"Talking"
—----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Arrival at Planet Harro will commence in approximately 10 minutes." A robotic voice filled his space pod, and Gray looked through the reddish-purple window at the rapidly approaching planet.
I'll be glad to be out of this damn pod.
No matter how many times Gray used a Saiyan Pod, he could never get used to the cramped interior of one. At least this time he had something to occupy his attention a bit, as a quest was floating at his side.

Eventual Death!
The rewards are pretty good. That means it'll be hard.
The rewards were more than pretty good - they were great. Especially the large amount of perk and skill tokens, along with the huge amount of attribute points. For rewards this high, which were essentially twice as good as the rewards he had gotten on Earth, Gray knew the mission itself would be difficult.
He had no idea who this 'Planetary Monach' was, but he assumed he was the leader of the entire coalition. From the briefings that Renso had provided them for each planet, it seemed that there was an individual leader for each planet. The inhabitants of each planet tended to stay on their own home planet, but they could request aid from the other planets if needed.
Gray was headed for the first planet, Harro, because he figured it was best to work his way up. The final planet, which was furthest from Planet Vegeta, was also possibly the strongest. It was called Monass, and it was the primary planet that the Frieza Force and Saiyan Elite squads had been going after. It made sense in theory: Take out the strongest planet, and then the rest will follow. But in practice it hadn't worked. All the squads had been wiped out, and pretty quickly too.
I'm not really worried about myself, but…
If worst came to worst, Gray could say 'fuck it' and spend a huge portion of his coins in the shop on dragon balls. He wasn't sure which wishes were within Shenron's current power or not, and he still didn't want to risk wishing for immortality, but he could probably figure out a good enough one to make it out of the mission alive. Beyond that, he also had a ton of points he could use.
What he was really worried about was the rest of his squad. He wasn't sure he'd be able to protect all of them, even if Caulifla and Kale were headed on the mission as well.
I don't have time to worry about that now. I'll adapt, just like I always do.
"Arrival at Planet Harro will commence in approximately 1 minute." A robotic voice filled his space pod again, and Gray prepared himself as the planet in front of him grew larger and larger. A moment later, his pod slammed into the ground with a boom, and then the door opened.
Gray pushed himself out, glancing around as numerous other pods soared down from the sky around him. As he looked around the planet, he was surprised.
This… looks a hell of a lot like Earth.
He thought dryly. All around him was what looked to be a rather normal city. Skyscrapers stretched into the sky, sidewalks extended down the road he had slammed into, homes and apartment buildings littered the area, trees soaked in the sunlight, and even people screaming as they ran in fear from the raining spaceships.
Very human-looking people.
Renso had said that the inhabitants were 'Saiyanoid,' but they were really Saiyanoid. As in, they looked exactly like normal humans.
Gray blinked, glancing around as a loud noise rang out in the city. It sounded like a blaring siren, and he assumed it was some type of alarm.
They have a genuine civilization here.
Compared to Vargon, whose only civilization was underground dwarves and giants that Gray had never seen, and Yardrat whose civilizations were only somewhat human-like, Harro could've passed for an alternate reality Earth.
"Be ready to fight," Gray glanced to his side as Celia climbed out of her own pod, which had landed only a dozen or so feet away from his own. While Gray's was in the middle of a road, Celia's was on the sidewalk, and some of the other pods were crashing directly into the towering buildings.
"I assumed so," Gray nodded, as the loud siren was a pretty big giveaway, "Do they have a police force here or somethin'? What's the siren doing?"
"They have…" Celia blinked, looking a bit surprised at her own words, "Heroes. They have something called heroes."
Heroes?
Gray mimicked her action, turning to her as he blinked in surprise, "What? The hell does that mean?"
Celia just shrugged unhelpfully, pointing at a lady running away, "No idea, but that woman is terrified that the heroes won't arrive in time."
Right, her ability can't just explain everything.
"Gray! Took you long enough!" Gray turned his head, looking up as Caulifla came rocketing down at him from the sky above. She landed next to him, glaring at him lightly.
"How come you guys got to land in a place like this?" She wrinkled her nose, "I'm gonna kick the ass of whatever bastard set up my ships route."
"Where'd you land?" Gray raised an eyebrow at her.
"Water," Caulifla deadpanned, "I hate swimming, and there was a bunch of annoying fish people!"
Fish people? This planet has heroes and fish people?
"Did Kale land already?" Gray asked, glancing around the city as the rest of his team was landing and stepping out of their pods.
It'd be best to act before this planet's defense force can prepare themselves, but we need to be prepared too.
Gray would rather not go on the offensive with his team and leave Kale alone, even if he thought the girl would probably be fine.
"I don't know, I haven't seen her," Caulifla shrugged, "That annoying guy isn't here either…"
Gray raised an eyebrow at her, "Annoying guy? Wait, where's the rest of your team? Did they land in the same ocean?"
"Team?" Caulifla stared at him blankly.
…
"...Yeah, like, your squad for the mission," Gray repeated, and Caulifla continued to stare at him blankly.
"There's a reason even Father took note of her," Celia explained as Caulfila stared at him blankly, "She took every exam throughout every class in the academy alone."
