Toma had chossen Reedor for the test. It was a wild tropical jungle planet known for its beauty and unknown creatures. That was probobly why he picked it. They had no idea what animals or how strong they were. Also Toma could pick HOW they would be tested.
The four of them came out of thier pods. Toma, Mame, Goahn and Remon. They had landed in the center of a jungle and Gohan knocked some vines out of the way.
"Saru!" Toma shouted.
The three of them jumped into line. All wore their best and strongest armor today. They stood tall and waited for their orders.
"Each on of you have trained hard for this day." Toma said. "Fighting, reading and practicing for whatever challanges you may meet. I have placed 23 ice orbs on this planet. They willo melt in eight hours so you have seven to collect as many as you can and rep[ort back here. In the center of each orb in a tracking device your scounters are reprogramed to find. You boys are allowed to use any mean nessicary to get as many as you can even from each other. Who ever does gains the represenative seat." He met each one of their eyes. "Kaminari Rank."
Gohan took a deep intake of breath. He had spent all his life prepareing for this day. He read the book, studied the charts and pushed himself to his limits and beyond. He hoped it was enough.

Videl waited on the landing pad waiting for Gohan to land. The crew members called Washi Ranks had said the Saru Ranks had left Reedor and would be landing soon. She wqanted to be there either to congratulate or comfort him.
A tall female sayjin walked up to her. She wore purple armor with shoulder straps and no thigh pads. She blew at her short brown bangs and smiled. "You're Videl right?"
"Yes." she said hoping this girl wasn't going to pick a fight.
"I'm Pirrel a good friend of Gohans. And Mame mate." she said offering her hand. Videl shook it. "It's good to finaly meet the girl who was causing Gohan all that trouble."
Videl smirked. "We got things sorted out, Pirrel."
Pirrel smiled and looked up to the sky. "I can see that. say, how about the four of us all go out to celebrate once the boys get back. I know either Gohan or Mame will make Kaminari. What do you say?"
"Sounds like a lot of fun." Videl agreed.
"And if Remon makes it," Pirrel said grimacing. "we can beat the tar out of his skinny little ass."
The pair of girl laughed out loud as four pods came down to the landing stations and onto a cushion. They backed up a bit as the doors opened. Gohan and Mame piled out and Videl and Pirrel rushed to them. Videl hugged Gohan and Pirrel dove into Mames arms.
"How did you do? Are you alright? You didn't get hurt did you?" both girls asked a million questions at once.
"Calm down!" Gohan said. He took a deep breath. "I made it."
Pirrel and Videl let out a shout of joy.
"I'm sorry." Pirrel said to Mame still in his arms. "But Gohans the brains and your the muscule. I looooove muscule." She kissed him. Mame grinned and shrugged.
"Gohan," Toma said walking up. "Congrartulations again. Mame you came really close and I am proud you are still on my team. I'll see you all later."
"Come on." Pirrel said jumping out of Mames arms. "The four of us are going out to celebrate."
"Yes." Videl said. "All night if we can."
