The sky was green and the grass was blue, and Celerous was almost certain he was on some sort of hallucinogen. The water was also pretty green, but that sometimes was the case on Earth too, because of algae. So, at the very least, that was normal. But even with all of Namek's drastic differences from his own home planet, the young Earthling had to admit that it was beautiful. Clean, untouched by the smog and pollution that wreaked havoc on Earth's atmosphere.
It was peaceful too, and after Fukushu's assault on East City, Celerous yearned for a little bit of peace.
But there was more to his visit here. As much as he would have liked to be taking a little vacation, he was looking for someone: one Dion Haddock, whom Celerous hadn't seen since they'd fought at Celeste's insistence. Cel had gone by the bar multiple times, and yet no one had seen him since the day the young farmer had dropped him off on his bed. That made him worry, because there was something incredibly wrong with Dion: what had once been a mild-mannered and polite young man was now a jerk with an obsession with power.
Fukushu had been a little obsessed with power too. Celerous didn't want to draw a comparison between his best friend and an actual terrorist, but... well, he needed to check up on the Saiyan. If he could find him.
Fortunately, Dion had given him a list of emergency contacts in the event that something went wrong. Celerous had decided that going mysteriously missing counted. So now he was on Planet Namek, looking for a "Nero" and a "Zhalla." Cel had tried searching the capital already, and a handful of people had pointed him in this direction, toward Guru's Forest.
Celerous didn't know what a "guru" was, or why there was a forest named after him, but it seemed as good a place to start as any. One way or another, he was going to scour this planet until he found Dion's friends. Family? Frie-amily? The term didn't matter, so long as they could help him locate the bartender.
"Hello?" Celerous called out, "anyone out here?"
