"No no, I'd appreciate it." he says with a genuine smile before hefting the sword. "Just a moment, let me put this away. I'll meet you both by them."
"We'll see you there." you tell him, turning to Broly who's eyes haven't left the sword. He stares at it until Chilli heads down the stairs, then once eye contact with the weapon is broken he blinks, shaking his head. “You okay?”
“Y-Yeah, I'm fine.” he says, clearly forcing himself to turn fully away from the open doorway. “Let's go.”
Without another word he leaps down, jumping from the roof. You follow his energy as he drops with your ki sense, then suddenly realize something odd. There's another tiny ki signature by where he lands. Curious, you leap down as well, landing beside your son only to find him looking at a woman embedded in the crystal wall of Chilli's home.
“What the hell?” you mutter, confused. The person isn't wearing the typical clothes of the Crimson Demons, in fact her clothes are entirely unfamiliar. Who is she, and why has your son trapped someone within the walls of his home? But, and perhaps even more alarming, how are they still alive without being able to breathe? You continue to stare, the curiosity before you not presenting any answers.
“Oh, you found her.” Chilli suddenly says from behind you, turning and seeing him holding what seem to be a pair of bone knives. “Just leave her be.”
“Who is she?” Broly asks, not turning away.
“The avatar of a goddess, out for vengeance.” Chili replies. “I killed her sister goddess, so now she kept sending these goons after me. But since I trapped her essence within my home, she hasn't been able to escape or send anything else after me.”
“Your crystals trapped a goddess? Well done.” you say, reaching up and ruffling his hair for a moment. “We'll follow your lead.”
“Let's go.” he says, kicking off the ground. You and Broly follow behind, leaving emerald trails as the two of you fly. Chilli doesn't bother transforming, taking his time flying directly to the bodies. He lands beside the four dragons, walking directly over to the largest. You approach another one, Broly going to another one trapped within his brother's crystals. Chilli sets the bone knives down, then as he turns you swing your right arm down in a vicious chop directly behind the jaw and through the neck of the one at your feet. “Woah, hold on dad. There's a way to do this, and save as much of the meat, scales, and valuable pieces as possible. First, swords out.”
Chilli throws his right arm wide, pale Energy Blade extending out and around his hand. You and Broly follow suit, drawing your own energies out into identical cutting edges.
