"Looks like you three will be facing a lot of prison time. Couldn't say I envy your position at the moment, but it probably won't be that bad. You do get a free roof over your head as well as three free meals a day after all," Oliver stated while attempting to wipe the sweat off of his face. He was wearing a blue tank-top and green boxer trunks but the sun still managed to annoy him with it's heat. He was looking forward at three men laying down on the sidewalk that he had to beat up in order to stop their criminal activity. After a few minutes of making sure they didn't go anywhere, the cops came and took Oliver's place. They cuffed them up and stuffed them into one of the cop cars to be taken to the nearest police department.
"I suppose that is enough crime fighting for the day. Time to live a little. This is a really lively city after all," Oliver said to himself before taking off into the skies. The streets of South Capitol were too crowded, so he wouldn't dare walk through them. Not like he walked anywhere lately, but this traffic ensured that he would keep to his recent travel method. There were plenty of people flying, but not enough to cause a slowdown, which was a good thing. Oliver would hate it if he was restricted just like the grounders were.
During his mission to spot something interesting to do, Oliver thought about whether he should accept another request that wasn't combat-oriented. Even doing something trivial for someone these days could net a person a ton of Zeni. Then again, he did enjoy spending time away from his work. It had it's good moments, but nothing was better than just enjoying life in his opinion. Just for curiosity's sake however, Oliver took out his phone to see his latest requests. There were a few jobs that peaked his interest, and since the clients stated that they didn't have to be done right away, the young man would keep a look out for them after he was done chilling out.
Oliver found himself flying to a nearby park, descending down to the beginning of the location's walkway. This time he decided to actually use his feet so that he could enjoy the scenery. While the martial artist walked through the grassy field dotted with trees, he spotted children playing with each other and their pets, adults also playing some games to get some exercise in, elderly people feeding the ducks, etc. It was such a neat sight for him to see since he loved to see people happy. After a while he would try to interact with a few others himself.

"So what is this called?"
"Ramen, good sir, do you like it?"
"Meh"
Rafar lazily selected a particularly good looking piece from the dish in front of him. He didn't seem to notice or care that the shop keeper was completely terrified, visibly shrinking back every time his tail swished towards him, retreating as soon as he could. Rafar had just found a place in the park that was quiet enough that people didn't scream in terror to every 5 seconds. Like seriously, Rafar knew that sayians had killed hundreds of people, but could they at least consider that every one wasn't bad?
He was currently eating on a windswept stone table approximately 5 meters to Oliver's right, right at the epicenter of an area that people wouldn't cross, sometimes even turning right back around to avoid the Sayian warrior. If Oliver was concerned about the populace, he might notice the people's terrified expressions.

As Oliver walked through the stone path of the park, he noticed that there weren't as many people around this area as there were in all of the others. It was then that he glanced to his right to see a boy attempting to walk forward, only to see him look at a man sitting on a stone table and then instantly turn back. Oliver was wondering why he was scared of the guy, when he saw a tail sticking out of his back. 'Ah, that is why people won't come near here. I didn't think there were that many racists in the city," he thought to himself as he walked towards the stranger, taking a seat on the table that was across from him. The red-head gave a smile to the man, then held his right hand out in the hopes of shaking the man's hand.
"Hello there! I see that you are accidentally causing a stir in the park. Don't blame yourself though, since a lot of us humans can be easily scared of someone just because of their race. I was taught to accept everyone however, so you don't have to worry about sending me away," Oliver explained to the man. "I have only ever seen saiyans in history books, so this is an exciting event if I do say so myself, sir. Maybe if I was able to be anywhere but my home island for the first 18 years of my life, that would have changed. Maybe not though, if saiyans on Earth is a really rare thing?" Oliver continued to speak. "Sorry if I am being annoying, but I just love talking to others," he explained.
Ever since he was a child Oliver has been told that he talks too much, and should tone it down a bit. He never listened though, always finding something to talk about, whether it was relevant to the conversation or not.

