The next week was rather busy for Raigen as he had spend a lot of time gathering gear, supplies, and much to Cado's surprise, introducing himself to the leading powers of the Saiyan Republic. It got rather nasty when he fought a gauntlet of seven people who had attempted to remove his tail. Thankfully Cado's father intervened before He'd opted to go Super Saiyan just to dissuade anymore takers. After a heated discussion and a blown up wall courtesy of him threatening to kill the next person to try for his tail. It was agreed he'd provide evidence for his claim of not manifesting the ability to become a great ape.<br/><br/>Raigen spent that night camping on a mesa under observation under the light of the full moon. Apparently, Piccolo had removed Gohan's tail before he'd gone great ape. After his first hour, He'd gotten a visitor in the form of a female earthling that had identified herself as Cado's mother. She'd brought him food and some new Saiyan battle armor to replace his. They talked for a bit, then sparred for a while. She'd completely caught him off-guard at her speed and precision of her strikes, easily balancing to scales of the match.<br/><br/>He found himself pushed to his very limits sparring with her. Not something that happened often anymore outside fights with Goku and Vegeta. It was quite surprising to find a earthling that could keep up with a saiyan, let alone push them so far.<br/>Had to admit, he probably would have easily taken her for a mate had she been closer to his age. They stopped soon after he'd had that thought.<br/><br/>When she left, she had left with a warm smile and a quick platonic peck on the cheek that had left him in the same state of confusion that eighteen had left krillin in when he'd told him about her kissing his cheek. He was left standing on the mesa looking in the direction she'd left in thinking, 'What the heck was that for?'
