“I will.” she replies, her mind pulling back from you all as she reaches back out to the others.
“Where do you want us to deploy?” Meloka asks the king, you clearly able to see that she's ready to throw down with Komand'r once more.
“Meet me by the palace, we'll wait for her there.” King Vegeta tells you both. To which you and your wife share a nod, raising your hands to your foreheads immediately. With a moment's thought you and Meloka leave your home, appearing beside the king in his throne room. Where Nappa is barking orders to the Royal Guard. “Ah, right. Well, stay with me. We'll meet the Tamaraneans here, should they choose diplomacy.”
“Should we put the call out for others to be here as well?” you ask, King Vegeta shaking his head.
“Everyone who could put up a fight will no doubt sense them coming, and with us all gathered here, will understand what's going on.” your king says as the large double doors are thrown wide, Bardock marching in with Leyas and Sarada backing him up, his two older sons joining them as well. “If a fight DOES break out, we can call others into the city and hit them with a pincer attack, preventing any from escaping.”
“Sounds like you've gotten everything ready.” you say, when another mind reaches out to your own.
“Dad, are they coming for Kori?” Broly asks, you sensing his worry through the link.
“I don't know, but its certainly possible.” you tell him. “Best to keep her away from her sister, until we know what they want. And don't group up with Turles and Ticho either, if Komand'r is coming for both of them we shouldn't make an easy target of them for her.”
“Right.” he replies, then after a moment's thought adds in. “I'll keep her safe, but we're not leaving. This is our home, and we're not running.”
“Don't worry, we'll handle this.” you tell him seriously. “Your mother and I won't let Komand'r past us.”
“Everyone, you know what's about to happen.” King Vegeta says, addressing the room full of powerful soldiers and Royal Guard. “You all have been through so much worse than a few Tamaraneans, but don't let your guard down. Do not start another war, but should they decide to commit suicide by attacking us, do not hesitate and cut them down. Understood?”
“SIR!” they all shout, the room full of warriors all saluting their warrior king.