Rafar was savoring his delicious meal when a red-haired human walked up to him and starting mouthing off about Sayians and the world in general. Rafar glanced at the male, noting his swagger and the small signs that marked a ki-fighter. A quiet sigh escaped his lips, the sad thing, at least in Rafar's opinion, was that, most Earthlings were this annoying. Well that or they tried to kill him, and when he thought about it, both types of encounters were pretty annoying.
"If I am causing a stir by eating, maybe humans should be less racist about aliens, less people would try to kill them then."
He would quietly continue to eat, his tail flicking back and forth in slight annoyance at the male's constant blabbering. He would reluctantly shake Oliver's hand and return to his meal, for the moment ignoring the human's speech. Rafar was normally an easygoing individual, but right now he was trying to eat his meal in peace.
"Hey you! I'll take another bowl please!"
"Coming right up sir!"
In the meantime, Rafar would just let the human run his mouth dry, wondering what he could possibly want to talk about next.

Oliver was excited when Rafar accepted his handshake. To him, it meant that he wasn't impeding on the man's privacy, but instead being welcomed by him, regardless of the slight hesitance in the shake at first. After Rafar ordered another bowl of Ramen, Oliver continued to ramble on.
"I agree with you on that one. I believe that all races of the universe should just learn to get along. Life would be easier that way, but alas, that likely won't happen anytime soon, if at all," Oliver replied to the saiyan. No matter how much he despised the fact that people had to be looked down upon just because of their body features, this negative way of thinking won't just disappear in a lot of people's minds.
"So, are you staying on Earth for awhile, or is this just a vacation? I myself might take a journey to one of the Saiyan planets one day, if only to test my strength against their strongest since your race is known for their sheer power. Speaking of which, I am a martial artist in case you haven't noticed. My next martial art to master will be boxing," Oliver went on, needing to catch his breath before he spoke again. "Are you a fighter like most of your kind? Or are you traveling a different path? My name is Oliver by the way. Yours?" the red-head forgot to give out his name in his introduction, so the best time to do so was now, better than never.
Realizing that he asked three questions before he even let the man answer any of them, Oliver stopped talking and waited.

Was the red-head human still talking?! Rafar was growing more and more annoyed as the human continued to ramble on about whatever came into his mind, asking multiple questions without even giving him time to respond. Gritting his teeth, Rafar finished his second bowl of ramen, slamming a few coins into the table with enough force to make the stone crack.
"I am currently stranded on Earth, since my spacepod is broken beyond repair. Also, I think you would need to to get much stronger before you traveled to Vegeta, most of the weaker warriors there could probably snap you like a twig."
Rafar began to walk slowly away, assuming Oliver would follow him and continue to ask questions. Maybe if he could lure him out of the city, they could spar, he needed something to work off his lunch. The civilians parted before him like a wave breaking on the shore, some even stumbling into puddles along the side of the path. Rolling his shoulders, he would continue,
"Boxing is a Earthling sport right? Kind of seems simplistic fighting style for ki users, but I guess that is your choice. I am indeed a warrior if you couldn't tell by my armor." He would gesture to his battle armor and continue, "My name is Rafar, and I wonder if you would like to spar?"
Hopefully moving to a different topic would give Oliver a chance to breathe. Rafar doubted it though, the human liked to talk.

