Raiden had thought King Chappa's training would be different from Master Roshi's and in a way he was right. At first, they focused mainly on his form and movement as Chappa slowly introduced him to martial arts. Shift your right foot two inches, raise your hands diagonally 1 in, Raiden was surprised at how passionate Chappa was about his teachings. They had been training and teaching each other for a month and Raiden had improved massively.

Little did he know Chappa was just as surprised at how quickly and furiously Raiden was absorbing information and techniques. He was like a sponge as he advanced through the martial art styles that Chappa practiced, the multi-arm technique. In fact, you could already see a phantom hand appear when Raiden stuck out.

Raiden knew that in the end the number of hands that you could make appear didn't have anything to do with technique, it was just based on how fast the individual was. If he remembered correctly one of King Piccolo's minions had killed king Chappa and mocked him by using 100 phantom hands when he did it.

Still, the technique wasn't without its uses. It let him strike out efficiently when he attacked, learning how to target an opponent's vital points while he did so.

Still, there were parts that Chappa couldn't teach him, his way of martial arts focused on the arms and precise striking, what Raiden needed the most right now was a way to evade attacks.

Although he hated to admit it, his biggest weakness right now was his weak body. If he could create distance between him and who he was fighting he would be able to use his ki to attack from range. But from close up, he was no different than an average 10-year-old.

'No not an average 10-year-old,' he thought. Even though he had had only 1 month of training even he could tell he was advancing at an astounding pace. Chappa seemed more and more surprised almost every day and his once sloppy and horrible battle sense had quickly improved through constant spars with Chappa.

Even though he lost those spars handily, mostly because Chappa had told him not to use Ki, for the sake of 'training'.

Of course, he was not the only one improving, he had started to teach Chappa how to use his ki and while his pace wasn't as fast as Raiden's, he was still improving rapidly. Within a few days he could float, and now a month he could fly pretty easily, albeit nowhere near at the speed Raiden could.

It had been a little over 2 months after Raiden had started his training and he woke up at the usual designated time of 6 A.M to begin his routine for the day. As he walked to the training ground he noticed something was different.

Chappa was standing there as usual but there was a sickly sweet smile on his face that didn't suit his 6-foot frame.

"Good Morning Raiden, Good Morning," he greeted Raiden with a laugh.

Immediately he knew something was wrong, this was far too different from Chappa's usual stoic behavior.

"What are we doing today," asked Raiden bluntly.

The smile on Chappa's face only grew wider giving him a Joker-like expression.

"It's not what WE are doing today, it's what you are," Chappa said happily.

Raiden raised an eyebrow questioningly, whatever Chappa had planned he didn't like it.

'Bastard' Raiden couldn't help but curse Chappa again in his read as he ran as fast as he could while taking deep gasping breaths. Finally, he found cover as he dived behind a boulder and watched a stray dinosaur run past where he had been just a second ago.

He now knew why Chappa had been so happy when he says him this morning, he had a new type of training ready for him. Survival Training.

He had flown with Raiden west of the south capitol and dropped him off in a forest that stretched as far as the eye could see. He only had one goal and that was to stay for 5 months alone in the jungle and fend for himself.

Raiden had to admit it was a good way to deal with the aspect of evading your enemy he had told Chappa about, but he didn't have to be happy about it.

He had been in this godforsaken jungle for nearly 2 days and hadn't had anything to eat the whole time. He could have easily used ki to hunt and cook monster meat but noooo that would be far too easy Chappa had said.

He had been drinking water from rivers and streams that flowed through the forest but if he didn't find food soon he would be in trouble.

He trudged through the forest moving shrubbery and loose branches that were in the way. He was following a stream downhill hoping it would lead to a lake so he could find some easy food to catch. Of course, he had tried fishing in the streams but animes and mangas make it look much easier than it really was, and as soon had he managed to catch a fish in his hands it slipped out just as fast.

As he made his way through the forest he caught a whiff of something he couldn't ignore, cooked meat. He followed the scent through the forest until he found a small clearing surround a rocky outcrop.

When he stepped into the clearing he was greeted by a huge piece of meat hanging over a raging fire. The meat smelled pretty much cooked and his mouth couldn't help but water at the apparent meal that had just been handed to him on a platter.

As he used the multi-arm technique to cut off a piece of meat from the giant slab, he couldn't help but feel a sense of deja vu, as if he had seen this exact situation before.
