To Lettis' credit, he had managed to acquire a space pod with inbuilt sleeping gas, to make the trip to Earth seem shorter. It was something he was especially grateful for since his hyperactive mind would have driven him insane with no external stimuli but whatever was visible through the red lens at the front of the pod. Also a good point was that when he awoke the planet Earth was visible to him in all its glory.
He would have felt elation for more than a minute if a certain question hadn't crept up on him: 'Where am I landing?' And that one stuck with him as the red-tinted marble filled more and more of the sky. On Vegeta there were spaceports for these things, and there probably were on Arcose as well. But his pod wasn't receiving any guidance from below as it should, which meant...
It was a fact that in space no one could hear you scream, but Lettis would have liked to hope that some of his frustrated yell made it out above the sound of the space pod entering the Earth's atmosphere. The future king sat back in the seat and cursed, gripping the arm rest unreasonably tight in an attempt to ignore the plummeting feeling he had; both literal and figurative. The only way to find out where he'd end up, was to get there.
The first clue he received that planetfall had been made was the colossal jolt that shook him and the sound of thunder louder than any he'd heard before. While the manufacturers of these craft did their best to minimise the effects on the occupants there was no denying that using the generic brand space pods was a rough experience. Well, at least it was better than whatever was on the receiving end outside. With that thought in mind, Lettis smartly hit the open button and took a moment to place the remote in his armour's breast-pocket. Never know when it might come in handy.
"So that's what its like to fly economy huh?" Lettis remarked after climbing out of the pod and stretching his limbs for the first time in ages. Currently he was at the bottom of the crater formed by his crash landing, and couldn't see much over the edge. The brown dirt walls of the earth weren't as interesting as whatever else might be out there, so after a cursory glance to make sure that his pod was as safe as he could make it, he rose up out of the crater and was greeted by the sight of never-ending fields of green, with one lonely mountain in the distance. There were also strange avian creatures which Lettis regarded with amazement. Creatures that lightly protected wouldn't last a minute on Vegeta! It was like they were practically inviting predators in!
"Just my luck, I happen to land in the middle of nowhere. Seriously, where are the country hicks with their pop-guns and jugs of moonshine!?" Lettis' frustration only grew when he started flying forward and saw nothing but farmland and the weird birds; and to his great surprise, an actual farmer with a gun and a jug of moonshine. It was the perfect moment for slapping his palm into his face, but he refrained and kept on flying. There had to be something interesting on this continent!
