Dragon Ball Legend

Necke

Gohan, Krillin, Ocarin and Dende returned back to the cave hideout, and they landed in front of the entrance, walking inside. They saw a large capsule hut that Bulma made using one of her capsule corp capsules. Krillin called out to her, and the scientist opened the door to see the four of them outside. Ocarin handed back the scouter to her. Dende quickly hid behind Gohan and Ocarin, slightly scared by the woman's appearance.

"It's okay. She's friendly. Well, most of the time. Bulma can be a little bossy more than me." Ocarin joked.

The four walked inside the house and Bulma pulled out some already made food and juice from the fridge. Krillin and Gohan had told Bulma what had happened. She placed the bento boxes down and drinks on the table for the four and went to go grab some strawberry cakes for herself. Gohan and Krillin were already chowing down on the food and Ocarin was eating some of the strawberry cake. But she stopped when she noticed that Dende wasn't eating.

"Sounds like you had a rough time out there." Bulma said.

"No kidding." Krillin replied as he, Ocarin and Gohan munched down on some strawberry cake. "We're lucky to be alive." Then the two noticed as well that Dende hadn't touched any of the food.

"I know it's not very good. But you should probably try to eat something to get your strength back." Krillin said, concern.

"Not very good!?" Bulma screeched angrily and she flinged a cake at Krillin's head. "The sure hasn't stopped you for stuffing your face! Would it kill you to show a little appreciate for once!"

"I wasn't talking about the food-It's the best I've ever had!" Krillin stammered, nervously, worried that if he said anything else would make her madder. Gohan laughed at Krillin until he noticed that Dende still hadn't took a bite of his food. Bulma sat down next to him.

"I'm sure he's just to upset after everything's happened." She said.

"Actually, Namekians don't really need food." Ocarin filled her in. Dende's eyes widened, looking at her. Bulma, Krillin and Gohan's did so as well.

"She's right. We only need water to live off of." Dende said. Ocarin smiled.

"How about I go grab a cup of water for you? Will you at least try that." She offered. Dende slowly nodded and Ocarin got up and poured a glass of water and came back and set it down in front of him. Dende took it and began to take small sips before he sat the drink back.

"But what about those fields of vegetables we saw out there? I saw them myself." Krillin said, confused.

"The fields you saw were Ajisa plants." Dende explained.

Krillin and the others looked at him confused and Dende continued. "The elder used to say that Planet Namek used to be a different place than it is today. They say are world was once lush and beautiful and filled with Ajisa trees. But one day a massive storm darkened our skies, violent winds tore across the planet, stripping the Ajisa trees of their delicate leaves. The whole planet was destroyed. In fact, all life on our planet was brought to the brink of extinction. The elders knew how the Ajisa trees brought beauty to our world and help make the soil rich. That's why we were trying to grow more of them. We hoped that this would bring our world back to life."

"That's awful." Ocarin said, sadly. "Do you know what caused the calamity to happen?" she asked him. Dende shook his head.

"No. No one knows. Our elder told us that it was a dark time for Namek that even he doesn't like to talk about it." Dende told her, looking down thinking about something then he looked back at the group. "If you don't mind me asking, why are you all here?"
