Cayle Pota, son of Pota Potaset, was a hard worker. Despite that, he had enjoyed his vacation with Tiger Lily in Pilaf Land, and when the basic amount of vacation time was done, he had focused hard to get the branch restaurants for Taco King open in the area and help the workers who had relocated to help manage the restaurant, as well as train the new employees they had hired from Pilaf Land at least.
It was none the less something that had taken a lot of his effort in the past day, and with the fifth of such restaurants now finished being cleaned, prepped, and trained, he headed to his hotel room and showered before checking his phone to see where Tiger Lily was and to see if she wanted to meet up and do something while they were still in the general area of Pilaf Land and technically still had active tickets in the area.
He noticed a text from Tiger Lily about her plans and her location, and he left the hotel room after dressing to go shopping. A few hours later, and he was flying towards the location which Tiger Lily had sent the location of, with denim jeans, work boots, a flannel jacket, an utility belt filled with hoi poi capsules to use for tools or ready made buildings for the project that Tiger Lily had. Cayle had also went out of his way to find the legal owner's of the location and convince them to allow him to buy the area from them. Deed with Tiger Lily, Cayle, Konja, and Achido's names on them he flew towards the location at the greatest speed as he could, and when he got there, he simply examined this strange tree which seemed to be generating a power level signature on its own. Could trees be alive on this planet? Had Tiger Lily dug into the tree? It didn't feel like her spiritual energy anyways, or Achido's, so he was not sure about it.
“Hey, sorry it took me so long. Had to finish up setting up the five Taco King locations in Pilaf Land and then go shopping for supplies to build this into a proper vacation home of sorts.”
Whatever it was to have a 'vacation home', he knew that Earthlings seemed to possess them, or at least some did, and that it was something that this would technically classify as because they all lived in the South City area or the Southern Islands at large at least.

Achido Nakamura couldn't have been happier to have Ty as his best friend, she has always kept him on the right track and made sure that he continued to train. With the pressure of his father's dojo and his mother's strict rules, Achido felt it was best to get away for awhile. It was all so much and very stressful. Sure, his parents were upset and worried about their son, but the teenager seemed to be doing very well with the guidance of Ty. Their friendship seemed to be a solid one, one that would last an eternity.
As the red headed woman spoke to him about detecting her power level, Achido slowly gave her a nod before responding. "I can feel it every single time I think about you. Your energy..It gives me hope because I know you're still out there." He said in a soft tone, before switching his attention to the beautiful treehouse that Ty had basically built on her own. There was a moment of silence before Ty explained to Achido about Uncle Toad Lily and how they almost met the teenager's parents. "Maybe it is a good thing you didn't tell them about it, because my mother and father would never let me leave the house again!!" He responded, while putting his attention back to the teal eyes of Ty.
Flying was something that Achido desperately wanted to learn, so when Ty began to give him his first lesson, he smiled wide because he was finally focusing on himself for the first time in awhile. "Sky Dance Art?" He let out a small chuckle, before continuing to listen to every word from Ty. When she suggested to hold her hand, he did just that, then closed his eyes, and began to focus upon the ki within his body. His breathing was slowing down and his mind was beginning to clear of all thoughts.
The feeling Achido was getting inside his stomach was almost enough to make him sick, but he shook it off and let his ki flow through his body, until it finally reached the bottom of his feet. Just as the teenager was slowly lifting himself off the ground, a very familiar ki signature came near them both, causing the human to open his eyes and land back to the ground, before he could even lift off. It was Cayle and Achido was unsure how to feel since their last meeting, but he wasn't going to change who he was because of some skirmish they had.
The teenager looked to the saiyan and smiled wide. "Cayle!! Wait...You own Taco King?! The Taco King Platter is my favorite and every time I hang out with Konja, she makes sure to hook me up with one. I sure am glad you're here, though!" He called out with such a new excitement, ignoring the fact that he was disrupted from learning how to fly.

“Ah! You did it Achido! You can fly.” Ty released his hands and clasped her own so he could try again without her help but then Cayle arrived which made her look in his direction with a grin. “Hi there! You took so long I was worried you weren’t coming. The tree house is mostly built if you want to inspect it! Achido and I did our best. Also, there is still roasted bird raptor if you’re hungry, I seasoned it myself, there is tons more on the cliffside being their nesting grounds. Maybe we can make a coop next and keep some of them?”
Tiger Lily continued to clean up the picnic area which was nearly done, handing Cayle a clean plate so he can help himself to the roast with serrated knife magnetized to the spit to carve himself a wing or breast, and took the rest of the used picnicware up towards the treehouse to wash in the sink but realized the plumbing was not done yet. Leaving the used dishes in the sink she flew over towards the shipping container on the ground to pull out the copper tubing inside to run up the tree. The orange haired teen did not recall a source of water besides the ocean along the way and wondered if they needed to dig a well to pump water out of or have a water silo that they refilled from a nearby source.
“So what do you think guys, we are strong enough to carry a water silo that should have a month’s supply of water for all of us, or should we try to dig for a well? What kind of building supplies did you bring, Cayle?”

