Sunlight flooded into the cave, illuminating Sharyu's face. As his consciousness returned to him, the first sound that assaulted his ears was Dartan snoring, loudly. He rose to his feet, tossing his palm leaf blanket (sewn together by Otherion) aside. As he began to stretch, Otherion stirred on the moss he had been sleeping on. Turning over, he said “Morning Sharyu...Any prophetic dreams last night?”

Sharyu chuckled, “Sadly, no. Our best bet is still to find one of the Captain's maps, and make a raft to get out of here.”

Suddenly, the snoring stopped. Dartan let out a loud yawn, hand already reaching for the sack of berries that he had tied around his waist. Through a mouth full of berries, he mumbled, “You hafta be so loud!? I was trying to sleep!”

“Sorry, Dartan, we were only trying to find away to get your fat ass of this island,” Otherian said before he broke out laughing.

Sharyu sighed, “I'm going to find some food.” He turned towards the entrance and began to exit the cave.

“If you see any reeds bring 'em back!” Otherion yelled. “Those maps mite be at the bottom of the sea, and I can't exactly breath underwater!” Sharyu waved over his shoulder to show that he heard him as the sunlight washed over him.

[Hours later]
Hunting had gone well. Sharyu wasn't sure what to call the native creatures of Vegeta, but he was carrying at least 300 pounds of meat. I hope Dartan can make this edible, Sharyu thought as he maneuvered through the jungle that made up most of the island. He had also found a swampy area that had reeds for any underwater adventures they mite have. Suddenly, a roar broke through the jungle. Sharyu quickly looked in the direction of the noise, eyes wide. Whatever made that roar is large. Very large. As Sharyu stood there, completely still, refusing to move an inch, he heard a large creature not that far off crashing through the trees, coming rite at him. Quickly, he blasted off into the air, speeding towards the cave entrance. He lost the creature almost immediately, but he kept going, intent on getting to the safety that the cave offered.

About a minute later, Sharyu touched down at the entrance to the cave. He strode in and threw the animals in front of their bonfire. “Did you hear that roar?”

Dartan crawled over to the animals and began to inspect them when Otherian asked, “Yeah, scared the crap out of me! What the hell was it?”

“I don't know, and I don't really care to. Whatever it was, it was gigantic,” Sharyu replied.

“This meat's already cooked! What'd you do to it?” Dartan asked, lifting up one of the animals, smoke rising from its flesh.

“Must have been my ki. I had to fly here in a rush, sorry.”

“Don't be sorry! Flash cooked food is fine....with a few tweaks. There are some herbs in the area, I'll be back.” Dartan stood and quickly waddled out of the cave.

“Did you look for those maps at all?” Sharyu asked Otherion.

“Me!? I'm an old man! I can't go walking around in the jungle! And it's a good thing I didn't! I won't stand a chance against any creature, let alone a giant one! ...You'll have to find the map...I can make the raft but I'll need the materials.”

“Of course...Fine, I'll return shortly.” Yet again, Sharyu left the cave, intent on finding a map of the area.

[About an hour later]
Sharyu had searched a good part of the island around the cave with no luck. He found plenty of wreckage from the Prize Catch, and a few unlucky sailors, but nothing that could help. There had been no sign of the Captain or any of his possessions. Sharyu was finally returning to the cave, stomach rumbling, when he heard a twig snap off to his side. He quickly turned towards the sound, he let his aura explode out of him, blowing branches to the side, revealing a worn Captain dressed in animal leather. “You!” he yelled. “This is all your fault! If I hadn't brought you onto my ship, then..then....AGH!” The captain dashed towards Sharyu, bone club raised high. As he came in range, he swung the club towards the Shikirian's head, but he was far too under-trained to take on a warrior of Sharyu's caliber. He grabbed the man's wrist and twisted it to the side, breaking the bone and sending the club into the brush. As the captain screamed in agony, Sharyu brought his other hand up around his neck, he then released his wrist, suspending the captain in the air.

“MY FAULT!? You sailed us into a storm! You didn't see it coming! ...But I don't blame you.” Sharyu let the man fall to the ground, he scrabbled to his knees, gasping for breath. “The storm caused us to crash. Not you, not me, and not some 'higher power'. Deal with it.” He turned away from the captain and began to walk to the cave. But Captain wouldn't take that. He drew his knife that he had hidden under the leather's on his chest with his off-hand and charged Sharyu again. Sharyu sighed, hearing the man running through the brush before he even neared him. He spun around and delivered a quick elbow to the man's temple, caving in the skull. Captain dropped to the jungle floor, dead. Sharyu shook his head before turning to leave, but something caught his eye. A piece of paper barely poked out from under the captain's leathers and Sharyu knelt to grab it. As luck would have it, it was a map of the immediate area. Sharyu smiled, a large land mass lay about two dozen miles to the east of the island. Now all I have to do is gather the materials for Otherion and we can- a loud roar shattered Sharyu's thoughts. A tree fell behind him, narrowly missing him, falling about a foot to his right. He quickly turned around, just in time to see the head of a 40 foot dinosaur poking out of the jungle, staring rite at him with it's hungry eyes.
