seems that this young master doesn't have any talent for cultivation, it takes too long to breakthrough. On the other hand, I was able to write 2.3k words just a little bit shy of 2.4k words someone praise me and satisfy my ego 😆.
As you can see, I tried to write in third person in this chapter so tell me what you think.
Is it good? is it bad? which one do you think I should stick with third or first person?
One last thing, who the hell is Atnos? don't ask me cuz I don't know. I was just looking for a name similar to Katas just for the sake of the story and Atnos was the first thing that came to my mind so I went with that.
From now one if anyone asks you who is the father of Slug then say Atnos 😀.
Enjoy!!!!!