Cayle Pota, son of Pota Potaset, took in the sight of the roughshod tree house and thought for a moment it looked like the sort of thing which would appear in a fantastical children's book such as he had read to Nalta and the other children who were apart of his loose tribe of refugee Saiyans. None the less, it had potential he supposed, but would need work in places and definitely would need things to help prepare it to work independently from other things. Otherwise they would likely return to the treehouse later and find it filled with some sort of wild animals.
With his icy blue eyes turning from their critical assessment of the treehouse's basic works, he then turned to Achido and gave a simple, rather curt nod. “Well, I do kind of. I'm the vice-president of Taco King, and own shares, but I still answer to the actual owner and Chief Executive Officer, Alfonso De La Reyes. He just hooked me, Konja, and a few others of our...” he struggled for a word there, tribe was not entirely true, clan was overestimating, group was too noncommittal. “Tribe of Saiyans who are refugees from the Tuffle Science Executive. It really helped with our survival in this world and independence from handouts from others.”
Then he turned to Tiger Lily, and the smell of food, and helped himself to some of this raptor bird, not bothering with a plate for a moment, and instead simply ripping the leg off of the body, using it's foot as a handle as he tore into the bird and slipped his backpack off, as well as emptied his pockets. In his backpack were several stacks of hoi poi capsules, and so were there several packs of hoi poi capsules in his emptied pockets. The Hoi Poi Capsules generally listed things such as what was in them, by category and including things such as 'power tools', 'regular tools', 'instant warehouses', 'wind power generator parts', 'steel panels', 'concrete bags', 'electric fences', 'elevator winches', 'concrete mixers', 'solar panels', 'shovels, pickaxes, axes and buckets', 'pipes', and even 'books and blueprint papers'.
He let them look over the stuff he had brought as he ate, then tilting his head for a moment. “Does that tree have spiritual energy?” Earth continued to be a confusing place when and where it wanted to be. “Anyways, I brought this stuff so we have a place to store things, the warehouses, so we have tools to build this up into a proper bastion and safe house for us. I also took the liberty of buying the land it is on and the land around it, even down to the cliffs and the ocean below, so people won't just show up and take advantage of our stuff.”
Then he went back to tearing into the raptor, finding it delicious and that he was a lot more hungry than he had thought he was. Also finding it, at least a little- like something he would have ate back on Planet Plant along with his family. They would have probably even cooked it on a spit.
“I also figured we should use the solar panels and wind power generators, maybe also wave power generators if we find we have the materials to build them, to power the place. We can dig a pair of wells to draw up fresh water from the ground, and make a system which uses the power pulled from the surroundings to pull up the water via vacuum pressure to get us fresh drinking water, showering water, and if we want, irrigation water.”
It was not exactly where he planned to build his own people their settlement, but the practice that he, Tiger Lily, and Achido got in from building this would provide a lot of help in building the stronghold for his people where ever they built in in the South Islands.

For a moment, Achido had thought he was being ignored. Not because of the responses he got, but because he felt so insignificant compared to Cayle and Ty. This would only mean that Achido would have to pick up the slack and continue with his training. He was so far behind, that it may take the teenager a few years to catch up in strength, but with the right push and motivation, Achido could become something more respected.
As soon as Ty finished talking about possibly building a coop for the Raptors, Achido stepped forward and gave the two a slight wink. "That's a job I can handle, no problem!" The teenager wasn't up for killing the creatures, so building a nice coop for them would make it easier for Ty and Cayle to do their dirty work. It wasn't easy for Achido to be a scared punk in front of Ty, but the whole hunting thing just wasn't for him. Catching them? Maybe, but the killing would be up to the others.
With Cayle mentioning the other things needed to finish up their stronghold, Achido stood nearby listening to everything they had to say. This was all new to the teenager, so he just went along and tried to help out the best he could, that is exactly why he had taken the time to build a nice coop for the Raptors, while Ty and Cayle were busy finishing off the other things needed for the stronghold.

While Achido took the care to build a coop, Tiger Lily stole some raptor eggs, doing her best to remain hidden on the cliffs until she returned to the treehouse construction site. In no time at all, her best friend completed building the coop with the extra materials Cayle brought, even the roof was an entire solar panel to store more energy, and provide the electricity for the heat lamps for each nest station. The orange haired teenage girl placed an egg in each nest for a grand total of ten turning on heat lamps over each one. The coop was like a small house, properly insulated, and a camera was installed that would provide live footage of the nests to her c-phone to monitor the progress. She instructed both Achido and Cayle how to watch for the eggs on their own devices in case one of them was closer to the coop by the time the baby bird-raptors hatched. It was exciting to know that they would soon be able to domesticate raptors of their own to harvest more eggs and meat from. It was a science project that was better than reading in books.
It was nightfall by the time the water well was dug up and set up to connect with a water heater kept in a shed next to a different tree, the copper pipes were kept underground and bolted to the tree that gave off its own spirit energy. The exhausted teens rested in their own rooms that evening after a job well done.
