‘I’ll see what it is, Ghost Pepper. Over.’ mom answers.
‘Checking it out too, Momma Bird. Over and out.’
You activate Stealth Mode and stand up anyway. And you can sense that Gohan’s already jumped out of bed, heading to the kitchen to make it seem like he’s getting water. ‘Might be nothing, might not be.’ your brother says. ‘What’ll you do, sis?’
‘Prepare appropriately.’
Okay, if it’s Fu, prepare some Vicious Mockery to use against ‘em. If not, be ready to knock ‘em down if they’re a threat, or shoo ‘em off it they aren’t. You float out your window quietly and touch down on the ground, looking around. There’s… no one here? Wait, no, there is. They’re just hiding their Ki very well. Dad’s gotten outside too, with mom heading out ahead of the both of you. Gohan’s the last out of the house. Now all of you are keeping your eyes open, trying to sense out even the slightest hint of-
…Wait. WAIT. Oh you know what this is. You hide yourself carefully and start searching the treetops towards the forest. And there you catch the briefest glimpse of a figure up there. Ninja. But they’ve noticed mom too, and…
They drop down near her, kneeling. “Maple Son-Mahogany.” a lady’s voice addresses. “I am sorry to disturb your family at this time.”
Gohan seems to recognize that voice. “Ume?”
She acknowledges him with a nod. “Lady Yurin was given premonition of trouble stirring. We have been sent to investigate what it is.”
“What kind of premonition?” mom asks the ninja lady, motioning for her to stand up.
“Premonition of disappearances.”
…Huh? You and dad finally close in. “What kind of disappearances?” you finally ask directly.
“You and several others vanish. We do not know the mechanism of how, we do not know why, but… we have suspicions.”
“Suspicions like… Towa?” mom speculates. “Seems like the type of thing she’d pull.”
Dad’s turn to ask a question. “Why do that now though? She’s had a lot of opportunities for something like that before.”
>A. Does Yurin know who exactly would disappear? Is that why you’re over here, to check on if someone else was here when they weren’t supposed to be?>B. We should check up on everyone else. They need to know as soon as possible>C. Dad’s got a point, why do it NOW of all times? …Could it be related to the Promised Day?>D. Something else?
