"Him?" she asks curiously, not understanding what you mean. “Him who?”
“Mechikabura.” you say telepathically, closing your eyes and sighing out. “He told me something worrying about Chaya.”
“What did he say?” she asks, also switching to telepathy as she sees the worry on your face. “Karn, what happened?”
“He warned me that, because of her arrogance, she's going to lose that big fight she has coming up.” you tell her, Meloka tilting her head in confusion. “And apparently, how I handle this will set the entire course of Chaya's life from that point forward. Her whole future will be decided by how I handle this.”
“Her entire future? By this?” Meloka asks, shaking her head. “That doesn't make any sense.”
“I know, one fight against her friend can change the entire course of her life? Its worrying though.” you say. “He did try and warn me something about intentions, but I woke back up before he could finish talking. I'm worried about Chaya.”
“She may be a bit arrogant, but she'll be fine.” your wife says aloud, floating up and kissing you once. “Maybe a loss will be good for her, and she'll abandon all that 'Champion' nonsense and come back home.”
“Maybe.” you reply, and go back to getting dressed. But as you go through your day, training focus with Broly, sparring the kids, teaching your students and spending a bit of time on your own training, your thoughts never stray far from your daughter Chaya. So as the day winds down, you decide to reach out to her telepathically and see what she's doing. “Hey kiddo. Everything going okay?”
“Oh hey! Yeah, it's great!” she replies enthusiastically. “We found out where those rust buckets came from, and I'm on my way there now! I should arrive in two days, then I can get them back for attacking our home!”
“I see.” you reply, remembering that Vox didn't want Chaya to know those ancient looking machines were his creations. All leading to that fateful showdown.
“Is everything okay? You seem kinda worried about something.” she then says, you sensing her worry for you through the mental connection. “Nothing bad happened while I was gone, did it?”
