“I have five minutes, what's going on?” he replies, your wife touching your arm. As she does, focusing on the king of the Saiyans' ki through the link, you teleport directly to him. Leaving this planet and its abnormally light gravity behind. Only to appear in the king's throne room, Vegeta sitting his throne with his son in his lap. “Karn, Meloka. You both look... Exhausted. Was your mission today really so exhaustive?”
“Where to begin?” you reply, quickly relaying what all happened, as well as what Fu told you with your wife interjecting a few times. And after a couple minutes you've told him everything, the king looking worried. “But we got her people out and to their planet in this time, Mechikabura and Aeos merging them with this timeline.”
“I see, well done. But we have a problem.” he replies, you immediately feeling a bit worried. “About a month ago, I received a telepathic communication from Raditz of all people. You were unresponsive, so I dispatched Bardock, Leyas, Sarada, and whoever they brought along to investigate. And I just got their report back.”
Suddenly a chill crawls up your spine, you and your wife sharing a worried, knowing glance.
“They arrived on the planet Raditz and Redis had, until recently it seems, inhabited. However, there were no signs of life on the planet whatsoever. No one sentient was left alive, and, even more disturbingly, what happened to Raditz' home.” he says, then, after glancing down to his son and whispering something to him, Vegeta V places his hands over his ears. Which was superfluous, as King Vegeta then reaches back out to you both telepathically to finish his news. “Redis is dead.”
Images of a ghastly scene appear in your mind through the link, dried blood on the walls, covering the floor and had been dripping off the ceiling until it hardened. Her body looks as if it were detonated from the inside, as if something vengeful tore its way out from within her.
“What about their kid?” Meloka asks, aloud and not telepathically. “Is their child alright?”
“Unknown.” Vegeta replies, raising a hand and rubbing his eyes. Which look tired, heavy bags under them as he speaks wearily. “Raditz himself was not among the dead of that world either, as far as we can tell. I fear that monster has somehow returned, retaken control over one of our own and fled to who knows where to prepare.”
