Like the beaches of Earth, New Namek's beaches can seemingly go on forever. They are beautiful places to visit and have fun after a big event or something like that.
These make very peaceful and ideal meditation spots. You can also swim here!

Having landed on the shores of the beach, the tide washes up on Akiza's pod, cooling it down as steam rose from it. The hatch opens and Akiza steps out. Looking out to the vast ocean, Akiza takes in a deep breath of fresh air, exhaling slowly....
"Ahhhhh.... Such nice clean air.... Such a beautiful scene... Meh.... Whatever..."
Kicking some sand into the water, Akiza wastes no time... She pulls out her radar and turns it on, waiting for a signal...

The signal will be out in the sea itself... though not that far... the ball is under the water visible along the coast... Which ball? The 4-Star Dragon Ball.
It will take many dives to be able to find and retrieve this Dragon Ball, due to the need to resurface for air so many times in an underwater search.
Finding this ball will take a minimum of 30 minutes, starting from Akiza's first post here. There is also a minimum 19 post requirement of searching itself.

Akiza's radar begins beeping at that, and her eyes light up with excitement...
"Alright! It actually works! So... Now just to find it..."

Astarot awakens when he sees an unusually small post by Akiza. He is watching her carefully.

Looking ahead, Akiza sees the DB was actually located out into the ocean. She sighs at this, hanging her head and looking out to the ocean...
"You gotta be fuckin' kidding me... You mean to tell me that I have to SWIM... Unbelievable..."
Akiza growns at that, taking off her battle cuirass and throwing it in her spacepod. As it'd only restrict her movements/weigh her down in the water. Stretching her arms a bit, she prepares to dive into the water...

Just as Akiza goes to jump in the water, she stops, looking down to the radar she had n her right hand...
"Wait a minute... Can this radar get wet...? I don't want it to break... But... I can't find the ball without it..."
Akiza was clearly faced with a dillema now... If the radar got ruined, there'd be no chance of her finding the Dragonball...

Akiza paced back and forth with this new development... She knew that without the ability to fly as of yet, she couldn't just free scout over the area... It would ruin everything if she dived in, and the damn radar short-circuited.... Though, she couldn't just leave and try to learn to fly could she...? That could take awhile... She'd lose her chance at getting the Dragonball. Someone could come along and steal it...

"Ah! I don't have a choice! Either way, I have to see..."
Taking off her Scouter as well, she throws it into the pod as well with her cuirass. Preparing herself, she dives in... Quickly bringing the radar up out of the water as she floating on the surface, she looks to find it was in fact waterproof...
"Phew.... Good, it still works... I would have been mad as hell at that..."

With that aside now, Akiza begins swimming forward. Stopping every so often to get at look at the radar to make sure she was gooing the right direction..
"Okay.... From here... It says the ball is west... Still a ways out... Damnit... I hate swimming..."

Akiza conitinues her search... Well, her search hadn't actually started yet... She had yet to make it to the exact location. Everytime she thought she was close, she was in fact looking at the radar on a larger scale. Realizing she had to press the button on top to scale it up and down for the proper radius reading...
"Ugh... I should have read the manual for this thing before I ran out of that store...."

As Akiza swims, she looks down to see something shining on the ocean's floor... Akiza's eyes widen with anticipation once she catches sight of this shinning object...
"Could that be it...? I should have asked Nova what they looked like... No sense in not checking it out..."
With that said, she dives underwater, swimming towards the shinning object....

Upon reaching the object, Akiza finds that it's only a pearl... It was about the size of a Namekian DB, though slightly smaller in diameter... It may have been worth quite a fortune to some one else. Though for Akiza, this pearl was worthless...
"Damnit! This isn't it... I know it isn't... Still, that's a damn big pearl..."

Akiza's face begins to gain a blue flush now, as she puts her left hand to her throat... She had been underwater for too long and was running out of air... Quickly she began swimming back to the surface, bursting out from underwater. Breathing heavily for awhile, she exhales slowly, gaining her composure...
"Damn.... That was a close one... I better be more careful..."

Swimming aroung the coast, Akiza finds another shinning object underwater... Once again diving underwater, she swims to find out the indentity of said object. Upon getting to it, she frowns....
"You gotta be kiddin' me... ANOTHER pearl...? And just how big are clams on this planet anyway..."

Returning to the surface once more, Akiza begins to get discouraged with her search... Holding the radar up to look over once more... The frustration could be seen in her face as she thinned her eyes at the device...
"This damn thing is too inaccurate! All it gives is a general area... Well, I suppose it's pretty accurate... Given what it can detect and all... Still, this is getting ridiculous..."

Heading to a new location, Akiza finds yet again another shiny object. She's way pass the point of getting her hopes up now... Though still, she had to be sure. She couldn't just blow it off. Because if was infact the ball, she'd be mad as hell if she passed over it. So, once again, Akiza dives underwater, swimming toward the shiny object....

