Chi-chi pats you on the head softly. “Glad to help, Izzy. Good luck out there.”
You nod, and return to the waiting area as your copy merges back with you. You see Krillin and Nappa walking back as well, while Nox and Ledgic head over to Mugen. The Machine Mutant congratulates them on their victory, then turns his attention to the defeated fighters. You pop up next to them before Mugen can say anything, though.
“I think a lot of people here were underestimating the kind of teamwork you two were able to pull off, but I’d say you’ve proven them wrong. That was great! Even with your foes pulling out some pretty tricky techniques, neither of you backed down, and both of you had each other’s backs.”
Nappa regards you with doubt. “I know you’re tryin’ to cheer us up a bit, kid, but I don’t think it’ll take. They had us beat pretty thoroughly.”
You rub the back of your neck. “I mean… can’t deny that, but you both were still sticking out for one another until the end. That’s a bit more than I can say about the teamwork someone like… oh… Vegeta pulled off.” you reply in a quieter voice.
Krillin smiles. “Heh, that’s true. Vegeta did kinda need some verbal warnings from Tien, and even then he didn’t really listen. You though? You and I were in sync the whole time.”
The slight melancholy on Nappa’s face fades. “You know what? I’ll take it. Thanks, kid.”
You give them both a thumb’s up, then look over to Mugen. He seems… curious about your little statement there, but otherwise nonplussed. Nox though still has an unsettling look on his face, smug yet weirdly… appreciative? “I look forward to whatever else you have in store.”
“Yyyyyyou too buddy.” You give him a double thumb’s up and move back to Pantea. You know… maybe he isn’t actually like, all that evil? Just… a bit of a battle nut. Ledgic is still giving off pretty disgruntled vibes, and you keep noticing him glaring over at Maple, but Nox is at the very least fighting… honorably, honestly.
Well, things to think on later. Your and Pantea’s match against dad and aunt Maple is next! And you’re all in this to win it!
