>>6336674“Let's get to a high spot first, to scout out the battles.” you reply, leaping up to the nearest pile, then a taller one. Freeza following behind until you're both standing atop the central pillar which is well over halfway down now, but still by far the tallest point of the arena. First, you look to Chilli, where Doom is still in a retreat. Keeping his distance as he and your son throw magic back and forth. Beams of light and darkness, conjured golems made of the arena floor, bolts of lightning, walls of fire and ice, the two throwing all manner of spellcraft at each other. Yet Doom keeps his distance, not letting your son close in to striking distance with him. Perhaps trying to avoid his spectral, deathly wings' touch, the same wings that kill any magic that would hit your son before they can reach him.
“Seems your boy's doing well enough on his own, for now.” Freeza comments, arms crossed as he watches the battle unfold. “He's come quite a long ways, from that young boy nearly tortured to death by that damned clown.”
“Yeah. He's grown strong.” you say, watching him battle a moment longer before turning, switching your focus to your daughter Caulifla. Watching as she and her Stand, Divine Triumph Requiem stand over Dr. Rota and a small fairy-like creature the same size as himself. But as you watch, the winged fairy-seeming creature flies past Dr. Rota, and <span class="mu-i">impales</span> Divine Triumph Requiem with what looks like its giant needle. Pulling the plunger, and drawing the energy straight from it! Causing Caulifla's Stand to begin to fade, turning translucent as Caulifla's Ki fades as well. “Dammit, she's in trouble.”
“Go save your little girl, Karn. I'll stay up here and observe, for now.” he replies, his Stand appearing for a split-second just behind his shoulder. “Has your Dragon Force recovered yet?”
“Don't think so.” you reply, turning your focus to your right hand a moment. And try to summon forth your Stand, only for nothing to happen. “Seems Divine Dragon Force is still out of commission. But I don't have to fight that Stand to save her.”
Raising your right hand to your forehead, you use your Instant Transmission, focusing on Caulifla's ki. Which is plummeting as Dr. Rota's Stand draws more and more power out of her, Caulifla reverting back to her base form as she falls to her knees. Only for you to reappear just behind her, the Stand immediately pulling its needle free and flying back at Dr. Rota! Stabbing <span class="mu-i">HIM</span> in the chest with it, your eyes going wide in shock. Causing you to hesitate, giving the Stand the moment of time it needs to depress the plunger. And as it does, you realize your mistake, catching Caulifla as she collapses completely and leaping back as Dr. Rota's ki surges with the stolen power. Looks like this one's far more dangerous than you'd first thought.