Oliver noticed slight anger from Rafar since he slammed his hand on the table with zeni in it harder than he had to, making the stone crack a bit. The fact that he didn't directly tell the talkative human to leave him alone meant that he probably didn't want to cause unnecessary conflict, or deep inside he really wanted to hang with him. Either way, Oliver wouldn't budge until he heard the words from the guy's mouth. They wouldn't come anytime soon however since the questions that the red-head laid out for him to answer were indeed answered.
Rafar was stranded on earth due to his space pod being broken, so he had no way to get back to his home planet. A planet of which he then stated would be too much of a match for Oliver at that current point in time. Apparently most of the saiyans would most likely take him out with ease. That the fighter did not doubt, since he knew he was generally weaker than thousands of earth soldiers. That being the case, what good would he do against veteran warriors on Vegeta?
Rafar began to move away from the table, walking forward. Oliver followed, wondering where he was going, but didn't exactly need to know right away. Rafar commented that boxing seemed simplistic for ki users. While Oliver agreed, he still wanted to learn it, hopefully being able to implement his own style with it. The dark-haired male then answered that he was a warrior. Someone could tell by his armor if they were familiar with that brand, which Oliver was not. Finally, Rafar gave Oliver his name and then asked if he would like to spar with him.
"Of course I would! I haven't physically trained my body in a few days if you don't count minimal exercise," Oliver replied with excitement.

As Rafar had predicted, Oliver had followed at his heels, agreeing to his request for a spar. Rafar smiled, his heart-rate increasing somewhat. He hadn't had enough battles yet since his strength had increased, and he was excited to see the results of his training.
Rafar sprinted through the outskirts of the city, stopping approximately a mile away. He didn't want to reinforce the bad opinion that the residents already had of him, he still wanted food from there! Rafar would then turn towards the human and say:
"Ok, here are the rules. No killing or maiming is allowed, obviously. Weapons like swords are allowed if you want, but you must blunt them with your aura. If someone is knocked out or submits, they lose. Any questions?" As far as he was concerned, battle needed as few rules as possible in order to be enjoyable. The killing or maiming rule was just a courtesy really, you needed to do whatever was necessary to win a fight.
Assuming Oliver accepted, Rafar would nod and fall into his fighting pose. He would set his right foot in slightly front of his other, his hands in front in fists. Rafar's fighting style has advanced through trial and error, as well as observing the fighters he has met so far. He decides to let the human have the courtesy of attacking first, it might give him an advantage but Rafar really doesn't care

After a few minutes of walking through the city, Rafar decided to sprint across it with Oliver matching his speed. They soon stopped after they were one mile outside of South Captiol. The two of them were in a grassy clearing with dozens of trees dotting the area. It was a decent fighting arena in Oliver's opinion. Rafar went over the rules to ensure a safe fight, which the red-head nodded to. He wasn't a fan of injuring his opponents too much, and he was especially against killing unless he absolutely needed to.
Oliver got into the iconic upright boxing stance with his left arm and leg taking the lead. After a few days of practicing getting into it, the young male assumed that he finally did it right this time. For the fight he would attack only using techniques from boxing as training, no matter how much he felt like using his legs or ki attacks as well. During the past few days, not being able to use them was hell for the martial artists. He was taught to use every part of his body and his ki energy during a fight after all, but it was a discipline that he needed to learn if he was to master this new style.
It seemed that Rafar was giving Oliver the chance to take the first shot, so he wasn't going to waste this chance. He was a few meters away from the enemy, but now was the time to close that distance with a dash. After the dash it would put the human just about a foot away from Rafar. He threw a cross, which was a straight punch. He thrusted his right shoulder forward which sent his right hand towards the target's face. Due to this it forced his right hand to leave his chin and face which left them unguarded, but his left hand was retracted to take it's place. For additional power, his torso and hips were rotated counter-clockwise as the punch was thrown.

Apparently the human wasn't kidding about the boxing, falling into the stance Rafar had studied from the data he had "acquired" during the first few days on the planet. The style was effective, but wasn't fast enough to keep pace with the fast-pace styles ki-users usually employed.
The human didn't take long to react to Rafar's obvious invitation, launching a rather heavy punch directly at his face. Kind of rude of he was being honest. It didn't even seem like Oliver had taken any effort to conceal his movements, his body language practically giving him a seminar on the human's next move. Sighing, Rafar swayed to the left attempting to grab the human's arm as it shot past him. If he was successful, he would add to Oliver's momentum by pulling him forward and aiming a heavy elbow at the human's face. With the human's current mometum, this would do a lot of damage.

