This planet is full of lava. There are very few pieces of land to walk around on, but there is one piece of land where you can land a Spaceship... somewhere in the South Pole where the planet is eternally dark and always facing away from the Star of this planet's solar system.
Did I mention this planet is ridiculously close to a Star? Hence the molten rock effect? Spacesuits can only last so long, but x1.5 transformations can cope for a little while longer.
Unfortunately, there's no oxygen here anyways, so you'll have to transform and then put on a suit... then you can spend a few hours outside, but just try not to burn anything when you get back, 'kay?

The ship neared the planet, circling it a few times while it tried to find a place to land. After several minutes, it found a suitable location, and then shot down, settling into place in its landing spot. "Well..t.his planet is...really, really, hot..." Ace mumbled.

YOU FAILED!
Make it to the second page and you can realize that the signal is coming from another planet further away... and you landed too soon...
Stay here too long and you may die again.

Looking out the window, the sight Ace saw left him feeling extremely uneasy about this planet. "This...is gonna be fun..." he mumbled. "Looks like it's gonna be hot as shit out there... Perfect... Best get a space suit..."

With a sigh, Ace shook his head. "Well, best get this over with, I guess... Might be best to try and use my ki to ignore the heat as much as I can. IT worked for the cold, might work for the heat too." And at that, he let his power rise, ascending after a moment into his Gamma Kai state.

"Okay... Now I should be able to tolerate the temperatures for a while, as long as I don't get too close to the surface." He went to the hatch and tried to open it, but it wouldn't budge. "Huh?" He saw a blinking warning light. "What's this now..."

After a moment, Ace slapped himself in the forehead. "Probably atmospheric stuff or something... Ah, well...spacesuit time, I guess." And so, after much rummaging, Ace managed to get a spacesuit on, and then pressed the override button to open the hatch.

The hatche opened, and immediately, a wall of heat hit Ace, almost knocking him down. "Ah...god damn, it's hot..." he mumbled. He slowly descended the steps of the ship and capsulized it, putting it in one of the pockets of the suit. "Okay, let's move quickly here!"

He took off at that, pulling out his planet-wide radar as he did. Turning it on, he blinked in confusion. "Eh? There's...no dragonball here? Oh, come on, is this thing busted?!" He smacked the radar once, and sighed, returning it to his pocket. "Shit..."

"The thing's gotta be broken..." Ace grumbled. "Must be the heat or something. Well, best start searching the planet the old fashioned way, then... Off I go!" And so Ace shot off in a random direction at that, moving with all the speed he could over the molten surface of the planet.

Scanning the planet's 'surface' as he flew over it, Ace continued to find more and more nothing...except lava, of course. Oh, and of course, lots and lots of heat. And plumes of fire and stuff.

"Gah... After this, I swear, I am going to need a shower or something..." Ace complained. "Seriously, I can already smell myself in this heat; it's ridiculous!" He sighed, but continued scouring the planet.

"Better yet... After this, I'm going back to Earth and gettign a shower and taking a nap!" Ace said, a grin forming on his face. "Yeah, that, and maybe a visit back home for a little bit... Couldn't hurt, y'know...?"

"Yeah...that's what I'll do, definitely!" Ace said, brightening up considerably. "Just gotta get the last dragonball, then rest for a while and go to Namek and get the last one! Then Earth will be saved and everything'll be fine!"

Ace started to hum nonsense to himself as he darted over the planet of liquid ninja repellant, glancing around in every direction at random. Horribly inefficient, but he was convinced his radar was busted, so he kept searching regardless.

But the more he searched, and the hotter he got, the more and more Ace's conviction of his radar being busted started to wear off. MAybe he had just landed on the wrong planet, or something...?

It took him a few minutes, but Ace eventually let out a long sigh. Coming to a halt, he hovered in place for a moment. "Man... This planet is really, really small or something... Either that, or I've gotten turned around a few times..."

"'Cause I swear this is the sixth time i've passed over that spot... It's where I landed, and it seems like the only piece of solid ground on the entire damned planet!" Ace shook his head. "This entire planet is made of shit..."

"Well... Not literally..." Sighing, Ace looked up at the sky...or lack thereof, as was more likely on this accursed planet. "Makes me wonder... Who the hell created these damn Black Star Dragonballs in the first place?"

"Someone who lieks to play horribly cruel jokes, I bet..." Ace chuckled. "Yeah... Wish for anything you want, then die horribly as your planet blows up..." He got a real laugh out of that one. "Cruel..."

"Well... Lemme check this thing again...." Ace pulled out his planet-wide radar again. "I hope it's back to normal again..." He turned it on, and once again got no signal. "Oh come on!" he shouted, then hung his head in depression.

"This is... This is just the worst thing... Hunting for Dragonballs with a busted radar..." He shook his head, then turned in the air so he was floating with his back to the lavamagma below. "Well... What to do now..."

"Well, there's always that..." Ace put his radar back into his pocket, and pulled out his Universal Radar. "Wonder if this one still works..." Turning it on, he got a signal...from off-planet. "Eh...say what...?"

Post by Ace on Mar 18, 2010 23:47:11 GMT -5
"This is...just..." Ace shook his head. "Un-freakin-believable..." He swiped at the air with his radar, then turned it off and returned it to his pocket. "Alright, best get off this ball of lava as soon as I can..."

Ace closed his eyes to focus on his destination so he could teleport away, but was interrupted by a loud rumble and a spew of lava. "Gah!" Ace had to dart out of its way quickly or risk becoming...well...burninated.

"Ok, seriously need to get out of here, and fast!" Ace said, his voice slightly panicked. "But I need to get away from these damn eruptions of fire so I can focus for a minute!" He dashed away from the plumes of fire with those words still spewing from his mouth.

Dodging around another eruption of fire in front of him, Ace looked around for any sort of solid ground which might buy him a few seconds at the least. His efforts rewarded him with the sight of that damned piece of ground he had landed on!

Ace grinned. "Alright, that'll do!" And so he started for it, only to be met with a literal wall of lavamagma erupting in front of him. "WHOA!" Ace shot straight back at that, his eyes wide in surprise. "Yeesh, this planet is DANGEROUS!"

Dodging around another eruption of lava, Ace made a mad dash for the solid ground he had spied. "Come on, come on, no lava, no lava!" he whispered. And what did he encounter? A plume of fire belching out from the lava.

"GAH! FIRE!" Ace shouted, stating the obvious. His spacesuit caught fire in several places. "Fuck... This is not good..." he mumbled. "How can fire even burn when there's no damned oxygen?!" he shouted.