…Damn. That's kind of badass.
"So… there's no one to be in her team," Celia finished dryly, "The only person she talks to is Kale and another boy, who is in Kale's team. She came here alone."
"Why would I need help?" Caulifla looked genuinely confused as Celia explained, "Weak people just get in the way."
Harsh.
But she wasn't wrong. Even if Gray was partially glad to have teammates here with him, he would've rather most of them stayed on Planet Vegeta for their own safety.
"What's the plan?" Asuna called out behind Gray, approaching him as his other squadmates started to slowly head toward him.
"We wait for Kale," Gray decided. Harro was supposed to be one of the weaker planets in the coalition, so Gray wasn't too worried about whatever 'heroes' the alarm was calling.
With the two of us, it should be fine.
Even if Caulifla still wasn't the smartest of fighters, she was a monster. Combined with Gray, who could use his points at a moment's notice, they wouldn't have trouble against anyone.
So, Gray and his group literally just stood there as the city around them slowly emptied out. More human-looking people ran out of the buildings, sprinting in the opposite way of the group, and after roughly ten minutes the city was completely empty. Soon after, Kale finally arrived and landed on the street in front of the group, along with a certain boy.
Cabba.
[Humble] Cabba:
[Saiyan A-Class Recruit #1]
Age: 18
PL: 2,275,250,790
HP: 1,652,200/1,652,200
TKI: 1,820,700/1,820,700
TMP: 0
Reputation: 0/100 (Neutral)
[Humble] Modifier - Individuals with this modifier will be naturally humble, downplaying their own abilities.
The boy looked exactly how Gray remembered him, as he also didn't look very Saiyan-like despite his pretty high power level. He was thin and skinny, with barely any muscle on him at all. Despite his looks, he was still pretty close to Kale in strength at the moment.
Since Kale was promoted, he's the new rank 1 in A-Class.
Gray was glad to have another strong fighter with them, but…
"Where's the rest of your team?" Gray asked Kale as they landed. Kale turned, looking at him blankly.
I don't like where this is going-
"It's just him," Caulifla grinned, slapping Cabba a bit too hard on the back and causing him to stumble, "My Kale didn't need any teammates in the exams! This guy's only here because he doesn't have any friends and hangs around her too much!"
"I-I do have friends!" Cabba huffed unconvincingly.
"Oh, yeah? Then where are they?" Caulifla smirked.
"Why would they be here?! It's your friends who get put into your teams!" Cabba defended himself, "This just means you don't have any friends!"
"Don't need any," Caulifla didn't even try to deny it.
Great. Fuckin' great. Instead of three full squads of powerful Saiyans, we have one full squad and one tag-along.
Gray resisted sighing at the situation. He would've much rather had an extra twenty to forty Saiyans helping out instead of one Cabba, but at least the boy was pretty tough.
He's more useful than the majority of my team combined anyway, so I can't complain.
"O-Oh, right! It's nice to meet you, Gray!" Cabba stepped forward, grinning friendly at Gray, "I'm Cabba! I've heard a lot about you!"
Gray raised an eyebrow at him, "You have?"
Did I become famous or somethin'?
The mission on Earth was a pretty impressive feat, and he'd skipped straight to S-Class. Maybe word had gotten around about him-
"Caulifla and Kale can't stop talking about you," Cabba explained, instantly reversing Gray's thoughts.
Huh?
"I-I do not!" Kale stuttered out, blushing lightly.
"What? But you were just saying how nervous you were as we were heading here," Cabba said, naively misunderstanding Kale's denial, "You said something about how strong and handsome he was-"
"I-I did not!" Kale lashed out, slapping her hand over Cabba's mouth as she blushed heavily.
Damn, maybe I had a bigger impact on her than I thought.
"My Kale's got a crush, huh?" Caulifla smirked, casually slapping her on the back, "But now's not the time! We've got a mission to worry about!"
"What? But you said you were nervous about the mission too yesterday," Cabba dug his hole deeper as he pried Kale's hand off his mouth, "You were worried about performing well to impress Gray-"
Cabba was promptly punched through a wall. Literally - Caulfila casually slammed her fist into his face, sending him slamming through multiple buildings and causing them to crumble around his body.
"I didn't say that," Caulfila blushed lightly, then glared at Gray with a threatening tone, "I didn't say that. Got it?"
She totally said that.
"Sure," Gray smirked.
"D-Don't look at me like that! I didn't say anything like that!" Caulifla huffed, "If you don't believe me, then I'll kick your-"
"[JUSTICE CRASH!]"
Gray blinked as he felt a slight itch on his back. It was as if a bug had landed on him.
I don't think bugs yell like that, though.
As he glanced over his shoulder, he found out it was infact not a bug, but instead a bicycle. The thrower of said bicycle was standing in front of him in a fighting stance, glaring at him with narrowed eyes.
"Prepare yourself, monster!" The man shouted, pointing at him dramatically, "The top C-Rank hero is here! You're about to face…"
He grinned confidently, pointing a thumb at himself.
"Mumen Rider!"
