Raigen followed the half-saiyan's attack up with a lightning quick thrust kick to the same area, sending Raditz flying almost a kilometer backward before landing on his knees in agonized disbelief. He snatched up Gohan and vanished suddenly, reappearing next to Goku with two fingers pressed to his forehead. He handed the unconscious kid to him then vanished again, appearing next to the half-saiyan in a relaxed fighting stance. He didn't mean to hit Raditz that hard but he had been reacting to the situation.<br/><br/>"Its difficult to explain about my tail, but we got a bigger problem right now." He said as Raditz came back spitting mad, "He's about as strong as you and a lot more likely to play dirty. I'll back you up but don't get careless. I'm not gonna carry you through this."<br/><br/>Raigen's disinterested tone he'd used with the half-saiyan before was replaced with a hard, no nonsense tone born of many hard-won battles. He stepped forward in from of the half-saiyan, taking a defensive stance as he tanked a powerful ki wave from Raditz as he cursed about having yet another person to deal with. When the dust cleared, he merely dusted himself of, not hurt at all.
