While the Namekian's had been trying their absolute hardest at keeping the final Dragon Ball out of Arctic's grasp, they had been doing a damn good job. Their attempts at delaying him had been more than successful. It was more than frustrating, Arctic had been searching an area that contained a Dragon Ball only for the Namekians to swoop in and steal it at the last possible second.  They had been so close to digging it out of the soil of Namek and here they were, a week later trying to track it down again. 

This time around the Radar had brought them to a new Namekian village, one that hadn't been visited yet. It simply hadn't been visited yet due to the lack of importance. Most villages that Arctic and his soldiers had gone too had contained a Dragon Ball and they were completely destroyed with most or all of the village being wiped out. There had been no point in leaving any Namekian survivors. This time, was going to be a complete massacre.

"Surround the Village, I don't want any Namekian's slipping away this time. Kill any Namekian on sight. Leave none alive."

"Yes sir!" The captain of the group seemed overly confident, but Arctic knew their failures all too well.
While the captain thought he could handle it, he surely was going to fail and Arctic had expected it by this point. The amount of failure from his troops was more than he could handle. It had suggested that his troops were in dire need of training or that they simply had to be replaced. Either way, it was an issue that was going to need to be addressed. The Captain would deploy his troops accordingly, creating a perimeter around the village to allow none to escape. They wouldn't tolerate it again. The Dragon Ball was here, it was within reach. It just needed to be found. 

While the Captain had made a solid perimeter around the area, Arctic would take a handful of troops and land in the center of the town. He lifted his finger and started blasting Namekian's down with his Death Beam technique. It didn't take long before dozen's of Namekian corpses had hit the dirt and began to stain the soil with their blood. Plenty had tried to flee as the blaster fire from the perimeter had sounded off. This was an absolute blood bath, it was one that Arctic had very well enjoyed. These Namekian's deserved it for what they had done, they had stalled his progress for far too long and it was the end of it. All the Namekian's were going to die, either by his hand or the tree of might, he didn't really care. He just knew that it was going to be the outcome. Body after body hit the ground and by time the population had been cleared, Arctic had felt a little more at ease.

With the obvious signs of life wiped out, Arctic had began looting through all of the buildings. Searching every corner in hopes that he'd find the Dragon Ball. He knew that one of these houses had to have had it, or maybe one of the Namekians that tried to flee did. Though he knew that his troops must've shot them down.  It was here, it was once again within reach. He just had to find it. He ripped apart the interior of every single building, not even thinking about checking the radar.

He had been confident it was here, hiding somewhere within the panels, or in the floor or somewhere. He just needed to bring it out. The search continued as he went through house to house. He wasn't going to quit until progress was made. He searched each of the houses from top to bottom, he wasn't giving up. This was everything he ever wanted. His power was within reach, he was soon going to be the greatest and most powerful being in the universe.     All he had to do was find this damn ball, now where did the Namekians hide it?
The search would continue until every single building had been ripped apart, Arctic would even begin to blast the landscape as his soldiers looked high and low. They weren't going to give up, each of the soldiers knew that the sooner they had found this ball, the sooner they could go home. It was a matter of time until a soldier had thought he found something, but when he looked... it was..
