“Broly?” your wife asks as King Vegeta flies away, headed back to the city in a blur. “He's on Planet Yardrat, with Kori.”
“Yardrat? Interesting.” you reply, reaching out telepathically. Not to Broly, but to his wife Kori. Knowing he might be in intensive training at the moment, and not necessarily wanting to interrupt. “Kori? This is Karn, is everything okay?”
“Oh, hello Karn. I take it your training went well?” she replies cheerily. But then, sensing your emotions continues. “We're fine here, did-did something happen?”
“Meloka and I were attacked by assassins, wanted to make sure everyone's fine.” you reply. “But also, want to check in with Broly. Is he available, or is he sequestered in his training?”
“Assassins? Well, I almost feel sorry for them.” she replies. “And yes, he's fine. Training with Elder Pybara at the moment. Do you want to talk to him?”
“Yes, I'll be right there.” you reply, not dropping the link as you address your wife. “I'm going to go see Broly, coming with?”
“Yes.” she answers, holding onto your arm as you focus on Koriand'r's ki through the telepathic link. Teleporting from New Salda to Planet Yardrat, appearing beside the very pregnant Kori as she's sitting beside the training field. Looking out over the spike pit, where you see your eldest adoptive son meditating atop one. His tail wrapped around the spike, first two fingers pressed together with his eyes closed. Transformed, but clearly working on controlling his Berserker powers. And as you appear, he speaks up. No doubt sensing your arrival.
“Mom. Dad.” he replies, you seeing Elder Pybara nearby as well, a calm, serene smile on his face. “Everything okay?”
“Just fine, your father and I just handled a few hundred assassins, nothing big.” your wife replies before you can, looking over your son wearing Yardratian clothes despite being transformed. “Still here, huh?”
“Yeah. Until I can better control it, better control of myself, I need to keep training.” he answers calmly, despite the vein bulging on his forehead a moment, fingers trembling. “I can't lose control like that again.”
