“I like the enthusiasm, General Karn. But you've still got a ways to go, until you're ready for that.” he says with a seemingly-genuine smile. “Master that power you plan to face Lord Beerus with, then we'll talk about this again. Until then.”
And without another word he leaves, portal closing behind himself and his group. The rest of the visit passes without incident, you and everyone returning to your own timeline. Time continues marching ever-onward, you spending time with your family at your home, training them up as well as your students. You also visit regularly with your son back on Planet Yardrat, his family always happy to see you. Especially your granddaughter, who always leaps directly at your chest. But four months into the year, after finishing training with your students for the day, suddenly you feel a massive surge of power. Or, rather, two surges of immense power.
“What the-?” you mutter, turning towards the familiar energies surging higher and higher than anything you've ever felt from them. You and Meloka trade a glance, you then raising your right hand to your forehead as she rushes over, you teleporting just as she touches you. Leaving the training area behind, you reappear right beside King Vegeta, already in his primal form as he stands across from two warriors. Each with pale fur and hair, crimson glowing eyes, and menacing, wolfish grins on their faces. “Well well, look at you. Looks like the two of you finally managed to pull it off.”
“Karn.” Leyas says, you seeing his muscles tense as he takes his fighting stance. “I've been waiting for this day.”
“I've spent more than a decade trying to surpass you once again, and today's finally the day!” Sarada declares, taking her stance as well. You power up into your Ascended Berserker form, dropping down into your own fighting stance as you stare down your longtime friends in their new, strongest forms. They resemble your half-demon son Maza, except for their more Saiyan colored skin tones as lightning crackles around them. Yet you don't feel worried, or afraid, or cautious of having to hold back this time. You've also been waiting for the day you could spar with your friends at full power as well, just like when you were kids. And as you three blast off the ground at each other, you can't help but to let out a laugh, charging forward to see the true depths of your friends' newfound strength. This is going to be fun!
