However, the Red Ribbon army survived, coming back after a few years spent preparing. Emerging to slaughter that monster and saving us all last May.” he says, you getting a vague idea what the powerlevel vanishing meant. Seems they killed the strong one themselves, somehow. But as he says this you expand your ki sense, and almost immediately detect a single, massive powerlevel. One easily in the nine digits range, dwarfing every other being on the planet. One that you all are heading right towards, drawing closer and closer to. Yet, as you do, suddenly his radio crackles to life, someone shouting.
“-ot, I repeat, do not approach! He has returned! Demon King Piccolo has returned!” the voice shouts, the uniformed man slamming on his vehicle's brakes. You watch as his skin pales, sweat immediately pouring as his hands tremble. “All forces, alert! Headquarters is under attack by Demon King Piccolo!”
“N-No way. This can't be!” the man says, looking even more terrified than he was when you showed a fraction of your power. “It's over, it's all over.”
“So, this 'demon king' is back? Well, today's your lucky day.” you tell him, the man turning to you in shock. “This world now belongs to the PTO, and we're not going to let anyone contest our claim. So, don't worry, this 'Piccolo' will be taken care of. Is that your base, this way?”
Pointing directly at the powerlevel you can sense, the man nods, then finds his voice.
“Th-The base is protected from view by a holographic shield, but living beings can pass right through it.” he tells you. “And I can't speak for the whole world. But most of us lost family to that monster last time it went on a rampage. If you can stop it, that'll win you a whole lot of favor with my people.”
“Understood.” you say, turning to Cui and his men. “Cui, I'm going on ahead. Seems our powerlevel's made itself known. Escort them in while I handle business.”
“Yes sir. Happy hunting General!” Cui shouts, you nodding before taking off. Cutting loose a bit, careful not to blow them away as you accelerate towards the massive powerlevel. You've waited an entire year for this, you can't wait to see what this 'demon king Piccolo' can really do!