"Well, what do ya know... ANOTHER fuckin' pearl... If I were a pirate, I guess this would be a good thing...
Yes... Once again, Akiza finds another pearl.... She had come to expect this now, and began doubting everything Nova had told her... Maybe the radar was just some stupid device that detected pearls... It sure did seem that way with Akiza's luck...

Returning to the surface, Akiza begins swimming to a new location, looking at the radar every so often. Of course, she had to stop to look at the radar. She was getting a bit tired of swimming around... Though, she couldn't stop now... She had to find that Dragonball...

Floating on her back now, with her hands resting on her abdomen, radar in hand, Akiza stops her search for a moment. Just taking some time to regain some strength and breath easy. All the swimming and diving... Swimming and diving... SWIMMING AND DIVING.... It was getting pretty redundant and frustrating...

"I guess that's enough rest... No way I'm gonna find it if I give up now... Better get back to it!"
Rolling over, Akiza holds the radar up yet again, hoping to lock in on the exact location of the Dragonball. Overall, it just gave the same reading as it had the whole time... Which cause Akiza to just sigh, and sort of hang her head...

As Akiza swims, she looks up to see the shore and her pod not too far off. At which, she grumbles under her breath at...
"Damnit! I've been swimming around in circles! Huh....? What's that...?"
Looking from peripheral vision to her right, she saw another shiny object... Only this time, it was moving... Every so slightly... On one side of the object, it looked like a shadow was cast over it.... Or perhaps some seaweed stuck to it... Either way, Akiza dives underwater to check it out...

Upon reaching the object, Akiza could make out it's large size and orange coloring. Her radar began beeping like crazy the closer she got to it...
"Awesome! This has to be it! The Dra-.....! What is that?!"
Unfortunately for Akiza, that "shadow" on the ball was actually a giant enemy crab... Hugging the ball, and carrying it along the ocean floor to a coral reef in the distance. Turning to spot Akiza, this crab was pissed.... It quickly jumped out to defend the ball from her, holding it's claws up to her to pinch her when she got close...
"That's one pumped up crab... I think it thinks the ball is food or something... Either way, it don't have time for this..."
Holding her right palm to the crab, she fires a pink ki orb at it... The crab freaks out at that, getting hit, it quickly swims away before it could be attacked again... Clearly it realized that it wasn't worth the hassle.... Akiza laughs slightly at that, reaching out now and claiming her prize. Tucking the ball under her left arm, she swims back up to the shore. Setting the ball down infront of her pod, Akiza smiles...
"Yes! 1 down.... 6 to go! Wasn't too hard I guess... Still, no matter the hardships, the pay off will be well worth it..."
Item Get: 4-Star Namekian DB!

Taking Dragonball in hand, Akiza looks over it closely, examining it...
"Hmm.... What's this...? There are four stars on it... I guess they're labeled in a sense....? Makes it easier for me to distinguish between them. So, this one is number four... They're alot bigger than I had imagined them to be... Holding onto them won't be easy... I'll have to find a place to store them here on Namek once I find more... The one is fine to carry along for now..."
Looking around now, it had gotten late... The day was done, as night assumed the lead role... Akiza was tired herself.... Haven not rested ever since leaving Vegeta. Getting inside her pod, with DB sitting on her lap, Akiza falls to sleep...

As the sun rises, the rays of light shine through the pod window, onto Akiza's face. Blinking her eyes a few times, she wakes up, letting out a big yawn....
"Ah.... That was actually a good night's sleep... First I've had in a long time..."
Looking down to the DB in her lap, she smiles. She was one step closer to reaching her goal...

Now awake, Akiza knew what she needed to do. Among continuing her hunt for the DBs, she need to find a safe place to store them. She could pile them all in her pod, but she needed to find a place for the pod... She couldn't just leave it here out in the open on the beach shores. Not only that, she had wanted to scout the planet and see the abilities of these Namekians herself. So, using her Scouter, she gets the power readings of some Namekians to the west. Flying in her pod, she heads for the power signals...

Shiro landed the ship on a random beach, kicking up a decent bit of sand. "Well, we're back to the backwards planet." He said, looking out over the green water. I can't believe I mistook that for GRASS!

Cacao stood up, approaching the ship's door and waiting for Shiro to open the damn thing. The fourteen year old wondered if anything had actually occurred during the time they were gone. She had noticed that it had been relatively calm over the past two days.

Shiro noticed Cacao waiting by the door and hurriedly pressed the button to open it. "Sorry, zoned out a bit." Standing, Shiro would wait for Cacao to leave, then follow her out, turning to capsulize the ship when they were both outside. He then picked up the capsule and added it to his pocket.

Stepping out onto the sand, the fourteen year old sighed. She still couldn't stand Namek's palette-swappiness. It was likely that it never would stop bugging her, but she knew she'd just have to learn to put up with it until she left.
