>>5285367"Hold on, I should ask the Rak'kari how soon they can mobilize as well." you <span class="mu-i">think</span> to him. "Having them mount an all-out offensive as I go on the attack, we might be able to completely wipe these Mindslayers out."
"That sounds like a good idea." B7 replies, you ending the mental link for a moment as you reach out to Meloka.
“Just got the call that the suit's done.” you tell her, raising your right hand to your forehead as you expand your ki sense. “So, I'm going to check in with the Rak'kari real quick and see how long it'll take them to assemble a fighting force to exterminate those Mindslayers.”
“Okay, be careful.” she replies, then almost as an afterthought adds, “You'd better wash up after before bed, I don't want to smell seawater all night.”
“Hahaha, understood.” you reply, and with a lock on the strongest ki signatutre amongst the Rak'kari's largest settlement, use your Instant Transmission to teleport away. One second you're standing inside your home ship, the next find yourself at the bottom of the sea, right in front of a giant Mindslayer! “SHIT!”
The beast's mouth widens as it lunges towards you, clearly intending to devour you. But that beast doesn't know what it's in for. Drawing your right fist back, you focus your ki and fire off a powerful Scattershot directly <span class="mu-i">into</span> it's mouth! The dozens of energy orbs all detonate inside the beast, exploding it's head and turning it into a red cloud. Without it's head the beast goes limp, drifting down to the sandy ground dead.
“WHA-Oh, it is you.” a mind links to yours, you turning and seeing the glowing shell of the Rak'kari champion standing behind you. “Greetings, land dweller. You possess impeccable timing.”
“Thanks. And speaking of timing, my suit is ready.” you <span class="mu-i">think</span> to him. “So I am ready to wage war on those things. How soon can your people be ready to attack?”
“Immediately.” he replies, then after a moment adds. “However, if you were to give us around ten hours, we could bring our full might to bear.”
“Then I'll see you again in ten hours.” you reply, bringing your right hand back to your forehead and focusing on Meloka's ki vanish once more. Reappearing inside your ship's showers, Meloka tilts her head while washing Okira's hair. You give her a shallow nod, then extend your mind back out to B7. “Just spoke with their champion, we have ten hours until go time. So I'll see you guys then.”