Rafar dodged the punch by swaying to the left. Using his hands he pulled Oliver's hands forward, then let go last second to elbow him in the face. Luckily, Oliver had his left hand guarding his face, so the elbow connected with that. At the last second the red-head collected his ki energy and focused some of it into his arm to guard the blow perfectly. Oliver then stepped to the right to get back within range, fixed his stance and then went for a jab-jab-cross combo this time to the opponent's body. A jab was a quick straight punch thrown with the lead hand. After two of those, a cross following would surely cause lots of pain.
"Nice elbow, but you should have expected that my left hand could take it, heh," Oliver added while throwing his punches, still smiling. He was already having fun with this fight even though only a few seconds had passed. The boxer was hoping that he could try out a ton of the techniques that he learned over the past few days. Seeing that this probably wouldn't be an easy fight, it would be the perfect chance to test his true power.

Oliver effectively countered his half-hearted attack with a simple ki-empowered block. He seemed proud of the accomplishment, unaware that Rafar wasn't even warmed up yet. He quickly deflected the jabs that the human launched at him, caught the cross-punch that always ended the combo with his bare right hand. Smirking, he would say:
"Nice try, but your moves are to predictable to be successful. The fact that I'm superior to you doesn't help the matter either." Really, this fight reminded him of fights with his father when he was a kid, his parent always three steps ahead of him. He could end this fight right now, but there wasn't any point in hurting the human's ego.
He would then aim a heavy punch at Oliver's stomach, hopefully making him double over. If this was successful, he would initiate a series of blows designed to launch Oliver into the air. This would be followed by Rafar flying behind the human and attempting a double axe-handle to send Oliver back to Earth. If his surprise attack was unsuccessful, he would attempt a spin kick at Oliver's head followed by a barrage of ki blasts.

Oliver thought he had Rafar, but the saiyan deflected his jabs and caught his cross, stopping him right in his tracks. After that Rafar began to talk about how Oliver's attacks were too predictable, and that he was superior to the red-head. He then threw a successful heavy punch at Oliver's stomach, making the young man stagger backwards. Too stunned to do anything, a barrage of punches sent the boxer into the air. Shortly after that, a double axe handle sent him back down to earth.
Oliver laid in the crater that his body created upon falling to the ground fast and hard. He felt pain all over his body now, but he felt that he was still able to fight, so he got up slowly but surely, then got back into his upright stance, motioning for Rafar to come at him. You could see in the fighter's face that he was struggling to keep up the facade of confidence.
"It isn't over until one of us is down and out, right? Well, that one won't be me anytime soon at the least, heh," Oliver smiled at the enemy above him.

Rafar straightened after delivering the axe-handle, and watched the human hit the ground, feeling a little curious. He wasn't sure if the human would have the strength or willpower to get back up after a combo like that, let alone survive it. As abrasive as he seemed to be, he didn't want to kill the human, it would completely ruin his reputation.
It seemed like both of his questions were answered as the human struggled to his feet. Quite a feat for Oliver, he didn't seem like he had been a ki-user for very long. He called out a confident challenge to the Sayian hovering above, but one could easily see that he didn't have much fight left in him. "If you feel you can continue, that is your choice, though I doubt you have the strength to withstand another combo like that, let alone a ki attack." Rafar would touch down about 2 meters from Oliver, watching the human carefully. "If we do continue, I will no longer pull my punches like the last time. This could be a bluff on my part, but I dare you to call it." He brushed some non-existent dust off his gloves, waiting for the human's reaction.

Rafar descended and then began to speak about how he doubted that the boxer had the strength to take another heavy combo, then warned that he would no longer pull his punches. Since he was a saiyan, Oliver didn't believe that he was bluffing one bit, but he was still going to keep going.
"Alright, no more talking. Let's continue," the red-head stepped into range as fast as he could, which wasn't as fast as he usually could go since he was injured. This time the fighter launched a left hook to the enemy's face and then would follow up with an uppercut to his stomach whether the hook would connect or not.
